X-Hose?

I've found that the connections are the weak point and end up going. Once gone they can't be repaired.

 

Did you buy one in the end FC? If so how are you getting on with it?

 

@fat controller There's a thread on this type of hose in Off Topic.

Not bought one yet but whilst I've been pondering the price has gone down to less than £30. However, worried that it might not expand to full length so am going to go for the 100ft hose instead. Will let you know how I get on.

If you YouTube X Hose reviews, they aren't great. Have a look at this

 

Wilkos sell them, for example

Bookmark the links, and keep checking for when they go to half price, if they dissapear from the website it usually means they're reduced in store.

 

cant remember the last time I decided to hit my garden hose with a mallet on the edge of a paving stone .

I just use a normal hose but I have it attached to the garden tap all the time, the hose is then wound around two wooden bits fixed to the shed wall.
That way I just unroll what I want to use and the rest stays on the wall.
It works for me.

 

My new hose arrived yesterday. I shall report back once I've tested it.

My mum has one, and she is liking how light it is. (She is 80 years old, and thinks my handbag is heavy!!)
