Hose drums

Up to 20 m or so just learn how to hand coil it properly. Longer is probably best dealt with by "figure of eighting" it on the ground. Kinks come from embedded twists in the hose, coiled properly or fig of 8'd there are no embedded twists. I burnt my wallet about 3 years ago and bought a hozelock wall mounted auto retracting 40m hose thingummy (yellow 'heavy duty' hose). I have to say it works really well - and it says it is 'guaranteed' not to kink. It certainly hasn't kinked so far, and the retracting mechanism has been really good. It was expensive but to me, well worth it. I was seriously fed up with manual retraction to a reel that seemed to always end up with hose left over; and always having to be bent double to do it; and never managing to get the reel to stay put when winding hose in. All that said, I'm sure it was considerably cheaper than I've just seen it on Amazon (£105) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hozelock-2595-Auto-Rewind-Hose/dp/B0046REBS0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1377253783&sr=8-2&keywords=hozelock+retractable+hose I seem to recall it was around £75, from a Wyevale, almost certainly on a special offer and the cheapset I could find it at the time. -- regards andy |
