100 Foot Expandable Garden Hose Review - Pros And Cons

[@themightysquid]

I had an expandable hose once. ONCE! It didn’t last a season before it started tearing away from the connector. As much as wanted this to work, I never bought another one and stuck with a solid hose that’s lasted for years.

[@TheWendolGuild]

the way this guy says water made my day....

[@jkumpol]

First person I’ve ever seen wash car with snow on the ground. That’s dedication, bravo

[@gwyndyr32]

We are car twins! Thanks for the hose info, I was getting fatigue trying to figure out which one to get.

[@onesadtech]

Just recently found your channel when you bought that BIG compressor, and I have to say, I'm really enjoying the laid back, but to the point style you have going here! It feels pretty fresh and new, in a very good way! Keep up the great work buddy! Cheers from over in Newfoundland. 😊

[@brianhaw9398]

With all that extra hose you could wash a few of the neighborhood cars while you have your bucket thawed out.lol. another few weeks and the winter will be over(with a bit of luck)! If you get the opportunity please do a long term test.

[@ScottRods]

Yeah, I plan to revisit a lot of the stuff I reviewed last year, just to keep it real.

[@wbwills2]

This type of hose is convenient ,the trade off is some durability. I’m going to go for it this season. Prefer the straight brass nozzle you twist on&off. Suspect it should pair nicely with the retraction .just using on soft grass & not going to yank it or put much stress on the ends. There is one particular hose brand (Aqua blue or aqua Joe.?.)surely there’s others,same product rebranded ect. More of a mini firehose design. Appears more durable but doesn’t retract on its own.kink free ,light weight ,less bulk.both types would be fine.might flip a coin . Time for something different. Thx Spray on.

Great video, cheers for that.

[@solargarage]

Well now, that is an expandable review. And yes I just ordered one.

[@FreeAmericans]

Thank you for this review!!

[@IronHorseGarage]

Right on Dave!!

[@wbwills2]

Nice choice on the color of the Cooper…& wheels..

[@starz3893]

I always wanted to see the 100ft hose version review

[@vinjagvijya]

I had one while I was in south - I was duped in india - I got one from Amazon and it was the by far the worst product for 8£ it never expanded . I have ordered a new one with me bro from Amazon Uk hopefully it’s the same that I used back in the days thanks 🙏🏼 mate

[@michaelthomas7898]

You know we still have a couple of weeks of winter left technically and the first few weeks of spring aren't always the best. But it's all good. The only cons I've seen on those hoses is they don't like constant pressure and they tend to move around a lot on my well as the pressure goes up and down, messes up my lawn sprinkler. Nice review and I got to say they work awesome for washing the car.

[@henryg683]

The suspense is killing me already!!! I’m hoping I’ll not have to wait a week to find out what new item you’ve gotten!!!! See you in the next video Dave have fun with whatever it is!!!!!

[@renostubbs8504]

Nice video mate! Any advice would be appreciated. Would any of you guys use this hose on a pressure washer???

[@ScottRods]

I’ve used it on my pressure washer no problem.

[@ritasenergyherbs3650]

How is this hose holding up? What is the warranty? Thanks for the review

[@ScottRods]

Still perfect, but I am very careful not to snag it on anything, and always drain it.

[@joewolf4483]

Looks like a nice hose....althou I'm kinda rough on hoses so I'll stick to the solid one.....interested to see your new toy....

[@ScottRods]

Yes, I'm kinda rough on them too, which is why this is my fourth, lol.

[@wbwills2]

@@ScottRods saw a video of a repair. Stick Large hex wrench in the end ,unscrew ,snip,go over the end with a lighter,reassemble..

[@1957cajun]

@@wbwills2 I’ve done this at least a dozen times now and have probably cut off at least 50 feet of my 100 foot hose. Can’t take it any more.

[@wbwills2]

@@1957cajun a friend that works at a hardware store gave me a bunch of retuned ones. 100’,50’s& some 25s. Dk why they were returned. No damage. Except for 1 The only green one in the bunch. Also got a couple more conventional rubber hoses. I have used a 75’ rubber to a 50’ rubber to 50 feet of black expansion hose. Uncoated silver aluminum fittings on the expandable. It takes a minute to build pressure in the expandable one & I rarely uncoil the rubber ones. No problems for first summer I can remember. The combo handles the pressure better..maybe..?. I think I accidentally figured out what works best. For me anyway. Give mixed hoses a shot a see if you notice any difference ..I need to trench in some more spigots .2 spots I can think of off the top of my head.

[@Martyntd5]

Can the mystery metal fittings be swapped out for standard Hozelock quick disconnects?

[@ScottRods]

Yes, that's what I did.

[@watchingover3592]

4:54 check out the white gallon container on the bottom shelf near the floor !!! It needs wriggle room 😃

[@ScottRods]

Great, now I have ghosts too.

[@wannabyawatch]

What is the make and model of the nozzle that you switched out? I've always had problems with nozzles that have switchable spray patterns. BTW I might want to try one of those hoses but the spigot is before the regulator and might just cause the hose to burst. I'm using a Craftsman hose that I've had for a couple decades. You do make a very watchable video. Thanks.

[@ScottRods]

Hey Douglas. I'm not ignoring you, I just keep forgetting to check when I'm near the hose. I'll try again later.

[@wannabyawatch]

@@ScottRods No worries my friend. Have a wonderful day and week. Thanks.

[@ScottRods]

@@wannabyawatch I forgot again. Hold on, I'll go check right now.

[@ScottRods]

Ok, this is the whole kit with the nozzle I like. You will notice it does not have a trigger, but an adjustable lever which I really like. I'll post links with both the kit, and just the nozzle. amzn.to/3R6qkHi amzn.to/3KtK7h0

[@wannabyawatch]

@@ScottRods Sweet! Thanks!

[@1957cajun]

I’d like to know how long this hose lasted? I’ve been through a half dozen of these things and I’m pretty fed up with them now. Every time I go to use one of them it either starts leaking pretty bad or completely bursts and gushes water everywhere. Does anyone make one that is durable?

[@ScottRods]

I'm still using this one every other day

[@garyscarstuff]

Good review. Unfortunately our water pressure is dismally low so likely wont work for me😟

[@Tundra_Guy]

How's it holding up?

[@ScottRods]

Still doing great.

[@programming_and_snacks5192]

How can I attach it to a kitchen tap? How to know what adapter to use

[@alistairclyne9362]

Already got one of these fantastic hoses over here in sunny Scotland ... where thanks to global warming we’ve had hardly any frost/ice/snow this winter. I only mentioned it in case you get fed up with all your freezing buckets and sponges 🧽 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@AtulSharma-vc2tg]

When i switch of the water from the spigot, the water comes out of spigot from those tiny holes..does it happen to you..how do i fix it?

[@ScottRods]

I'm not sure where you mean, with the water coming out, but basically the water will keep coming out until the hose has stopped retracting as it's under elastic pressure.

[@AtulSharma-vc2tg]

@@ScottRods scott the water comes out of the spigot (those tiny circular holes) when i shut if off. This happens as a result of the water pipe contracting since there is water in it due to it being stretched...is this something that happens to you too..? i am new to all this so dont know if this is how it should work or there is some problem with mine.

[@dragonclubracing8669]

Can you attach them to pressure washers?

[@ScottRods]

I use it on mine with no problem. Pressure washers actually reduce the flow, that's how they make pressure, like when you pinch the end of a hose with your fingers. Actually that's not entirely accurate, but you get the idea, lol.

[@ginni333]

Can any of these work with an 1800 psi pressure washer?

[@ScottRods]

I use our pressure washer with one. Remember, a pressure washer uses a lot less water than a wide open garden hose.

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Where is Bugsy ?

[@garyscarstuff]

He keeps it (him?) in the neighbours garage.

[@TheCanadianBubba]

@@garyscarstuff- Right... I remember that now 👍

[@AndysDogHouse]

Hey Dave. I thought those hoses would be great as well. I bought 2 of them and both blew out. Pure garbage. SAVE YOUR MONEY.🥵🥵

[@TheWendolGuild]

those houses are litreally connected to each other wtf...

[@ScottRods]

Wait till you see an apartment block!

[@robertollervides3911]

I’m a old men and very happy,just not to keeping outdoors

[@monsooniphone]

Thank You 🎃 for you’re review I’m not going to buy one.

[@ScottRods]

Well I'm glad I could help, I guess, lol.
