Stop Rolling Hoses The Wrong Way No More Tangles Or Kinks

[@joesarb6455]

I can't believe I watched this either. Just to share my experience ,that a hose gets hardened and loses its pliabilty overtime if left under the sun . So what I do is I keep my hose in the garage away from direct sunlight after each use and I'm happy to report that the cheap hose is still in a very good condition after more than 5 years.

[@madmonk9396]

I learned this from a friend of my dad's that used to be a roadie for various rock and country bands. It's how they roll up all the mic, amplifier, and power cables. It's fantastic when you throw a length of cable across a space and it unwinds itself without kinking. Very satisfying.

[@richardharding7767]

I am commenting to feed the algorithm to spread this knowledge. Will share with as many of my students as possible, I believe this is a "forgotten knowledge" that needs to be spread again.

[@richardharding7767]

I also went trough and thumbs upped like 30 comments again to feed the algorithm. Thanks again for sharing sir. I have used the "electricians loop" for quite some time but will switch to this for many applications to prevent the hard kicking of lines that sometimes occurs when pulling cordage out from that.

I was taught this years ago by a guy in an audio engineering course, but instinctively applied it to garden and air compressor hoses and just about any long skinny thing that needed coiling ever since. It's crazy how many people aren't taught to do it like this. The strap trick I learned from my grandpa and still use to this day.

[@SamkoTradBow]

Yep it should be taught in high school

This is an awesome solution to a problem. I was specifically happy about the garden hose explanation because you fixed it to the Floor. My garden hose is attached to the outside tap and needs to be rolled up against a fixture attached to the wall, so your foot on the hose convinced me that it was possible indeed to make it happen that way too. Thank you! Excellent tip!

I LOVE this method, SO glad I learned to do it, now I use it to for all my hoses AND extension cords. I practiced this with a short piece of rope until I learned the proper way to do it, I start with a Clockwise loop, then a Counterclockwise loop, the over, under as you call it. makes it easier to do if you stretch out the hose or cord all the way before starting.

73 years too late! Thanks ans congratulations on a super-helpful video production. This is a truly simple and effective solution to prevent tangles, especially for long, 75 to 100 foot, hoses. Simple, clear video, right to the point early in the video. In my mind's eye, this solution may even apply to electrical wiring, especially heavy guage, being prepared for pulling into conduit, haven't tried on wiring but will do next time. Your hose method is a true winner! Thanks again.

I could have done with this practical advice six months ago when I bought my new 30m hose. I have since bought a hose cart and its now much easier as it winds back onto the drum nice and straight. This must also be useful for electricity extension cables, some of mine are badly twisted inside the outer insulation. I feel a little stupid that I didn't discover this truth on my own.

This is an old Navy/mariner rope throwing method, and you may also see figure 8 being used with very large ropes for big ships. Over under method works just as well for extension cords, ropes, guitar leads, steel cable etc. I ask people/customers to not roll up my hoses and extension cords for me when I'm finished on site, as 'I have a special technique to avoid tangles' and it's also the quickest and neatest method. When I played in a band, I used to pack up all the other muso's guitar leads, and all the audio and mic leads etc with this over under method, and they couldn't work out how the leads never tangled up next time we used them🤣👍

[@SamkoTradBow]

Yep when you have to handle hoses and cords alot you learn to find the best ways quickly.

[@solarnaut]

[@i_no_nutin]

I use the figure 8 method. Picked it up from my years as an electrician, when we would pull cable off huge reels in preparation for large cable pulls. If you want it to take up less space for storage, put a strap around each end of the 8, then fold one half of the 8 over onto the other half. When ready to use it, unfold the halves.

Thanks! I look forward to using this technique. I always fight with my air hoses when coiling them. I’d gotten to where I absolutely hated using PVC hoses because of it.

I did FOH touring audio for over 20 years and badly wrapped cables is a time killer. The trick is to also NOT lift your elbows. Keep them by your sides, so depending on loop size, you just move your forearms out and it makes consistent sized loops easy and quick. Secure the bundle with whatever method you choose, because having it shift and tangle during transport is just as bad as not wrapping it correctly.

Great tips

You should do a video on power washers for the home... hoses, lances, connectors, etc. What to get, what not to get, what to avoid, and so on.

I did last year. If you sear pressure washer on my channel. Also have a video on how to pressure wash concrete 3 different ways.

I'm learning this after "fighting it" for 60 years. It's never too late to learn. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it

I have seen this method recommended in a formulaic way, but this is the first time I've gotten a good description of it and a demo of how the little kinks that show up when you pull the hose out cancel each other. Thank you!
