The Rumford Gardener GA7500 50-Foot Flat Garden Hose with Reel Review

The Rumford Gardener GA7500 50-Foot Flat Garden Hose with ReelI purchased this because I had one a long while ago, and it was great. This one however is not all fabric like my previous one, but has a vinyl liner. I used it and it rolled up fine. Just hope it will hold up since I do not have faith in the vinyl.IT DIDN'T HOLD UP, LEAKING ALREADY

100-ft. X 3/8" Commercial-duty Air Hose Review

100-ft. X 3/8' Commercial-duty Air HoseThere isn't a lot to say. This is a no nonsense commercial grade hose. It's thick but flexible. It's "eeeww" safety yellow so you'll see it and it lies flat on the floor so it won't likely trip you. I expect it to last essentially forever unless it gets cut or punctured.

Liberty Garden Products 4-in-1 Multi-Purpose Two Wheel Garden Hose Reel Cart With 100-Foot Hose Capacity #706-1-Bronze Review

Liberty Garden Products 4-in-1 Multi-Purpose Two Wheel Garden Hose Reel Cart With 100-Foot Hose Capacity #706-1-BronzeThe reel is too low to the ground with too little clearance from the base of the cart. Because of the clearance, I have to carefully make sure that the hose winds neatly on the reel. Further, the wheels do not stay firmly connected to the axle. I need to continually give them a kick to make them click on. I will likely sell this model and get a better one with a larger reel with more clearance.

Homier - Magnum Air 3/8" 250 PSI Retractable 50' Air Hose and Reel Review

Homier - Magnum Air 3/8' 250 PSI Retractable 50' Air Hose and ReelDoes the job but not good enough.Faults.(1) The bracket that holds it is
not strong enough relative to the weight of the unit.You can fasten it securely but it still wobbles because the steel is not strong enough.Handle it carefully and it works OK.I would not have bought it had I realized that it was so weak.(2) The hose end came off.I had to purchase a hose clamp to hold the hose end on again.Now I have a hose end with an inconvenient clamp around the end of it.This interferes with using the hose and attaching tools to the end of the hose with the quick connect that I use.

Apex 8885-50 NeverKink 5/8-Inch-by-50-Foot Commercial Duty Hose Review

Apex 8885-50 NeverKink 5/8 inch-by-50-Foot Commercial Duty HoseI got this hose was a little scared because of the negative reviews I was seeing. My experience is that the hose is MUCH better at not kinking compare to my Flexogen (expensive) hose. The Flexogen was almost unuseable in my backyard 3 to 4 kinks constantly and losing water pressure all the time. This Teknor has in 5 days of watering only mildly kinked once and when it did, a shake of the hose freed up the kink. The flexogen I would have to actually pickup the kink and straighten it; with the Teknor just a simple flick of the hose while still watering was enough to fix it. Huge Improvement! I give it 4 stars because it can still kink so Neverkink is a misleading name but works so much better its really more of a 5.

Melnor T402 Deluxe Fireman's Hose Nozzle Review

Melnor T402 Deluxe Fireman's Hose NozzleThis is a very nice well crafted nozzle in all respects except one, it seems to limit the flow somewhat from a typical nozzle, and doesn't give the same jet range when set to the thin narrow pattern. I purchased this and a Ray Padula version at the same time, and that one has a superior spray and flow in my view. Otherwise this is great.

Hitachi 19412F 50-Foot-by-1/4-Inch Polyurethane Air Hose Review

Hitachi 19412F 50-Foot-by-1/4 inch Polyurethane Air HoseI bought two of these hoses mostly due to the favorable reviews and the really low sale price.

What I have found though, is that the hose fittings aren't up to serious use. So far I've had the fittings on both ends of one hose pull loose, once with wild thrashing of the hose until I could get to the compressor to disconnect it. The other hose I had the gun-end fitting break off when I dropped my gun. In both cases, it was the result of shoddy materials or construction. The hose with the loose ends was clearly not swaged tight enough at the factory. I could push the fittings completely back into the end of the hose and pull them off again by hand. In the case of the broken fitting, upon examination of the fitting I found that the fitting wall was very thin. I don't know whether this was an anomaly or indicative of all the fittings, but they clearly aren't meant for serious work.

On the other hand, the hose material itself is great. It is light weight and stands up to daily use on a construction site. While it will kink more easily than heavy duty hoses, the kinks don't appear to damage the hose itself. Just straighten out the kink and keep working.

So you can view this product in one of two ways. The first is that it is good, as is, for light weight occasional use around the shop. The second is that you've purchased a couple lengths of really good hose, but expect to replace the ends and fittings if your plan to use it for serious work.

When I purchased them they were on sale for $15.13 each. Had I paid the current price of $41.61 I would be livid. At $15.13 they were a good purchase for the hose material. At $41.61 I would not recommend them for any reason at all.

Coxreels Air Hose Reel With Hose - 3/8in. x 50ft. Hose, Max. 300 PSI Review

Coxreels Air Hose Reel With Hose - 3/8in. x 50ft. Hose, Max. 300 PSICoxreels Air Hose Reel - 3/8" x 50ft. hose 300 PSI

This product is the Coxreels model P-LP-350.P: Performance series; LP: Low Pressure (300 psi); 350: 3/8" x 50' hose (included).

I've owned one of these reels since 1993, and have used it hundreds of times.

The reel works as you would expect of a high-quality product.To have the reel lock at the hose length needed; pull out what you need, and stop after one of the loud clicks.When done, pull the hose out a foot or so to release the lock, and slowly release the hose for it to automatically roll back up.Don't let go of the hose at that point, because it goes in so fast, it could hurt someone or damage something if smacked by the hose end.(The only reels on the market where it's safe to let the hose go when it's winding up, is the more expensive Coxreels EZ-Coil series; they feed the hose in, slowly.)

About 6 months ago, air started leaking in the fitting that the air compressor's hose attaches to.I sent an e-mail to Coxreels technical support and they told me which new part would eliminate the leak.I purchased, then replaced the swivel (see Customer Images), and the reel is as good as new.It's nice to know you can still get the manufacturer to provide advice on a 15-year old product.

The reel is all steel, except for the brass fittings.The base is 1/4" steel plate and is very strong.The painting has held up without any issues.The hose that comes with the reel is excellent reinforced rubber.It looks pretty much as it did 15 years ago.There are no rattles when pulling the hose out, as with some cheaper hose reels.

This is a high-quality, professional-grade hose reel.Highly recommended.

Goodyear Hose Reel - 3/8 x 50 Feet Review

Goodyear Hose Reel - 3/8 x 50 FeetThis is the best hose reel in this price range.Let me explain why:

Unlike Commercial-Quality Auto-Rewind Air Hose Reel with 3/8 RUBBER Hose this hose reel has dual support arms.

Unlike Rapid Reel Air Hose Reel - Holds 3/8in. x 100ft. Hose, Max. 300 PSI this hose reel has automatic rewind and it's a very strong spring.

Unlike Reelcraft RT650-OLP 3/8-Inch by 50-Feet Spring Driven Hose Reel for Air/Water this hose reel is all steel so your drum wont get britle and break like all plastic does after 10 years.

This hose reel puts Grizzly H5683 Hose Reel 1/4" x 33' Pvc Casing to shame.You'd only buy that if you want to teach yourself the lesson of don't buy cheap junk.

Lastly, unlike Cox Reels EZ-P-LP-350 3/8" 50ft Air/water Safety Series Ezcoil Reel this hose reel costs 1/3 of the price.

Now it says it comes with a 2 year warranty, but I'm not sure that means much because finding parts may be difficult because this reel doesn't seem to be too popular yet.Also If I had to ship it to get warranty service it would cost $50 because it weights 50lbs.However it appears to be built well enough that the warranty shouldn't come into play.I hope to be around to update this in a few years and let you know.
