  • New "Expanding" hoses

    Anyone try one of those new hoses that expand and contract based on water flow through them? Just saw one for sale the other night. The concept looks good, but I wonder if they work as advertised.

    Thanks.

    Watched an advert for xhose, thought the idea was great, no kinks expands and contracts after water t urned off, then googled it for reviews, sadly it made a mockery off clever advertising, lots only lasted 10 minutes before ends came apart, some ruptured, and the poor flow was a problem, also the outer w ould fray, idea is there just needs a. Quality manufature instead of junk

          The idea isn't that new. The compact hoses have been used at marinas for a long time. Dock space is limited, so you have to minimize everything. I think the newest expanding one would work well in your kit of detailing stuff, especially if you are away from home, like at a hotel where they have a car show, and hoses are usually just that muchtoo short.

            the one I like so far is called Pocket Hose.

              Agreed, low water flow. I put it on a foam gun, much lighter, easier to maneuver. Was thinking of putting on the high pressure washer. Hose is still new, not sure of life expectancy or leaking.
