Maintain yard neat and clutter-free with a hose extension! These lightweight models save time when you finish the yard work and save on storage space.
These inflatable tubes expand to the length they’re advertised at a medium water pressure, are resistant to snags, punctures and tears from rocks, branches and mulch, and feature brass fittings that don’t rust.
HydroTech Burst-Proof Expandable Garden Hose
With this lightweight and easy to use hose, watering your yard is painless with no pressure on your back. It also retained great pressure and was long enough for most uses; we liked the ease with which it expands/retracts when you cut off the water supply.
The four-layer latex inner core on this hose is anti-mold and anti-mildew and still strong enough for daily wear. Also, its outer nylon coating stains and punctures well for the longest use.
This hose has brass fittings, which resist repeated threading and unthreading better than plastic fittings, and a spray nozzle with different settings available.
Big Boss Pro Dac-5 Extension Hose, Red (Set of 4)
Like the Zero-G, this hose has a hardened inner latex core that’s encased in rough material that’s tamper resistant against punctures or tearing due to terrain. Besides its threefold extension capability and compact dimensions which helps in easy transporting and storage; it also features crush proof brass connectors and internal strain relief collar to further increase its durability.
As other expandable hoses, the Big Boss Dac-5 isn’t compatible with drinking water, but the strong spray and kink-free design make it great for cleaning where you need to get at some tight places. Also it’s very light and small, so it can easily be carried if that is what is needed to get into those spots where otherwise you won’t be able to access them.
Whether you’re watering the garden, washing your car or doing other outdoor projects – this black flexible hose is your go-to accessory. Easy to take anywhere with kids, expands 3 times as big as it was when water runs through it, solid brass connections and Dac-5 polyester outer layer (anti-drag) material to resist dragging, lightweight makes this extendable hose convenient for any outdoor adventures!
Pocket Hose 50-Foot Extension Garden HoseSectionally Expanded Garden HoseSectionally Expandable
This portable garden hose is the lightest extendable garden hose you will find and allows you to move it easily without twisting. Attached to a faucet and under pressure it gets up to 52.1 feet in height when filled, and shrinks again into your pocket. You will also find that this model comes with a plain spray nozzle but you can upgrade if your requirements alter over time.
Connectors that connect a hose to the end of the line are available in plastic, aluminium and brass – metal being more durable but weaker than plastic and aluminium most of the time. We have a top pocket hose on our list that has aluminum fittings, which outlive a lot of other products, but are still not among the best on our short list.
And the best part about this hose is that you can use it with pets and it’s so easy to get a bath with. Not only that but its low water pressure makes it a breeze to clean windows and furniture around your home as well. Furthermore, its ranges from 25 to 75 feet long (with a water pressure of 7.5 or more) and that is ideal for multiple tasks in a single go.
Teknor Apex Zero-G Hose
Many of the hoses we evaluated are available in standard 25- to 100-foot lengths, but the Dramm ColorStorm Premium excels because it offers a plethora of configurations – four styles, in custom sizes up to 330 feet – so you can have exactly what you need for your yard.
Teknor Apex Zero-G is the lightest, fastest flowing hose in our lineup with no kinking, a more abrasion-resistant outer cover and drinking water compatible; and commercial crush-resistant couplings compatible with all attachments for easy installation.
Teknor has designed the perfect hose for the heavy user who must drag his or her hose over rocks and driveways: the wide ergonomic grips allow you to hand-tighten and keep the hose tight – so you get plenty of coverage when you need it and no leaks.
