Recommend me a hose
Discussion
Sick to death of using my years old hose real where the fixings seem to explode off the end after a few mins pressure washing. I bought a load of better quality Gardena couplings a while back that helped a bit.
So I need a reel of about 20-25 metres max.
My biggest gripe comes from the short length of hose that goes from the tap to the reel. Am I right in saying you cut a length say 3 metres from the new hose to do this or am I missing something?
Edited to say I think I’ve found the answer to the short hose part https://www.tooled-up.com/hozelock-threaded-tap-ho...

Thanks for all the suggestions.
My real is definitely going, I think it crimps the hose where the water comes in too(just what you don't need when maintaining pressure is the name of the game).
I've got a length of "premium" hozelock hose and got my Gardena connectors back together and I think that will work for my short length - I didn't mention I had some expanding hose that has failed in under a year(thought it would be perfect as my short length as the connectors came pre fitted, but they died, so in the bin it goes.)
