KNIPEX Coupe-câbles à double tranchants Isolées pour 1 000 V (200 mm) 95 16 200 Multicolore

I'm writing this to deal with the number of reviews complaining about kinks. There's a simple solution.

If you leave a roll of hose flat on the ground and drag hose off it, it'll kink, regardless of its quality. That's because every loop you pull off the reel puts a full twist into the hose. A twist in a hose every metre or so is bound to cause problems.

If you take it off the roll as though the hose is on a reel then you won't add all those twists and the hose won't kink.

The alternative: leave the roll on the ground but for each loop you drag off, you MUST add a countering twist to the end of the hose.

The product itself: we use a great deal of hose in our business and I've never found better.

Certainly not kink free

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 16 juin 2022

I bought this together with the supposedly matching reel (see separate one star review). The hose does not fit the reel, and since I bought it specifically to run from my outside tap to the bottom of the garden and/or to the front of the house, I do not intend to cut it down to make it fit. My main gripe as to quality is that it is far from kink free. Because my Gardena reel (bought specifically with and for the hose) fell apart the only way to use the hose is to manually unroll it and manually roll it up again. The hose has a life of its own when it is unrolled, twisting, turning and developing kinks. We no longer unroll the hose simply to water flower beds but use a watering can. Not good vaalue at all.

Good hose

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 23 août 2021

I purchased this at a bargain price that was offered and found it of excellent quality. Really pleased with it. It certainly isn't lightweight especially when laden with water. I have had other hoses and connections in the past that have leaked but this seems sound and of good quality. I have returned back to a solid hose due to my experience with a X-Hose which has burst on me on two occasions, although the principal of these hoses are good in service their longevity doesn't seem to be that long plus the fittings supplied seem cheap and nasty. The Gardena hose and connections look good and have a quality feel to them.

So far so good.

I have only used the hose a few times so far but found that it doesn't twist at all which is a tremendous improvement on my old one. It is quite heavy but that isn't a problem and easy to coil up on a ring for storage. So far well worth the money as it is very easy to use.

Quality hose that will look great in your garden

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 7 novembre 2021

I have had this hose 3 months now, and really like it. It is robust enough, and looks smart in my garden. This is a quality product from Gardena. I purchased this when it was on promotion hence my 'value for money' score being high.
