In this video, we explain the differences between the Flexzilla Garden Hose and the SwivelGrip. Both hoses are lightweight, durable, and drinking water safe! The SwivelGrip offers a great value to people that don't have a hose reel, as the SwivelGrip action unkinks the hose as you walk it out. The Flexzilla Garden Hose offers the same hose material, but with traditional ends, making it the perfect choice for anyone that owns a hose reel.
Key Features:
- Exteme all weather flexibility
- Lays flat/no memory
- Lightweight and easy to handle
- Resists abrasion, UV, and mold
- Drinking water safe

This might be my favorite pair of gloves. Have you seen CLC Work Gear's Tradesman Gloves? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZhgqMZl3dbXn6M.html

Fascinating and really concise comparison. My flexilla hose is the best hose on my three acre garden and I own a lot of hoses. I just wish more of the stores I shop at carry them... Hello @Costco

Great video. Can I use the flexilla quick connects with the swivel head? Thanks!

@WBToolNews Жыл бұрын

Yes, absolutely!

@mkhan_mvp Ай бұрын

thanks for the fantastic and extremely helpful video! subbed! Question 1) how do people store the swivel grip hose if not a hose reel? Question 2) Can both hoses work with third-party quick connect kits? (for eg, I'm hoping to use a metal Yardworks quick connect set with these hoses. Thanks so much!!!

@WBToolNews Ай бұрын

You can also coil these on the ground, or on a wall hangar. Also they are standard measurements for hoses, so third party quick connect should work!

They are good hoses, but they tends to get kinked up and memory in the same spots.

The Flexzilla adjustable sprayer doesn’t work with the quick connects that come with the hose. Spent twelve dollars separately on it and can’t use it. So that’s an added expense since you have to buy a separate connector for the sprayer.

Hi @thaismatsumoto, are you talking about the 3-Piece Nozzle Kit here: www.flexzilla.com/water/quick-connect-garden-hose-fittings/ If so, that one should have everything you'd need to connect the included nozzle with the hose using that quick connect. If that's not the one you mean then let me know and I might be able to help.

Yea, getting the right technique to roll it onto the hose hanger without adding kinks took me a while. It's easy with a light hose, thankfully all Flexzilla hoses are lightweight.

You have to flip and loop; flip and loop. I'm learning on my new flexzilla right now. Remember flip... Then put it on the hose hanger then grab another section and flip. Once you figure that out beauteous

Well i use this for my water line for my pressure washer trailer setup. Cons: My issue with them is that they start to curling up and it's a pain to straighten them out when water and pressure are in the line. Yes, they still do kink. No one can make a kink free hose. Pros: There're light weight, very visible.

Thanks Michael, are you talking about the swivelgrip or the garden hose?

@@michaelc7283 Yea, the main advantage of the SwivelGrip is that it drastically reduces the chance of memory and kinks because you can unwind it just by pulling on the hose. Since the garden hose doesn't have that, it can occasionally get kinked up.

It would be nice if Flexzilla would make a hose 🐍 that would have both ↔️ one Pro Spiral Bend Restrictor and one Swivel Grip! Best of both worlds when using a hose reel 🌀.

@SciaticaDrums 7 күн бұрын

Flexzilla hoses will kink. The important part is the hose won't 'remember' the kink and keep kinking at that spot. I honestly won't use any other brand of hose.

It's more important to compare these popular 'shrink hoses' that are promoted 'big time' in home warehouse stores, to regular garden hoses. Imo, shrink hoses are absolute GARBAGE!

Sorry to hear that @DaniD76! We had pretty good luck with this hose!

@@WBToolNews I feel like if it’s spread out before turning the water on, it’s ok - but when the water is turned on and it’s not all uncoiled - it does kink.
