Most people are going to use a hose reel for garden hoses, especially for home use but the figure eight over under methods work well for contractor work. The only problem I see is getting the water out of the hose which you didn’t elaborate on but a hose reel uses simple Archimedes Screw mechanics to remove most of the water from the hose providing you open or remove the nozzle from the male end of the hose. You are going to have to walkout the hose with the hose over your head to get the water out or you’re going to be manhandling a heavy hose full of water. When I was a contractor using air hoses for the pumps, we would lay the hose out straight then whip it in loops to quickly coil it up. Never had any tangle issues and the hose automatically adjusted to its coil diameter and orientation. It only takes less than thirty seconds to coil a hose this way. When I first started working there I was coiling your way but my coworkers showed me their method and I was immediately convinced.

@janenmarelia Ай бұрын

I would use the second method I know it from my guitar cables and are used to do that but since I am not the only one using the hoses on our ship and because it takes ages to learn old dogs new tricks I decided that the easiest way is to simply take up the hose and lay it out on the floor untangled. Never fails and is fairly quick.

An old electrician taught me to use electrical tape, adhesive-side out, to bind coils. But I should have led with thanks for taking all-that-time to coil hoses--a thankless task even when doing only one short one, let alone your repetitions with long ones. So, thanks for taking the time for us.

With something as large as a hose, there is one HUGE caveat you should note with using cross-coiling (over/under). When you go to pull the hose out, make absolutely certain that you don't pull the wrong end through the loops, because if you do, every loop becomes a knot. It's uncommon, but it does happen, especially to newbies in the cross-coiling technique.

@thromboid 22 күн бұрын

I've been using over/under for microphone and instrument cables for years and they get knotted more often than not! I'm clearly doing something wrong.

Finally, someone who knows the proper way to coil and uncoil a hose! I learned this method 45 years ago when coiling expensive sound system cables. The teacher nearly blew a gasket when someone started to coil a $300 cable from hand to elbow (the "old wash woman method" No offense intended). The whole class then received a 30 min lesson on why and how to do it. Good job!

When I was about 10 (1962) my grandfather showed me how to spool hoses and ropes so they wouldn't tangle. It was a skill he had learned in the _Great War_ trenches in 1914 or 1915. I remember that second technique. He also taught me how to darn socks (a skill I have been delighted to unlearn), cut heavyweight thread by hand, using the thread to cut itself, and many other useful skills. I wish he written all his techniques down, and possibly published them.

I now know a little something about darning a sock thanks to your comment. I'd never heard of that before, at least not the "darn" part. I just always thought it was a word used in frustration, lol.

Wow I was expecting to go to comments and read a bunch of them telling you what a waiste of time you worry about hoses, I've personally just wrap them on a real or an old wheel rim hung on the house, shows how little I know. I've done carpentry for years, I learned from one of my bosses how to weave or thread an electrical cord ...But never even thought of or heard of someone taking the time to role up a garden hose in anyway other than in a circle. And the old school comments are amazing, I don't recall my dad ever having any trouble unwinding his garden hose. We always had a hanger on the house ... And now I have a trolley on wheels it works fine. But if I ever get on a jobsight or in the firehall I'll have a better idea of what to do thanks to you... so thanks at 56 years old I still learning new tricks.👍👍👍

I went back to heavy, traditional garden hoses. For over a decade, I used those light-weight, expandable hoses... but they keep tearing and breaking.

I've used the third method for years and it's great. Just don't let the ends mix in the loops, let it hand down lower or put the ends together. Also when un"coiling" it i just hold both ends and toss the whole loop away and it unravel easy

@FitzkeeLab 6 күн бұрын

Great video! If you use over/under, it's convenient to screw the female and male ends into one another. This keeps the hose ends from passing through the center of the coil. If a hose end passes through one loop of coil, you get one knot. If an end passes through two loops, you get two knots, etc. If you don't attach the ends to each other to prevent this, your velcro wrap must be tight enough to keep the ends from passing through the center of the coil.

Professional “grips” in theater or film will also do over/under loops when they’re wrapping wire cables. The theory is that you can just toss the cable bundle in the direction you want to go, and it just unwraps itself naturally. And they use the same types of Velcro wraps. I’m not a professional grip, butn8 have learned from them.

@heartoftherobot Ай бұрын

Over under is the best, even shorter charging cables. Pro tip: If you’re using an XLR cable, you can skip the straps and lightly tie off the MALE end of the cable so it doesn’t kink near where it plugs in a mic. Start with the female end pointing away from you.

@applesbighatranch6906 Ай бұрын

Grips use rope. Set lighting techs use copper stranded electric cable and until the advent of LED studio lighting, 4/0 was used to lay in higher amperage installs. 2/0 is common, and it is always coiled for storage using a clockwise twist in rolls, never in any french braid b.s. Sound technicians use the over/under (or, clock- counterclock- twist) for their audio cables. I coil my garden hoses and 12/3 120V extensions in a clockwise-twist coil, because I know how to play them out in a straight line with no twist. Just takes practice.

I use a 5 gallon bucket for an extension cord with the plug end sticking out long enough to plug in, and can pretty much just put the cord in willy nilly, and it'll pull back out just as it went in, without any kinks. I do the same with the garbage can for garden hoses, and it protects it from the sun when in outside storage. I can then just pull out whatever length is needed. The hose reels are nice too, but this is inexpensive and no worry about winter freeze up damaging the couplings.

The manufacturer showed us your second way, coil in front, coil in back, repeat. I have a contractor-style worm-drive saw with a 25 foot power cord. I wind the cord around the saw body in a figure "8" like the first technique using the two ends of the saw to hold it. I'd draw you a picture if the comment would allow it!

The figure 8 or ocho as they are referred to is the method of storing power cables for electric drills and shovels used in the open pit mining industry. I was introduced to this at a copper mine in southern Az in the 1960's. Keeping these power cables untangled is important as the cables (large diameter extension cords) range from around 2 1/2 in to 3 1/2 in in diameter.....I've used this for my hoses all my adult life

4:40 Used that method for 30 years running a truck mount carpet cleaning unit.. works great for garden hose too.. no kinks. Called it the under over method. Just flip it under with your pinkie and ring fingers on the under loop.. can wind it with breakneck speed. Leave the very end hang with a long tail as well as the other end of the hose when you get to the end of winding the hose and lay the hose down on wherever with those tails hanging out... it will keep the ends of the hose from going through the center of the roll.. as this will cause the hose to form an actual knot at ever place the hose went through the loops.. if one of those ends goes through the center of the whole roll you will have as many knots as you have loops. Try it if you don't believe me. heh Let the tails hang almost to the ground... or about 2' long

I have an alternate to #2 that works for me...but faster and easier. I just hold the end in my left hand and make a couple loops also held in that hand. Then instead of continuing and getting obnoxious twists, I pass those loops to my right hand and make another two or three loops -- then back to the left hand. The direction of the twists flip when you change hands so the same result of a mix of left and right twists when done allow everything to cancel when you stretch it out. Just like your methods. You could alternate hands with every loop but I don't find that necessary depending on the subtleness of the hose.
