Best reel I've ever owned, ours came with a cover to keep the reel plastic virginal. No fiddling around to get it to retract, pull once to extend, pull again and relax to retract.

JWM Posted 4November, 2018 Report Share Posted 4November, 2018 1 hour ago, symsy said: Spose I better buy a hose I bought a new Gerni not long ago, with a much MUCH better hose on it than the old one (which had the cheap shiny crap hose that always coils up and generally just does it's best to give you the shits) on a sturdy reel, and I have to say it's increased my Car Washing SatisfactionTM levels at least 300%. You should definitely do it. On another note, now that there appears to be an officially endorsed PFA hose, how long before I see an ad on Carsales noting "only ever serviced at Porsche dealers and washed with Hoselink hoses"??? ?

On a slightly serious note...only slightly though.. I bet if HOSELINK knew that there is obviously a market for a good hose for car enthusiasts, they might find a new field to promote in. This thread has obviously shown that. How long before Supercheap and Autobarn and the likes get a sniff. Might whiz HOSELINK an email.

OZ930 Posted 4November, 2018 Report Share Posted 4November, 2018 but are they wife proof ?? must be able to withstand: never being rolled up in winter and summer (despite having an auto roll up), able to withstand being run over by car on any surface and must be able to be stretched 5m metres longer. ......and my wife can kink any hose. The best hose to date has been one from ALDI. So far this hose has survived everything the wife has done to it. symsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your not needy of attention.. your wife sounds quite dangerous , possibly kinky and likes to stretch reality..but evidently very cost conscious being an ALDI shopper.. very promising outlook for a long life together.

JND72 Posted 5November, 2018 Report Share Posted 5November, 2018 I've had the hoselink retractables for years, great product. Currently have 3 of them, and found the high flow version (I think 14mm vs 12mm) to be the best. Their connectors are top notch, and don't ever come apart - ever. I also live on acreage and they also sell 18mm fittings (but not hose) - which I have put on some long run hoses from tanks etc again to overcome any issues with connectors/joiners blowing off. Much better than any brass or conventional plastic fitting I've ever used. Am happy to recommend. Niko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted 18November, 2023 Report Share Posted 18November, 2023 Cracked the shits today because all three of the retractable hoses I have around the house were stuffed in some way … Remembered there was a hose thread on here one and found it!

Have tried the el cheapo versions and they are shite, eventually bit the bullet and bought one Hoselink. Had it about 5 years and still going strong and have just replaced the el cheapo on the other side of the house with ..... another Hoselink. If you have some unique car washing attachments or other water products, they sell conversion parts to hook those up to their bespoke system. Very good system and true blue and BTW the company owner is a v nice car guy. Does this mean he has v nice cars, or does it mean he is a nice guy? You work it out. tomo and JWM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
