Product Information

What’s not to like about this expandable garden hose? For a start it’s got a lifetime guarantee that it seems they are actually honouring. That’s confidence in your product right there, and yes you did read that right, I know of people claiming a year after buying and still getting replacements. It’s priced very well for the quality (brass hose connectors aren’t cheap). Just take a look at the link provided to be sure. Using quality brass connectors brings another advantage. It significantly reduces the amount of water you have dripping and leaking around the garden.

Next, there is the fabric covering that is unique in the design of an expandable hose. This can be made of all sorts of fabric materials but is generally a sort of durable polyester. There are multiple different designs that include the fabric just being bunched up around the inner hose to allow it to stretch as far as the maximum stretching point is. Another newer design is made so the fabric is a little bit stauncher and is coiled around the inner tubing and the coils themselves will stretch out. Even though the fabric should be durable, be sure to watch out for tearing or splitting of the fabric as it helps to protect the important inner layer. If the fabric tears, it won’t immediately cause a leak but will indicate a weak spot on the hose to watch out for during future uses. Latex Interior Expandable hoses are made from latex instead of rubber and operate differently. A rubber hose repair kit won't work here.) At 2.2kg it is also a little heavier than many of its competitors but a lot of this weight is due to the solid brass fittings. These fittings are well made, solid and will last a lot longer than the plastic ones you find on lower quality expandable hoses. One of the reasons people buy these kinds of hoses is because they aren’t supposed to get twisted up or have kinks in them, and in this respect the KINGTOP delivers. It also shrinks down very smoothly once you drain the water out. With very high water pressure you should be able to fully expand the KINGTOP to the maximum length of 100ft but under normal water pressure levels you would more likely get about two thirds of that, which is still a good length.
