Pocket Hose Copper Bullet Expandable Garden Hose 25 FT w/10 Pattern Thumb Spray Nozzle AS-SEEN-ON-TV 650psi 3/4 in Patented Lead-Free Ultra-Lightweight Solid Copper Anodized Aluminum Fittings No-Kink

I can't address durability yet, since I just started using this hose. But I really like the spray nozzle that came with it. I have ordered a number of expandable hoses in the past, and they generally come with a cheaply-made spray nozzle. This one feels solid, and the "thumb drive" is great -- it allows you to turn the hose on and off with a flick of the thumb.

We added this to the end of our existing garden hose which was bulky and cantankerous to manipulate around the garden, stiffly retaining its coil. This extension makes it SO much easier to water all our beds without getting caught up or kinked, being much more light-weight and flexible. It appears surprisingly durable; time will show.Lastly, the sprayer that it came with is fantastic... It has great spray pattern options, and the shutoff valve is a cool feature.10/10

I’d like to give 4.5 stars with the .5 knock down due to the breakage of the rubber cover at the top of the hose not long after receiving. I thought about returning but I don’t believe it impacts the use of the hose.I’ve seen reviews saying the hose isn’t 25ft however I discovered that you want to leave the hose release in closed position and allow the hose to fully fill. It extends full length. It will shrink once you release the water but I’m still at 25ft in distance just the hose tightens up upon water release. If needed I shut off the hose to move around and it loosens and extends further again. I’m very happy with the hose. It is so lightweight and small when emptied that it is super easy to store. The spray nozzle is great! Good settings, well made. The connector to the spigot is very easy to thread. Reminder that you should not leave it in the sun after use.

It leaked at the faucet part - need to try more gaskets otherwise its great

I used it once and I really like it. Designed well and better than when they first came out years ago. I do put it indoors now. I think leaving them outside isn't a good idea. Plus I live in Arizona with the hot summers.I wouldn't put it in the garage either. It's worth a try. No leaks, easy lever to turn on.

Last summer (August 2024), I bought four of these hoses- (2) 25', (1) 50', and (1) 75' for a total of $240. The hoses and the nozzles seemed great. They expanded and coiled like advertised. I drained them and stored them in an unheated garage for the winter, and took them out this spring (April 2025). Three of four nozzles are badly leaking near the hose connection- on two of them, the part with the threads that is pressed onto the bottom of the nozzle body completely fell off. On one hose, I see that the strain relief where it connects to the hose bib on the house is broken and the strain relief is useless. I keep slack on the hoses out of the hose bibs, so this is just the plastic failing. So, while generally the hoses are less cumbersome than traditional hoses, the quality is not what it should be. I have to replace three nozzles for this season, which is disappointing.

pocket hose works well and shrinks back down to a smaller size for easy storage the nozzle is also easy to use with the slide control

I have found that none of these expandable type hoses are very well made. They all seem to have failure points and leak usually where the metal fittings attach to the hose. I gave this product 3 stars instead of less for a couple of reasons. I like the spray handle that is included. It is heavy, seems well made and had many spray options plus a cutoff valve on it. The hose I had tore at the hose guard within 2 weeks. For the price paid for these hoses it should last longer. So far that tear has not resulted in a hose failure but it's not a good sign. The other great thing about these hoses are they are light before they fill up so I can drag a long length onto my roof, have my wife turn on the water and I can go to work cleaning my roof. When I'm done turn off the water and it empties out again.
