Notice-Danger!

The "Pocket Hose Brass Bullet W Jet Nozzle 25 FT" is just that, a" High Powered Bungee Cord Bullet"! If you plan to use it your in for a Surprise! It is ONLY 15' useable UNTIL it is PRESSURIZED! So if you think you can hook it to the Hydrant and then attach it to your RV 20-25 feet away,GOOD LUCK! It has a Bungee Cord Recoil if you Let Go,and it will cause "Damage/Harm/or Death" if it hits you or the RV! When in the "Unpressurized State" it has Super Bungee PULL POWER" to dislodge your City Water Connection off the RV! The ONLY way I see these can be used at their "Advertised Length" is Hook to Hydrant first,then with a ADDED shut off Valve attached to the other end of the Hose,turn on the water supply then turn OFF the output valve,NOW Wait until the HOSE Expands out to its Advertised Length then hook up to your RV and turn the added VALVE on! The Disconnect after use is not Quite so VIOLENT! BUT be aware when disconnecting also! For a Normal Garden Hose use at Home with a Spray Nozzel attached these hoses might be fine,but be aware if you plan to use for RV Supply! Youroo!!

That is some strong water pressure you have. My hose fills up in a graceful manner 😁

I'd never use one for drinking water - I don't believe they're approved for drinking water, but as Danx2 says above - mine works gracefully for use with my black tank flush. I suppose I've got a different brand (same type of hose though) because mine came with a cutoff on on the male end of the hose.

I miss my old Toro Compact 50 flat hose. That thing was awesome. Took up less space than a mouse's ear, and you could pack it up in about a minute flat.


Only downside was you had to let out all 50 feet off the reel before you could use it, which kinda sucked when you only had to go 10 feet. But other than that, it was awesome

I used one of these years ago when I had my pop up.

Did you experience the "impact" of the bungee?

I used one of these. And you're right, you had to unroll all 50 feet to use it. But it was very compact and easy to store

MacGyver could use that hose to take out a whole group of terrorists.

I had one of those hoses then after about a year I turned it on one day and I was watering the CG lawn with all the pin holes in it. I did just get one of those Zero G hoses and they seem to work well.
