My Hercules Hose Video Review

Features

• No Seams

  With this hose there are no seams or lines which would be prone to tearing, keeping it in perfect condition all the time.

• Six Times Stronger

  This expandable hose is allegedly is times stronger than competing hoses.

• Expands and Contracts

  This hose expands with water pressure, then contracts when the water is drained out of the hose. As a result, it is lightweight and easy to carry around in the palm of your hand when it is not full. When it is full, it is just as simple to move around.

• Store Easily

  Due to the size, this is one of the only types of hoses that you can store easily. Modern hoses are heavy, large, and difficult to bunch together because of their rigidity. These hoses are designed to alleviate the need for things like hose storage racks. Making it simple to just crumple up the hose in your hand, then put it somewhere for storage like on a shelf or in a cupboard.

• Kink Free

  This hose is allegedly kink resistant and tangle resistant, with a connector protector located at both ends of the hose to prevent it from dripping water anywhere.

Pros

• No Hose Stands

  There is no need for hose reels, boxes, or stands. Instead, watch as it crumbles back to a smaller size when not in use, then stores easily.

• Different Settings

  Just like the attachments that you often have to purchase separately for traditional hoses, these come with three settings on the removable spray nozzle.

• Water Tight

  The seal technology keeps it water tight every time you use it, so that nothing spells out.

• Makes Projects Easier

  This hose makes watering an easy process. Perfect for people who have back problems, knee problems, arthritis, or people who just want something that is not too heavy. This can be used to spray clean your gutters, clean your car, rinse your driveway, or water your plants.

• Take it on the go

  You can take this with you anywhere, in an RV or on a boat, even bring it to the office and use it to rinse cars.

Cons

• One Color

  There is only one color available and that is the dark green. The two end pieces are a bright yellow, orange combination which does stick out.

• Not as Strong

  There are other options on the market which superior durability and extra linings on the inside layers and outside layers.

• One Size

  One big downfall to this hose is that it only comes in one size. Other options on the market have up to four lengths. While the size is small enough that it should not matter in terms of storage space required, it does still matter for space. If you only have, for example, one water faucet outside but the hose won't reach where you need it which means you cannot use the hose.

• Water Pressure

  There are no remarks about what water pressure it can withstand. Other hoses have noted the psi they can tolerate. If you have high water pressure, powerful water lines in your home or yard, you run the risk of damaging this design because it will not be able to expand fast enough.

How It Works

This hose is designed to work similarly to a fire hose. Using double layer construction with an elastomer lining, it expands with water pressure. Out liners provide ultimate leak protection while protecting the hose from popping or being punctured by sharp objects. You connect it to any outdoor water faucet using the brass connector protectors and turn it on. Watch as the hose comes to life. Once you are done using the water, you just drain it completely and store it indoors in between uses.

Tips & Tricks

1. Store Inside

   When the weather is colder outside, you should store the hose inside to ensure a long lifespan.

2. Keep in Shade

   When the weather is warmer outside, keep it in a shaded area, perhaps in a garage or tool shed. While it can withstand exposure to extreme weather, even heat, you can provide a longer lifespan the more you protect it with little things like storing it in the shade.

3. Try to Avoid Sharp Objects

   While the hose is certainly protected against tears or punctures, you can ensure a longer lifespan if you avoid dragging it over things like sharp rocks, sharp gardening tools, and anything else sharp.

How it's Different from Competitors

The Pocket Bullet Hose is different from competitors insofar as you can store it in your pocket when not in use. Even if you tug it around your yard, throw it in a pile in a drawer, it won't kink. Compared to normal hoses, this one is flexible, moves around easily, won't tangle as you use it, snag on sharp objects, and expands then contracts during use making it easier to use or store.

Alternatives

• Pro Lawn Expandable Hose

  Pro lawn expandable water hose is similar in its appearance and construction. This hose has a triple latex inner tube to give it the protection it needs. Outside, it boasts similar brass fittings to keep water from leaking when you turn the hose on or off. Compact when not in use, lightweight all the time, and easy to handle, their expandable hose is so light that it weighs less than 2 pounds.
  
  This makes it simple to move around your yard, bring to the front or back yard, take on the road, keep on a boat, and more. Store it anywhere when not in use; it is so small it fits in your palm. The brass fittings are corrosion resistant.

• Flexable Bungee Hose

  The Flexible Bungee Hose is allegedly six times stronger than competing hoses. It functions in much the same way by expanding and contracting when full or void of water. Available in four different lengths including 25 feet, 50 feet, 75 feet, and 100 feet, this option has more variety. What's more, they have shown tests on their site where the hose lifts a 2000 pound car and remains more durable than competing brands.
