I need a 50 ft. hose for our back yard. Would it be better to buy two 25-ft. hoses and connecting them? I'm leery of having something go wrong and being stuck with a 50 ft. hose.

No the 50 ft hose would be best. Trust me, I bought this hose after being very disappointed with "medium duty" and heavy duty kink free hoses. This hose is far superior in many ways. It is lighter and most importantly wil not kink! The way the hose is designed its impossible for it to kink up. Once you get those hose youll better see what im talking about. Definitely if you want a light kink free hose buy the 50 ft. You will not regret it.

The company does have a replacement clause in their warranty. Keep your receipt. I wouldn't advise buying this hose at all though.... they fail at the connectors. If you buy two 25 foot hoses, the likelyhood of you having an issue is higher with four connectors that could fail. I had three 50 foot hoses, they were replaced several times, they all failed. I'd advise to buy something else other than this hose. It's a good idea, but not well made.

I say to go with the 50ft purchase. I wish I would've purchased the 50ft initially bit the 25ft has worked out just fine. The Tuff-Guard brand has been the best hose we've purchased thus far. No kinks at all and it coils nicely unlike your traditional hose, which can be a pain to put-away neatly!

Ur choice, its the strongest hose i have ever had. 2 is always better than one,..

Go with two 25 footers. If you ruin one end, you've only lost half of the hose.

Its not that bad, having both hose coonnection sizes, but it can be troublesome to get the last bit of water. I think it was a great purchase, but be warned, that much liquid weighs quite a bit.

While the Good Year is a good hose I find it to be difficult to "coil up" in order to hang it from hanger.. Good Year does also have a smaller diameter hose that would better suit the average homeowner do-it-yourselfer.. I've seen it at Lowes and HD..... The standard sized hose is in a box approx. 12"X13"X4" while the other is in a smaller box.. If you think you will need 50ft of hose DO NOT buy a 50fter!! Buy 2ea 25ft , they're easier to handle and IF YOU ever NEED 50ft you can connect them with the snap couplers.. The same holds true with the 50' or more, that you mentioned.. Buy 2 50's rather than the 100' hose.. EASE OF HANDELNG !! While the Good Year is a good hose I find it to be difficult to "coil up" in order to hang it from hanger..

A long one. I bought another hose as long as the one that came with it and put them together and there was no difference in the spray. My house is three and half a stories on a hill and I was all the way to the top with the two hoses coupled with no problem at all. This machine worked very well for me. One tip though, I bought the extended prayer tip and that was really necessary allows you not to move the ladder nearly as often.

In my experience, Hozons are tricky. I don't know about the length of the hose, but they clog up all the time. The current one worked twice. Also it never worked with my adjustable handle. I had to use a short one. I have a friend who has combined 2 and has a hose longer than 50 feet. Good luck. That's what you need with one of those.

I'm not certain if there is a diameter that is required or recommended, but I use a 3/8" diameter hose (50 ft.) and it works beautifully. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I believe I also had to separately purchase the parts to connect the hose to the compressor and nail guns (male and female ends). I ended up with a kit (found at Home Depot)that was more than needed, but figured it couldn't hurt to have a few extra parts and accessories just in case. The hose was around $30 and I believe the kit was $6-$8.

I purchased my hose in Home Depot, I is a regular BBQ hose with the regulator already attached, if I remember correct they offered 3 different kinds, a 3' a 5' and a dual connector. I purchased the 5' hose.

I have 150 feet of 5/8 hose on mine and it will hold another 50 feet nicely. I bought my first one at ollies and love it so much I bought 2 more through amazon.

Hi, I needed a 50', the 25' was too short. The 50' is perfect for us and I just used it for about a month now and I do like it 90% of the time. I use it once a week to water my garden plants and stretching it to 50' sometimes kinks when pulling it. But it doesn't stay kinked, it unravels and no damaging effect. I live in Hawaii and I have it sitting on a wooden box, in the shade on the concrete slab of our garage to keep it out of the sun for longer lasting after each use. I would highly recommend this product because the price was right and I believe it is a quality hose. Lastly, it has a lifetime warranty to beat all other hoses. I read another review and they had a exchange with no hassles. Can't beat that for lifetime. The color choice was greenish blue which to me is nice because I do not have dirt to drag the hose along and to get it dirty ... if not black would do for dirt ground. Hope this all helps...

You can get either length. I got the 25 ft. If I were using it as a garden hose I would suggest getting the 50ft.

any dealer can make a hose for you, I would not couple them together, but find the length you need and have a hose made for you

Yes (very slight), as the longer the hose, the more resistance and distance the water has to be pushed, however I doubt you would be able to discern the difference. I have a 25' and 50' hose and both work equally well. As a matter of fact, I never use my 25' hose at all any more.

I have the 50' GY, and it is a quality hose. I have also started using in the shop, the Kolbalt curled type hose, it is very flexible, even in cold weather, and has a Lifetime Warranty - under $15.00

A 16 gauge is good for up to 25'. Use 12 gauge for longer length. Make sure the connections are tight or snugged.

sorry i don't know. my hose is only 25 feet long and i only have two hoses.

75 feet means that the hose will expand to 75 feet. So a 50-foot hose will expand to a final length of 50 feet.

Also just an fyi, be careful with the hoses that have an elbow built-in, because many of them might have a 1/2 I.D. (3/4O.D.) hose, but then they make the actual elbow part with a smaller inside diameter, such as 3/8 which will restrict the flow of water right at that elbow and kinda defeating the whole point of having a larger inside diameter hose.. I personally just got the exact hose you had asked the question on, two 6 foot hoses and one 5 foot hose, both identical brands just different length and they work great. I actually just ordered another set right now to replace out my mother's old rubber hoses.. Let me know if you have any other questions, -Ken
