If you’re after an efficient hose for your garden, yard, driveway or boat that isn’t a faff to roll up then stop right here. This hosepipe uses no harmful materials which means it is safe for humans to drink (not sure why you would drink from a hose but good to know), plus it’s guaranteed for up to 5 years so you can be sure you’ll get great use out of it. What are the alternatives to the YoYo Self-Extending Hose Pipe? Made from a combination of Dura-Tech PVC for high-pressure burst resistance up to a magnificent 40 bar and woven textile outer sheath for flexibility and long-lasting durability, the Tuffhoze is available in four lengths – 12.5m, 25m and 35m – and has a diameter of 18mm. However, we’ve read some reports that suggest the hose is not suitable for use with pressure washers because the fitted Aquastop adaptors restrict the flow of water. Perhaps opt for the new uprated version with chunky plastic connectors instead of the more readily available model with metal connectors. How to choose the best garden hose for your needs Pipes and hoses, profiles, fittings and accessories for the construction industry, dedicated to the flow of fluids and the installation of cables, for various applications, such as rainwater and sanitary water drainage Flexible and spiral hoses for the delivery and suction of liquids and food for human consumption, such as drinking water, milk, wine, beer, spirits, jam, ice cream, cheese and fruit

As the moniker suggests, this hose is tough as nails and perfect for anyone who treats their garden gear with little respect. The Tuffhoze is said to be 50% lighter than a normal hose, is kink free, easy to manoeuvre and equipped with crimped-on high-end connectors for zero leaking.

Length is usually the buyer’s main concern. If you have a very small patio with a few scattered flowerpots, then consider a length of around five metres. But if you have a substantial lawn to water then go for one in excess of 20 metres. Obviously, the longer the hose the more hassle it will be to roll it up and store it. Unless, of course, you invest in an automatic hose box feeder – something we wholeheartedly recommend – which winds the hose up on its own. Without getting too fetishistic, this bright red hose’s Technopolymer structure has a wondrously soft rubbery texture that feels great in the hand. Its lightness when empty is a massive bonus when it comes time to wrap it up and this reviewer experienced no tangles or twisting when using it. The YoYo measures 9mm in diameter which is smaller than others but it accept all standard hose fittings.

We also love that it’s so compact without a box, making it ideal for taking on the go such as on camping trips or caravanning holidays.Hoses for camping, watering ornamental gardens, terraces and vegetable gardens, washing cars, bicycles and pets
