QUESTION OF THE DAY: Are you willing to spend a little more for a high quality garden hose with a lifetime warranty? What's your favorite garden hose so far?
Great review, liked the bucket test and the heads up on tangle challenge. I bought a grey standard commercial hose at HD and it sucks. I need it's stiffness for emptying big pool, but for me the best all around hose is definitely this one, especially as an exterior home cleaner. Thank you
I have a 50' and it certainly seems very durable but the best feature for me is that it needs very little space. I just ordered a 75' to add on so I can reach my whole yard. I had to have a giant hose reel to accommodate my previous 125' hose. Not so with these hoses.
Mine is not the PRO. It comes red instead and round. The fittings are not that bad. It comes with a quick connect and nozzle. The nozzle is pretty cheesy. The hose is great though. That quick connect doesn't fit anything I have. I have nice brass ones for my pressure washer anyway. I bought it to wash my car. It's very gentle if it rubs up against the paint. I also use it to extend my lawn sprinkler. Does great for that too. The non-pro was $40 at Lowe's. 🐀🐾
I'll take a look for one the next time I'm in Lowes. I was just using this hose the other day with my pressure washer. It's still going strong and I was looking at the ends, noticing that it's well built. FYI- I was using it at a commercial building with 65psi and the hose has no issues. I've actually had a couple other brands fail with that much psi over time.
I have 2 of them 50ft and 100ft you forgot the best part repairing it if you ever Break it the end unscrews and the fitting comes off and can be put back on past the damage and still have a professional looking repaired end without having to go to the big box store to get the God awful looking and working repair kit
The hybrid style hose is very nice when they work. I did a 3 year update on the Zero G recently saying how much I like it and that it's my favorite of all time. Time will tell if this becomes my favorite. So far, I really like it after using it a month.
They do make 100 ft. I just bought it yesterday at my local Home Depot. I now have the 50 ft for the front of the house and the 100ft for the back yard. Paid about $70 for the 100ft
I apologize, but I cannot imagine who would like this hose. It is impossible. It kinks at every turn (nice pun!), and it hated to be coiled, once the task was completed. When I return things, I always repackage them carefully for the returns people. This thing went back in a garbage bag in one hand, and its pristine box with three-hour-old receipt in the other. In short, this hose is great in its box on the store shelf - right where it should stay.
This hose still works well and is a good choice. What I like about the Zero G is that it never kinks, stores easy, and has a nice outer sleeve made of a nylon type material.
@@MarkThomasBuilder ....thank you for the response! Does the Fitt Force Pro kink up very often? Also, can you use these flat hoses when partially coiled up?
Hi, great video. Has anybody tried this hose in a low pressure situation such as rainwater tank? I connected this to my rainwater tank - no pump - and I don't get any water coming through the hose. Any thoughts? Thank you.
I wouldn't think this would work for that type of situation. There's a Swan brand hose that has a Xflex filament inside it that might be worth looking at.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thank you for the prompt response. I have been using a leader hose that has worked very well. I wanted a longer one and purchased this. Thank you.
This hose works well to supply the pressure washer. If I'm understanding your question correctly, it's not a hose meant to go from the pressure washer to the spray wand.
Yes, it's still holding up. I don't use it as often as my other ones, but it's still a good option. My daily use for watering plants is the Zero G blue hose that's 25' long. The FItt Force is smooth and doesn't pick up as much dirt and mulch when dragging it aound. Hope that helps!

Is this hose still working well for you?
yep, one week review 3 years ago. Is it still recommended? Thinking of buying one.@@samd1405

Glad to help, thanks.
Thank you for your review … buying one here at my local home depot , I’ll keep you posted … new subscriber
Thanks for stopping by and subscribing. I was just using this hose recently and it's still going strong.
Great review thanks.
Thanks for watching!

There's a lot of great thing to say about the Fitt Force hose. I like the compact storage too.
Thank you very much. Very useful
You are welcome!
I have had the best luck with the steel braided hose
Sounds interesting. I haven't tried that style yet.

First....I just bought this hose today at Home Depot....$44
Awesome, that’s the lowest price I’ve seen it yet.
Nice I'll pick one up
Good job
Thanks, let me know how it works out for you!
I have 2 of them 50ft and 100ft you forgot the best part repairing it if you ever Break it the end unscrews and the fitting comes off and can be put back on past the damage and still have a professional looking repaired end without having to go to the big box store to get the God awful looking and working repair kit
Thanks for sharing! Mine is still working well.
I like your car from the beginning of the video
Thanks, it's makes driving more fun.
Interesting: 100' "Fitt HiFlo" is $64 at Walmart 6/1/24 and has a 10 year warranty.
Your newest hose always seems to be the favorite, watching your review videos over time. Is it because it's new vs. being the best?

Cool, that's good to know. Thanks for sharing. I like a 75 or 100' for around the yard.
Great review just seen n after I went to Home Depot to get one. 100ft
100' seems like a great size to get. The smooth hose should drag through the lawn fairly well.
@@MarkThomasBuilder yes it does I can’t stop watering my plants n lawn hahahaha

Hi Mark, great gardening hose and congratulations for the video! Do you know where coupling and sprayers are avaiable? Thanks for your help
Thank you! What type of sprayer are you looking for?

you didnt mention how you can cut a damaged portion and reapply the fasteners to the ends.
Oh, sorry about that. I though I mentioned that it's not repairable, which is unfortunate.
I notice in multiple places you say you prefer the Zero G to the Fitt Force Pro for everyday use. Could you elaborate on why?
This hose still works well and is a good choice. What I like about the Zero G is that it never kinks, stores easy, and has a nice outer sleeve made of a nylon type material.
@@MarkThomasBuilder ....thank you for the response! Does the Fitt Force Pro kink up very often? Also, can you use these flat hoses when partially coiled up?
I recently bought one but the attachment to the spigot leaks between the threaded part and the space? Not sure why that is, it’s brand new
I'd say it's worth exchanging and see if the next one works. I've had good luck with mine.
Does it still work
Yes, and I even use it at my work that has 65psi water pressure.
Long-term review on this bad boy?
It's a good hose. I seem to use the Zero G the most, but this one's good too.

@@MarkThomasBuilder Thank you for the prompt response. I have been using a leader hose that has worked very well. I wanted a longer one and purchased this. Thank you.
Can I use this hose with a pressure washer 4000 psi ? Thanks
This hose works well to supply the pressure washer. If I'm understanding your question correctly, it's not a hose meant to go from the pressure washer to the spray wand.
@@MarkThomasBuilder thank a lot good for me have a good day
@@gustavomendez5348 Thanks man, you too👊
Hey Mark, Is the hose still okay a year later?
Yes, it's still holding up. I don't use it as often as my other ones, but it's still a good option. My daily use for watering plants is the Zero G blue hose that's 25' long. The FItt Force is smooth and doesn't pick up as much dirt and mulch when dragging it aound. Hope that helps!
Thanks Mark. Much appreciated
I just bought this hose and all it does is kink and twist. Terrible! I’m into my 4th year with a Zero G that still works great.
Zero G is my favorite. If you have really good water pressure, this Fitt Force is a nice 2nd option.

I'm in the market for a hose like this are you still using it?
I'm still using it, but I prefer the ZeroG for the everyday one.
@@MarkThomasBuilder is it the regular zero g or the pro model
I use the regular one the most. When I'm running my pressure washer, I go with the pro, mainly because it's longer and reaches more places.
@@MarkThomasBuilder ok thank you
👍
You mean the hoses we drank out of as children decades ago WEREN'T drinking safe??
I know right?? 🤷♂️
This hose is trash once the back end loosens up it’s impossible to tighten back up & the hose is useless
Mine is still going strong. I wish all hoses were repairable, but many are not.
