Retractable Hose Raises the
Bar
I have seen a retractable hose before, but the Serpentes
King Cobra Hose far exceeds those other models in its quality. Take its
substantial brass fittings, for example. Both the supply end and the dispensing
end have very tough brass fittings, and the dispensing end includes a shut-off
valve. I’m sure this helps to relieve pressure from the 8 setting spray nozzle
included with the hose. Although the nozzle is plastic, it includes some nice
spray settings that are not available on my other nozzles. My favorite is the
shower setting, but it also provides others like mist, soaker, full, cone, flat,
angle, and center settings, allowing the King Cobra hose to address all sorts of
watering needs. But its retractability is what’s so cool. Like its name
suggests, this black, heavy-duty hose resembles a living reptile as it uncoils
when turned on and recoils when the water supply is turned off. I wish its
shut-off valve was located at the supply end; at 25’ long, the King Cobra has
its limits. If I could attach it to a longer hose, I could shut it off at the
connection and retract the Cobra in the area I’m using it. But I can deal with
that by adding a shut-off connection from another source
myself.
I give the Serpente King Cobra Expandable Hose with
Nozzle Five Stars for its quality construction and its versatile nozzle, that
built-in shut-off valve gets extra credit, too. It also deserves credit for
utilizing post-consumer recycled materials in its construction. This a fantastic
product.
I received this product as a free sample for evaluation
and review and am providing my honest and unbiased opinion. The vendor in no way
has influenced or edited my comments.
