Don't reels usually have a leader hose? Wouldn't that help, or maybe getting a longer leader? But anyway you cut it already which probably voids the warranty but hey at least it works--plus there's lots of testimonials from contractors using these and having them last years so don't think you really need to worry about the warranty anyway.

Attaching the flexzilla to the outlet on the reel with the plastic end piece makes it fold flat when not pressurized because it sticks out so much.

Example: see this reel
The attachment on the reel itself is the issue.

Don't buy the tape (https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/perm ... p.html#srp) if you have multiple cuts Do you have a link? I found this online: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/orbit- ... 1000121261

More concerned about longevity than price. Thanks.

I rolled it up, returned it to Home Depot, and walked out with two 50’ flexzillas instead! I’m a little too lazy to try to PM now but this is a pretty good deal. I think the hoses are definitely worth it.

For those looking at the expanding type hoses vs. This one, the flexzillas is better in a lot of ways, they will last longer, wont burst, and are better if you’re laying them out to use with a sprinkler since they wont retract. However, i still do have an expanding one because they’re so light and small, that my kids and wife like to use it to water the plants or just play with water so it is great for that.

All that being said i think the hoses are highly recommendable!
