Inlet and Garden Hose Upgrade Kit Obsessed Garage

Let’s talk about the best garden hose on the planet. Around 2010, we moved into our first “nice” home. While thinking about my plans for my pressure washer setup, I knew I wanted a super legit garden hose. It did take me some time to find it but it was well worth the chase.

During my hunt to find this hose, I eventually found the manufacturer and worked with them to make this improved version. Since I’m always using quick disconnects, you don’t need a swivel on this hose. The QDs naturally swivel. Another great feature that is a requirement for all of my hoses is that they don’t kink easily. Garden hoses that kink can lead to cracks and leaks which will impede the flow of water. Exactly what we don’t want. 

Although my hose never failed, I’ve found the banding used in the swivel fitting to leak at times. We don’t want that. This hose uses the standard (in the US) ¾” GHT connections. The ends now have a very stout brass crimp-on ferrule for better fitment.

The end result is what I believe to be the number-one garden hose you’ll want to own. A few add-on accessories that will work best with this hose is our ultimate hose nozzle and our brass inlet adapter – the adapter is used to replace your stock plastic adapter which is found on most pressure washer inlets.
