What goes better with your USA made nozzle? A USA made hose at Home Depot of course!

[Ricky Bobby]

Just picked up one of these last night in anticipation for my Dramm (the one Adam's used to sell, I ordered from Amazon) brass shut off valve, and my incoming USA made fire hose nozzle, still waiting on a message back from Nick on the ETA of the new version from Adam's, or I might just pick one of the old style LDM nozzles from one of the Adam's distributors, have not decided yet.

 

$28.97, Made in USA by Goodyear and believe it or not available at your local Home Depot (which has been stocking a decent amount of American made products in the past couple years I've noticed, you just have to look)

I have a 50 foot gray "commercial duty" hose from Costco which served me ok for 2 years but will be relegated to the shed as a spare, it does like to kink up and isn't as flexible as this Goodyear hose, looking forward to using it as it should be a breeze to roll up in my hose caddy I keep outside.

 

Thought I'd throw up a link in case anyone was in the market for a new hose as spring is here!

I have the same one. Going strong for three years....

I have two of those and two of the Goodyear hoses that Sears sells.  They have been outside for 3 years and still work fantastic!  Granted we don't get the freezing temps that many of you do but they do get 90 degree heat for 6 months of the year.

I have had one of these, left it behind when I sold a house. It was a great hose.

 

Another great hose made in the USA is the Gilmour Flexogen, also available at Home Depot. I have had one of these for over a decade both up north in the ice and now in Florida in the intense sun. Great hose that has taken a beating and is still in great working condition.

I have the same one too and it's been great

I have been using that combo since I recieved the Adam's nozzle. Love it.

WOW.

 

Amazing quality on those reels.

I've had Goodyear hoses at my hose since I moved in back in 2004.  None of them have failed yet, and I keep all of them but one, outside 365.

Really like the hose reel.  Does it tip over when pulling on the hose?

 

I purchased an Apex Neverkink hose from Home Depot.

The reel is called rapid reel by eley corp.   No it hasn't on me .You can get the 4 wheel setup if needed. Well worth the price paid .I got tired of replacing those cheap ones from HD and Wally world.
