Nice coupling, last longer, no leaks, just generally nice all round.

microbore all the way - if you ever have a go back on the garden hose stuff you can notice the difference big time - heavy , snags more , connecters leak , pipe is less robust to.


you get more on a hose reel anyway

Do ppl still use 1/2" hose???

The difference is huge,.. leave the garden hose in the garden and get some mini or micro bore NOW!!

yeah sorry i do :(  Although im saving for the gardiners thermobore hose, and will be switching.

No point using normal micro/mini if it bursts with hot water, like ive read alot by other members.

forgot to say -1/2 inch all the way when cleaning UPVC , conseratory roofs , you need the higher flow rate .
Save Microbore just for the windows - Ive found out the hard way , when trying to use my microbore on a upvc  job and spent the whole day swearing as it takes ten times longer .
