I’ve reviewed and used two Pocket Hoses in the past few years and have liked how they are lightweight, don’t take up that much space, and are so much easier to move from place to place compared to traditional rubber garden hoses. The only problem with the Pocket Hoses that I’ve used in the past is that they don’t hold up for more than a year or so before they fail for some reason or another. The latest Pocket Hose that has been sent to me is the Pocket Hose Top Brass Bullet expanding garden hose. Weird name, yes. But is it sturdier than past Pocket Hoses? Let’s take a look.
What is it?
The Pocket Hose Top Brass Bullet is an expanding water hose that has a cloth-like outer casing and brass fittings on the ends. This particular hose even comes with a removable brass spray nozzle.
Design and features
I was sent the 50-foot long version of this hose. The Pocket Hose Top Brass Bullet is also available in lengths of 75 and 100 feet.
The only way I know of to describe the outer casing of this hose is that it is made of a heavy black knitted material that feels really strong, but stretchy. The covering does not have any seams that can tear or pop open from water pressure.
On each end of the hose is a brass fitting with a thick rubber strain relief sleeve.
The Top Brass Bullet hose also comes with a removable brass nozzle that has 3 spray options from a fine pinpoint to a fine miss and a full power spray.
Of course, if you prefer a nozzle with a squeeze grip, you can remove the freebie nozzle and add your own.
See it in action
Final thoughts
We’ve only been using this hose for a couple weeks, so this is more of an overview than a real review. That said, so far, the Pocket Hose Top Brass Bullet looks and feels like a higher quality hose than the other expanding hoses that I’ve reviewed.
I’ll do a review update after a full season of using the hose, but if my hunch is right, I think this hose will still be going strong when it comes time to store it for the winter later in the fall.
