I'm looking for new 8mm hose for hose reel,due to my current purefreedom hose is to stiff and difficult to use.
Any suggestions much appreciated

they are mostly similar , different prices around,

why minibore and not microbore?microbore is far easier to manage mate when you ve got 100m on your reel.i use the standard yellow gardiner stuff and its excellent.had it a few years.its good with hot water too.very hardwearing.

Hi daz my hose is 8mm external 5 mm internal it's tough as in you can drive over it is micro bore the same ?
 Is it flexible ? Does it kink ?  If it's flexible and doesn't kink and you can drive over it where can I buy it ?  Have you only used gardiners ? As my current purefreedom hose is doing my head in it kinks and loops  and it's stressing me out

stop away from the super weak genie hose we had to bin 2 rolls of it after only 10 weeks worth of work , gone back to yellow hose from garidners

it very rarely kinks and its much more manageable mate.my hose gets driven over hundred of times a month and its fine(bin lorries too!)

going from minibore to microbore is like going from a glass fibre pole to a carbon fibre pole.you ll never go back to 8mm hose.
