Useful tip. I always fill a mug with hot water when I’m changing fittings on my hose and dip the end of the hose into the water for 30 seconds. Makes sliding the hose into the fitting much easier and I think the plastic teeth grip better too when the pipe is warm. Do the same when you’re removing your fittings too. Especially in winter when the hose is much colder and stiffer.
This is a the tip I've been watching the videos for. Was outside in the freezing cold trying to connect new fitting to hose pipe. Was not able to get the hose to slide on and this little tip is what I'll try next.
Hozelock's instructions were bad and they didn't have a video for the 2480 on their website. Thanks so much, Jimmy, Hozelock should get you to do all their videos!
I think they should....... over 50,000 views on this video now and all I get is a few pence off the adverts once a month 🤣🤣🤣 I'm glad it helped you out 👍
Hugely helpful, thank you! I couldn't make head nor tails of the very brief diagram on the packet, and this made it a straight forward and quick job :)
Fantastic video. Thank you so much. Been staring at the thing for weeks wondering what the hell do I do with all these bits 🤣🤣🤣 all together now, easy peasy...thank you x
😃Thanks Jimmy the Mower for the walkthrough, especially the tip about connecting the hose and checking for leaks inside the middle of the reel. I had to redo mine and now it's working perfectly. What looked like a marathon job was actually really easy.
Thanks so much for this video, I've been nagging my poor hubby to get a new hose for ages. I finally got one today and he just needed a little tip to finish assembly 😊
I purchased online a rather pricey metallic hose reel. The steel hose connector that came with it was a tight fit and the pipe to the tap would get twisted whenever I turned the reel. Your video gave me an idea to use the plastic connector which solved my problem. Thank you profoundly 🙏
Thank you for waking me up from a 5-day nightmare! It took me and the two men who just laid my turf a while to figure out that there was a part missing from the taped-on gubbins but at least I then knew what to go back to the shop and get and meanwhile the men got my sprinkler running direct from the tap. So then I was left on my own to set it all up and I was terrified to cut the hose in case I ruined the whole thing and I badly needed the whole length. I'm still not entirely sure what to do with the extension piece of hose I bought separately but I'll try using it to join the tap end to the side of the reel and that should avoid having to cut the hose after all. Also I'm left with a black washer, any ideas where that goes? I've no idea which packet of kit it came from. Your video is enjoyable to watch & your instructions magnificently clear, thank you, I'm thinking of printing a link to it and pasting it to every lamppost in Lincoln :)
Great video and yes so very useful! The written instructions that come with the hose pipe are abysmal and your demonstration was clear and easy to follow, even to explaining that there are two different sizes of tap head. Hozelock please take note.
Absolutely Fantastic video Jimmy the Mover. Very very informative, very clear, very well explained, with some real quality to do and not to do tips. Well done! Your a star. Many thanks
Jimmy, thanks for the superb advice mate. As I don’t have an outside tap with threads, I use a Hozelock screw adaptor on my kitchen tap, but as all snap together part sizes are standard, this will work with this particular model, and I just need to remember to cut a suitable length of pipe to reach from kitchen tap out of the window or back door, then onto the hosepipe device! It’s maybe 5 metres max. Thank you again for the excellent advice.
Thanks brother! Hozelock should drop you a sponsorship. Muxh better than the included sheet with the hose. Only tweak to the video i would give is that the ultramax has a spring from inside the tap end of the reel
Thankyou so much. Setting up mine and Daughter’s first home and garden this was a life saver for me… explained well and made my life so much easier! Of course it’s raining today so watering my new plants isn’t needed but now I’ll have no excuse for a mucky car lol take care (I’ve subscribed) x
Got the hozelock all set up thanks, but unfortunately my outside tap is to old, so have to get a new one fitted,, but all ready to go as soon as new tap installed..
Just got a like and sub from me, Jimmy! I bought this to replace an old Verve one which was tangled beyond all recognition and you couldn't wind in without it getting wrapped round the handle every 5 seconds! Saw your link on the review for this product on B&Q website and thought I'll watch that as these things can be a bit fiddly! Glad I did as got it all assembled and working in about 10 minutes. Thanks for the video mate, it was really useful and I'll be recommending people watch this on the reviews.
Wonderful vid - am going to order one of these, as it will cost us more in the long run to keep buying new Hozelock repair connectors for our old hose that keeps splitting and bending!
Planning on a warm summer when you get the hose demonstrations out mate 🙏 I don’t think these products are made like they used to be. I’m forever replacing my fittings.
Fingers crossed it is a hot dry summer. Touch wood, we haven't had any bother with fittings so far but we are getting through pressure washers like nobody's business
Super clear and helpful, great vid - thanks! Now off to go buy one. One question, I have a spray gun with a brass fixing, can you mix the fixings without leaking?
Yes the fixings should fit well together. However, you may have to change the rubber seals on the brass fittings over time. Good luck with it all. Jimmy 👍
Thank you for making this as simple as possible, the Hoselock guys should hire you for their own videos! Their instruction leaflet is almost impossible to follow. Take care and stay safe!
Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad you found the video useful. Maybe I should send all of these comments to Hozelock and see if they offer me a video contract 🤔 All the best Jimmy 👍
These are great hosepipes mare,I’ve got the 25 metres one but I’ve got the gun attachment on the end which is better,great review as always mate keep up your good work mate.👍👍
On my new one there is a long spring coming out from the hose connection point in the centre of the reel. I guess you just feed the hose over that spring
It maybe either faulty or you haven't pushed the nozzle attachment in far enough. Once it is pushed in and clicked then hold the collar firmly and twist the thin yellow end until water comes out 👍

Thanks mate, much appreciated. The instructions and diagrams on the packaging are pretty awful so this was really helpful.
That's why I make these videos, so much easier to see someone actually doing it.
Thanks for watching,
Jimmy 👍
I have an identical hose and the long hose kinks badly on the centre where it attaches in the inner connector. It's bound to burst at some point.
Completely agree - thank goodness for this video 😂
My pleasure 👍

Really useful and clear instructions. Much better than trying understand the small diagram on the packet. Thank you

Brilliant " how to video " thanks, Jimmy the mower best presenter I have found. I hope Hozelock support this channel.
I don't think the people at Hozelock have ever seen this yet. I'm glad you found it helpful though.
All the best,

So helpful, finally found the proper instruction video! Thanks a lot
My absolute pleasure, I'm so glad it helped.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video...finally we have a hose pipe that doesn't leak...
That's fantastic and exactly why I made the video. Thank you 👍
Thanks Jimmmy, hubby not feeling too good and your video helped me do this myself!!
Well that makes it all worthwhile, hope you and hubby have a great weekend.
Thanks for watching,

Thank you, I'm so glad it helped.

Thank you soooo much! This was so simple and helpful, they should be paying you for this their instructions were no help whatsoever!
If only they would pay me 😂😂
Thanks for watching and I'm glad it helped 👍
Great easy to follow and understand instructions, so much better than the instruction leaflet. I can now set mine up.
I'm glad it helped you, thanks for watching.

So spot on with the instructions you were. Big ups, Mr mower.

Thanks brother! Hozelock should drop you a sponsorship. Muxh better than the included sheet with the hose. Only tweak to the video i would give is that the ultramax has a spring from inside the tap end of the reel
Thanks for your kind words. There's a spring in the new ones.
So if Hozelock decide to send me a new one I will make another video 👍
Thank you so much!! I had no idea what to do and you made it look so simple. I'm so grateful!
My absolute pleasure, enjoy the summer 👍
Great video, really helped me and saved me a lot of time messing around with the parts. Thank you.
My absolute pleasure 👍
This hose is much better than the one I got in the box with mine 😮
I think there are different standards of hose.
However, for domestic use, even the thinnest of hoses from the hozelock range is more than adequate 👍
It was such clear step by step instructions..thank you so much!!
Thank you so much.
You are very kind 👍
Big thanks mate. You video make my job much easier.
Glad it helped 👍

Wonderful vid - am going to order one of these, as it will cost us more in the long run to keep buying new Hozelock repair connectors for our old hose that keeps splitting and bending!
These hoses certainly feel better than the older ones. That extra bit of strength down the sides makes all the difference 👍

On my new one there is a long spring coming out from the hose connection point in the centre of the reel. I guess you just feed the hose over that spring
Yes, you've got the upgraded version. That spring prevents the hose from kinking and going flat.
@@JimmyTheMower Top man, Jimmy. Many thanks and best wishes
Thank you for this!! Do you know if this will then attach to a pressure washer?
Yes, you can attach it to a pressure washer 👍
@@JimmyTheMower yeah all sorted, thank you pal
The stop hose end doesn’t allow water through for me
It maybe either faulty or you haven't pushed the nozzle attachment in far enough.
Once it is pushed in and clicked then hold the collar firmly and twist the thin yellow end until water comes out 👍
