So how DO you curl up a hose the right way? I used to coil them, which can cause kinks. Now I lay the hose down in a figure 8 pattern, about 5 feet wide, laying each figure 8 over the last. It pulls out perfectly just about every time now, no kinks.My Grandpa taught me the same! He worked at the Ford Tractor plant in Detroit, and he could fix absolutely anything. One of my early memories of him was when I was 4 or 5, he taught me the right way to curl up a hose without twists or kinks (and made me show him I knew how to do it) because if you do it right, the hose can last a lifetime.
