Anyone else get suckered by these?

I was not aware that there was any difficulty hand rolling up a hose, of any kind. Since I was old enough to pick up an extension cord I have always looped it around my palm/elbow and its worked fine for me.

yep as long as a twisted knot making mess is your goal.

OK, FWIW I've been coilin' **** for 40 years. I bought a flexzilla for the ease of not having to coil. To me it's a scam.

“I’ve been coilin’ **** for 40 years”. That cracks me up! I have a 25’ flexilla that coils up “ok” with no pressure on it. When it’s full it won’t coil nicely. Like it’s got Peyronie’s disease. Glad I didn’t get the 50’.

The Flexzilla air hose from my experience will tangle, but it will not kink. It was never advertised to be tangle free in the first place. What I do have a problem with is the fittings. I used the new shop 3/4 air cat gun and it broke the fitting on the gun end and previously it was leaking and I had to tighten it a couple of times.

I use a flexzilla at work and I always disconnect mine when I’m done for the day and hook it on my cart. I don’t want someone rolling over it with a forklift or 40 ton crane.

Who doesn’t know how to roll up a hose or extension cord. That was my first job when i would work with my dad

I've had good luck with mine the trick is cooling it up right I have mine on the wall and find big loops are the best. My biggest gripe is the green gets Filthy and I cannot seem to clean it with regular brakleen and such..

Memory proof, tangle proof.

Suckered into click-bait titles... yes all the time

Problems with my Flexzilla, none. I've got 5+ H20 whips, several 2" air whips, and 50' air on that comes on the reel already. Love them all, aside from being the most dirt prone covering possible.

Any time I have a problem with a tangled cord or hose, I wonder why someone thought they had to be wound up tight enough to fit in a lunch box. I place cord storage hooks about 7 feet from the floor. There are very few loops to tangle when I hang a 50 foot cord or hose up.

Learn to roll

That hose is too big for my roller
