Amflex makes "Lil Better" and many more options

What makes Joe's a little bit better is unclear.


GreenGlides sells Amflex as well .
Theres Nothing makes joes hose special or better and the price is much higher too. Ive been buying Amflex hoses direct from Amflex for about 30 years as far as im concerned they make the highest quality most flexible and longest lasting hoses on the market period. Joe just buys in bulk rebrands marks up . There is i think 2 or 3 different types of hoses available. You can buy directly from them .im not sure what the minimum order amount is. When im purchasing I buy custom colors,and large quantities. Last order i wanted lime green solid (no black indented outer ring) because it was a special run i had extra made

I think and old fart with severe cataracts would have a hard time not seeing mine. They stand out wherever they lay, even stand out stretched out across grass

How much hose did u use for this job . Thank you jz
I carry 250' first hose on reel is 75' and that's all i need generally if i go to 125' i 4 to the door 2- 50s and my single 75 .if i need more i 4 to the door 2 75's and go 100 with my 2 50s that only happens about once or twice a year. And when all the hoses a are off the reel i rotate um so all hoses wear evenly. So i know its done, what ive done is use a sharpie i marked all the hose cuffs 75/1, 75/2, 50/1 &50/2 and rotate them in pairs for instance #2s are the first off the reel now so the hoses are on the reel as 75/2,50/2,50/1,75/1. Having the cuffs clearly marked makes it effortless to run hoses thru the hoser and get on the reel in the proper order. Which could be a problem with 2 different sizes. Now after all that hot air, the answer to your question is 125' 2-50s four to the door and a 75'

I have it but never purchased it .Greenie was Kool with me. I have what I believe are the first kleen rite snap in 3 inch upholsery glides .1 was hole the other was straight slot.He gave me about 20 greenglides dog tags and also one of the first. Or so I believe 10 inch green glides for the butler wand.I gave him measurements. An also bought some modeling clay. Then stuck the lip orifice into it. So he was able to fabricate it better. Never paid for any,kind of like a beta tester. It was ok ,but i hated the bulbous front.I like to get close to baseboards. Could not do it.Then I drilled my hole's.About 2 sizes bigger.Later still unhappy,I took the drill and simply slotted it out.This is when Lisa and him were still married.Pre harris lawsuit ,I think? But Jeff never billed me ,just wanted my opinion .Im glide years later Mikey took it all further. But to this day.I still think the front is too big. But that so called cobra hose (kool name) .I also saw a few times at carwash vacuums. The vacuum's has a 2 inch barb ,but the plastic claw vac was smaller fitting. Think they only make 2 or 1/4 inch? but thanks Dwain you brought back some good ol memories. If any one would like one of the original dog tag's.I can mail em. In fact if Mike needs the 3 inch kleen rite glide. I can send that to him ? They sit here getting dusty. Regard's stay safe all...
