AWTools AW70281 is a lightweight expandable garden hose designed for routine watering and small irrigation tasks. The hose features a latex core and flexible outer layer that lets it expand up to three times its original length when water pressure is applied, and contract back to compact form when the water is turned off. The set includes the hose (6.5 m collapsed — up to 20 m expanded), two quick connectors, a tap adapter for 1/2"–3/4" taps and a 7-mode spray gun, providing a complete kit for lawn, bed and container watering.
Advantages
The AWTools AW70281 hose is lighter than standard garden hoses, weighing approximately 800 g, which makes handling and transport easier. Its expandable design reduces storage space and prevents kinks, twisting and bursting during normal use. A latex core combined with durable outer material ensures reliable water flow and leak-free connections when the included quick connectors and tap adapter are used. The 7-mode spray gun offers multiple spray patterns for different tasks, from soft misting to a concentrated jet.
Suitable for
- Watering lawns, flower beds and potted plants
- Small garden irrigation systems and seasonal use
- Car washing and exterior home cleaning
- Pet washing and rinsing outdoor equipment
- Temporary watering needs where compact storage is desired

How to use
Connect the tap adapter to a compatible outdoor faucet (1/2" or 3/4"), attach the quick connector to the tap adapter and then connect the hose. Slowly open the water to allow the hose to expand to its working length; avoid sudden full-pressure opening to reduce stress on connectors. Select the desired spray pattern on the 7-mode gun by rotating the nozzle head. After use, turn off the water, release any remaining water from the hose and allow it to contract before storing in a dry, shaded place.
Usage recommendations
For long service life, avoid leaving the hose under direct sunlight or connected to high-pressure sources for extended periods. Drain the hose before freezing temperatures occur and inspect quick connectors regularly for wear. Use the appropriate spray mode for the task to conserve water and reduce wear on the spray gun.
