The Ray Padula MagicFlex PRO duty expanding garden hose is a great alternative to traditional heavy weight garden hoses! MagicFlex hoses magically expand from a small size to a full length hose with the turn of the faucet. Simply turn on the water, and watch the hose grow right before your eyes. When watering is complete, and water flow is turned off, the hose retracts back to a small, compact size.
