Pocket Hose Did It Again.

“I've been part of the Pocket Hose family for over a decade. With Ballistic they've outdone themselves. It's incredibly tough, surprisingly lightweight, and so easy to handle. I love my new hose.”

Why Ballistic exists

Every hose you've owned failed the same way.

Rubber hoses weigh a ton and kink until you fight them. Cheap expandable hoses burst in one summer. Ballistic was engineered against both, from the sleeve to the spigot.

The old way

Heavy. Kinked. Leaking by August.

A 50 ft rubber hose weighs around 11 lbs before the water is in it. It creases at the spigot, drags across the lawn, and lives on a reel you have to crank. The cheap expandable knock-offs fixed the weight and traded it for a thin latex tube that pinholes, plastic fittings that crack, and a jacket that chalks in the sun.

The Ballistic way

Light. Kink-free. Practically bulletproof.

An anti-burst sleeve woven with a liquid-crystal polymer strand, the same material class as body armor, 5× stronger than steel by weight. Three layers of high-strength latex inside. Copper-infused, lead-free connectors with reinforced APT collars. A UV coat outside. And the 360° Pocket Pivot so nothing creases where the hose meets the tap.

How it works

Turn the water on. Watch it grow.

A Pocket Hose stores at about a third of its working length. Open the tap and water pressure expands it to full length and a full ¾-inch bore, with nothing to unreel.

01 · Turn it on

It grows 3× in seconds.

Water pressure does the work. 17 ft in the drawer becomes a full 50 ft power hose before you reach the garden.

Using the 10-pattern nozzle02 · Water anything

Ten patterns, one thumb.

Jet for the driveway, mist for the seedlings, shower for the dog. The Thumb Drive dial switches without letting go of the handle.

Hose shrinking back for storage03 · Turn it off

It drains itself and shrinks back.

Open the nozzle, let it drain, and it contracts practically bone-dry to pocket size. Hang it on a hook or drop it in a drawer.

“Finally a hose I can actually carry.”

I'm 71 and the old rubber hose was the worst part of my garden. This one weighs nothing, it doesn't kink at the faucet, and it goes back in the bucket by itself.

“Third Pocket Hose, first Ballistic. Big difference.”

The sleeve is noticeably tougher than my Copper Bullet and the swivel at the spigot fixes the one thing that used to bug me. Washed both cars and the RV with the 100 ft.

“I was skeptical. Bought a second one for the back.”

Expandable hoses had burned me before. This one has been out all summer in Texas sun with no leaks. The 10-pattern nozzle is better than the one I paid $30 for.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Will it burst?
Ballistic's anti-burst sleeve is woven with a liquid-crystal polymer strand 5× stronger than steel by weight, over a three-layer latex core, and rated to 650 PSI. That is far beyond what a household spigot produces. Like any hose, drain it and bring it in before a freeze.
Does it really reach 50 feet?
Yes. Every Pocket Hose expands to its full stated length under normal household water pressure. It stores at roughly a third of that length when the water is off, which is the whole point.
Will it kink at the spigot?
That's what the free Pocket Pivot solves. It swivels a full 360° where the hose meets the tap, so the hose never creases at its most vulnerable point.
Does it fit my spigot?
Yes. Standard ¾-inch garden hose threads, the same as every outdoor faucet, nozzle and sprinkler in the U.S. The new paddle-grip connectors make it easier to tighten with wet hands or gloves.
Is it safe to drink from?
Yes. The connectors are copper-infused and lead-free, and the hose is drinking-water safe for kids, pets and the vegetable garden.
How do I store it for winter?
Turn the water off, open the nozzle to release pressure, let it drain and it shrinks back practically bone-dry. Hang it on a hook or drop it in a drawer indoors. No reel required.
What comes in the box?
Your Ballistic hose plus two free gifts: the 360° Pocket Pivot swivel connector and the 10-Pattern Spray Nozzle with Thumb Drive control. Multi-packs include one of each per hose.
What's the guarantee?
The 30-Day Ballistic Promise. If you're not completely thrilled, send it back within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price or a replacement, less shipping and handling.
Is this the real Pocket Hose?
Yes. pockethose.com is the official store of Pocket Hose® by Telebrands, protected by over 100 U.S. and worldwide patents, the same hose Richard Karn has demonstrated on TV since 2013.
