Koil Kaddy^TM (patent pending)
The perfect home for your helically coiled hoses

A helically coiled hose is a wonderful garden aid. It can be extended up to 25 feet, or more, for use and then retracted to less than 3 feet. However, where do you store it? If left on the ground, it creates a tripping hazard. Also, if you want to move it to another location, it must be dragged along because its flexibility makes it difficult to pick up.

The garden supply people suggest a wall-mounted basket. Getting the hose into the basket is like wrestling a snake. They offer another solutions in the form of a staff projecting from the wall onto which the hose is threaded. With both devices, storage of the hose can be accomplished in only one pre-selected location. Further, when the hose is stored on either of these devices, the excess water within the hose must be drained previously or the handler may get wet!

In contrast, use of the Koil Kaddy^TM is a simple way to store - or move - the hose. while the hose is on the ground, simply thread the shaft through the coils of the hose until the end of the shaft protrudes from the opposite end of the coils to provide a handle. Then lift the Koil Kaddy^TM into a vertical position. This automatically drains out residual water. Then the hose and the Koil Kaddy^TM can be moved to any location for storage, whether it is another location in the garden, in the garage or in a storeroom someplace.

To remove the hose for use, just put the unit horizontally on the ground and withdraw the shaft from the hose coils.

This is such a simple solution to the storage of helically coiled hoses. Try it, you will like it. The Koil Kaddy^TM is availabel in kit form with very simple assembly instructions.
