Abstract
A method of using a hose coupling device is disclosed. The device is an improved hose coupling that allows the hose to move more freely than a traditional coupling. The hose coupling device comprises a sleeve component with a female hose thread on one end and a male hose thread on the other end. The sleeve component further comprises a bearing above and below an O-ring water seal. The hose coupling component rotates independently from the hand nozzle component and eliminates the twist/kink of the hose when walking around spraying water.
