Does the hose lock at any length?

Yes. The hose locker holds the hose where you stop pulling, so you can water at short or full extension.

What is the 5/8 in hose good for?

The larger diameter carries more water than 1/2 in hoses, so filling cans and watering large beds goes faster.

It needs a solid fixing point. Mount it to studs, masonry or a sturdy post rather than loose siding.

The included nozzle has 9 spray patterns, from a fine mist to a concentrated jet.

It works, but 65 ft is more reach than a small yard needs. A shorter reel would be lighter to handle.
