Abstract: An automatic rewind device with universal coupling for use with garden or lawn hose. As described herein, the rewind device includes two couplings connected by a spring-loaded cable. Each of the couplings are adapted to connect to one of a faucet or hose wand, lawn tool, or distant end of a hose. When the rewind device is installed, the couplings are connected to the faucet and hose wand so that a garden or lawn hose can be installed alongside the cable. In accordance with an embodiment the garden or lawn hose is a spiral hose, and the cable can be threaded through the spiral. To use the lawn hose, a gardener can pull on and extend the cable, which exerts a force on the spring. When finished, the gardener can press a button to release the spring and the rewind device then automatically retracts the hose toward the faucet. In this manner the hose can be conveniently retracted and stored, including in some instances left to hang from the faucet, for future use.
