Best Hose. Best Value. Buy it!

This is a great hose! It's also a great value. This hose is excellent for high water flow in any situation. A must have for low pressure situations, rain barrels, or anything else where you want water fast, due to it's large size. 3/4" hoses allow much more water flow with a minimum amount of pressure loss due to friction. In my opinion, anything less is inadequate, and a waste of your watering time. This hose seems to actually prevent kinking due to it's rigidity, which I like a lot. BEWARE: Many people would claim it's "hard to maneuver", but it's a necessary evil to REALLY prevent kinking. You'll have to deal with it and learn to love it. Other kink-free hoses prevent re-kinking in the same place, but don't actually prevent kinking. This one seems to prevent it totally (in most cases, of course). The female fittings are really heavy duty brass which swivel freely and smoothly, and the males look like semi-heavy duty zinc. Both are a unique, ergonomic design, and they feel and look like they'll last forever. The hose has reinforced striations longways which give it an octagonal shape. It does claim to be lead free and drinking water safe, although water from it tastes like hose when new. The Amazon report DOES NOT include that there is a lifetime warranty, but there IS- GREAT! You must keep the receipt and packaging and read the directions.
Random Info: A friend unknowingly parked my dump truck's two front tires on one of these hoses on my driveway for five days in 95+ degree weather, and after flattening it completely with tire marks included, the hose seemed to return to normal after pressurizing it for a day.

Finally - Someone made a hose that works and lasts

I live in the desert Southwest. Outdoor watering is necessary for me to have any kind of garden. Over the years, I have purchased many hoses. I have had to discard most of them within a year or two, until I purchased this hose.

First, the couplings are made of solid metal. They are cast bronze (brass) with a no-lead and low copper content. This is important because it means that the metal couplings are more sturdy, and, will stand up to attaching and de-attaching the hose to faucets, and, to accessories.

Second, the hose is kink-free. If you are watering with a fifteen foot hose, kinks are not really a problem. However, I often have to run hoses fifty or a hundred feet. One kink can double or triple the amount of time for me to move a watering hose to where it is needed.

Third, the hose itself is sturdy. I prefer rubber hoses, but, not when I have to drag them across the ground, bend them around pinyon trees and rocks, or, otherwise put them in the way of shredding from natural terrain. Rubber is just too soft for sharp desert rocks, coarsely barked trees, and, rock strewn ground. Although I disfavor polymers (plastics) in most products, a hose in one application in which plastic is more durable than its natural counterpart (rubber). Although kink-free, the polymer material in this hose has sufficient flexibility for all of my watering applications.

I purchased two of these fifty foot hoses and they have stood up to heavy use over a period of about a year.

If you are looking for similarly constructed, and durable, watering attachments, try the following for products that are built to work and last.
