:iagree:

I have 3 of them for about 3 yrs now, they start to kink after a while but far from low quality- Heck of a lot better than some other hoses I'ved used at friends & families houses

Rubber is a better choice but kinda pricey.

I purchased the craftsman with lifetime warranty. Worked amazing until my latest project. 150ft air hose converted down to 125ft than made into a garden hose to fit on smaller reel to save room ! WHICH :righton:

I had 2 of these. They kink and needed replacement after 3 years. Get a 3/4" Gilmour with a life time unconditional guaranty. Just cut off both ends and mail them to Gilmour.

I have a couple of those (well, actually one of them is a 75'er) and they're great. I put an alert on slickdeals for them and picked them up super-cheap. Im the MAN

I have a few NeverKink hoses and work very well. Much better than Swan or any other big store brands.
