I also have the Sears black rubber hose. I use the 50ft. While it is a little heavier, it really does stand the test of time. It doesn't kink and it easy to maneuver.
I just called flexzilla on there garden hose. No help from them.
The male end is a swivel. so you have to have a wrench to hold there male end so you can tighten your sprayer. I also found that on there male end they don't have enough threads sticking out. When you tighten your sprayer down it hits the part that you put the wrench on son it doesnt tighten.
Out of allk the garden hoses I have purchased in my 65 years, I have never seen one with a swivel male end. ??? sorry to say I purchased these last fall and I don't have the receite anymore. I know that is the last product I will ever purchase from them .
So....last year I was walking through the store and did an impulse purchase of a pocket hose. I use this strictly for my CR spotless system and love it. Quick disconnects and its on and off. When I'm done, it shrinks down and I stuff into into the pocket holder which I have handing from the CR spotless unit. When I bought it, I think the max length was 75 feet.
I have a couple of types of hose I use. The working end, with the nozzle; and the supply end, attaches to the water spigot. I use this set up if the supply isn't close to the work area. My supply hose(s) are 3/4" flat wild-land fire type hose, I can keep 100' of it on a small extension cord reel- I have 200' of this hose. The "working" end I used to use the Pocket Hose type expanding hose. They work AWESOME - for a few uses then tear the fabric and burst. I would regularly keep the receipt and just return / exchange on a regular basis. That how much I like these hoses. This got old after a few times.....
Bit the bullet and picked up a 60' version. Quickly falling in love with it! It is fairly lightweight and does NOT kink! It will tangle up like any other, but when it's charged with water the potential kinks just roll out instead of staying kinked up. The hose will kink if purposely made to, but so far in normal use It really does not kink!
