Re: What type of hose!?
Another vote for the black craftsman hose. I have a 50' section already, and plan on getting a 25' section here soon. Great hose!

Re: What type of hose!?
So I have been looking at getting a polyurethane water hose.
- Light Weight, 3lbs per 50 foot of hose
- 150 PSI bursting strength
- Kink Free
- Will Work In Cold Temps
However they are not cheap and they normally are a smaller diameter 1/2 inch so this means increased water friction and less water flow. This is why I have not yet purchased one, but I think that I am going to take the leap and get one to try out.

Coiled will kill water pressure. I only use mine when needing to connect my pw without wheeling the pw around. It just doesnt work for nozzles

OK! so the craftsman hoses are popular. not something I am considering though. Remember small area to work. The coiled hose is what I am leaning towards. Pressure is a concern, but I do the initial spray off outside and then I would use the coiled hose for a rinse with the nozzle all the way open on a soaker setting. Should a coiled hose pressure be sufficient for that?

Hey there... I have a 75' black Craftsman hose. Was like $50, seems durable, and has nickel plated ends. BUT it's heavy and kind of a pain in the ass to work with. It still kinks, and it has a memory like crazy (coiling is a chore!).
I bought the 50' green flexzilla from amazon.com. Only used it once so far, but I'm happy with it because it's a LOT lighter and still seems durable.
Hope this helps.
