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!

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.

the polyurethane is something I have looked at as well. Anybody used one?

I have a durability question about the black craftsman hose....when using only hot water?

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

Sears.com

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.
