Water hose

[WindyCity]

I use to get the green non tangle from Home Depot but they would always break. I desided to spend the every money and get the black good year hose and I have had it 10x longer then the other hoses that Home Depot sells

+1 on goodyear hoses.......PLUS most importain they are made in the USA!

Get a rubber hose, plastic ones suck. Also rubber you can cut it and repair it if you put a hole in it or something. It is not that much more for a better hose and you won't have to keep buying hoses.

Hose reel get a rapid reel. They are $100 but you will never buy another piece of $hit plastic reel again. They don't leak and operate very smooth

I've also purchased a Craftsman Heavy Duty Rubber 5/8 hose at Sears. It's worked for me over the past 15 years. I added an Ames hose self tracking hose reel that I got a Home Depot. As long as it's above 32 degrees I'll wash my car. That also means I've destroyed a lot of hoses over the years because they froze and cracked. The Craftsman has never cracked and is reasonably flexible when it is cold.

Hi Guys,
Thought I bring you up to date on my hose. Went with a Sears 5/8" 100' rubber hose on a metal reel from Home Depot. $130 of pure happiness.

Very nice! Was that with the money you won from Foxwoods? :-)
How much was the hose reel? Just what I'm looking for.

Never been to Foxwoods we have gone to Mohegan Sun for an Office Xmas party but I like to spend my money on fun stuff that I can see not a building that is over 50 miles away

Hose was on Sale for 40$ and the reel was 90$ get it at Home Depot found one on line but for a lot more. The reel has a shelf on the top easy to install.

The pics remind me of those weight or hair loss comparison...pic 1, hose is a mess. pic 2, nice black hose and neatly organized. The hose hanger would help many hoses. I bought a roll around hose reel for my nice hose and I treat the hose a lot better too.

It's always good to treat your hose (hoes?) nicely from time to time.
