Default Garden hose

I have two of the home depot variety "kink free" garden hoses. *They are far

When you roll them back up you have to keep flipping the hose the right way
so it won't kink.

However, I have a very old hose probably more than 15 years I found in this
garage and it never kinks. *It does not kink because it does not flatten not

I have had quality ones, cheap ones and medium ones. All kinked and
once kinked, always kinked. My solution?

The yellow ell cheapos (I get 'em at Wal Mart). Yes they kink but are
easily unkinked, usually just by walking down them and kicking them.
They also don't kink in the same places. About the same amoutn of
kinks as a heavy duty one but the fooling around unkinking beats them
hands down.
