I don't remember the name, but I bought the 120 foot from Sam's Club 4-5
years ago. It has a lifetime guarantee and has functioned well to this
point.

I'm in the market for 2 50' garden hoses. Everything I've bought
before kinks and disappoints me as far as quality goes. (even a couple of
the "no kink" ones I've bought)

Can someone recommend a brand and/or model of hose that you have
actually owned, and which you would say exceeds expectations?

Thanks!

I have Goodyear hoses that I am very satisfied with. Things to look for:
heavy, big heavy brass fixtures; not those thin cheesy brass plated ones
that bend if you step on them; long guarantee; high price. I like the 50'
and 100', as that is for usually substantial projects, and for the cheapie
little water jobs here and there, the cheapie 25 footers for $10 work. But
you'll end up spending $20 replacing the hardware over the life of the hose.
So, might as well get a Goodyear 25'.

The Goodyears don't kink, either. Those little cheap ones will if folded
wrong, or if they get a kink from twisting. Storage affects life, and
hanging up helps a lot. Draining water out in the winter is a good thing,
too. DAMHIKT.
