Garden hose
"BillGill" wrote in message ... MiamiCuse wrote: I have two of the home depot variety "kink free" garden hoses. They are far from kink free, in fact they kink all the time when you stretch them out. 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 even a little bit. I think it's made of rubber. Are those better hoses than the modern day vinyl hoses? MC Same thing I have said before. Sears sells a life time warranted rubber hose. If anything ever goes wrong with it you take it back and they give you a new one. They are heavier, but it is worth it for the fact that when you pull a kink in one all you have to do is untwist it and the kink goes away. They cost more, I paid about $35 for my 70 foot one, but since I won't ever have to buy a replacement for it it is well worth the price. Bill I agree. I bought a heavy duty 100' rubber hose from sears many years ago and it still kink-free and in great shape. I use on of those free standing reels with a big crank from one of the big home improvement stores. It works pretty well winding neatly and the hose is enclosed which helps it's lifespan. I bought a few more 50' rubber hoses for the front yard and they are pretty good, but will kink on occasion. I attribute this to the crappy wall-mounted reel they are on more than the hose themselves. Once we get the furniture we are holding for my daughter out of the garage later this summer, I''' be able to put a better reel in the garage for these hoses. Jon |
