Garden hose

Best I have found is polyurethane garden hose from Eley. Definitely not cheap and I think they've doubled in price since I bought mine. It's the same material they use on in-line skates. I've had an Eley hose cart and hose for a few years and both are still holding up good. The 2nd runner up is Flexzilla brand. It doesn't kink very bad but it squirms around and sometimes pops out of a tank or positions itself so it starts spraying up and out of the tank. Both remain flexible in winter.
 
Good commercial hoses are somewhat kink resistant, but they are expensive!

Using a hose reel helps more than anything. Kinks occur because the hose gets twisted when laid down and pulled from a flat roll. If it comes off a reel it doesn't get twisted.
 
Flexilla works well for us. We've had ours a couple of years now, and I prefer them over the rest of the bunch (other than the black 75' that I can't identify). The black one must have been a commercial one when we got it 8 years ago, because it still works really well. It will kink if curled up, but it doesn't stay kinked. I guess you get what you pay for. steve
 
I buy the 3/4in Continental black rubber hoses, Made in USA. They will kink as you pull them to where you need to use occasionally. Worrying about a hose kinking is the least of my problems, I can work through it.
 
(quoted from post at 17:38:15 05/19/22) I have had those hoses that expand and contract with pressure. They don't kink.

No...they just break inside and squirt all over. I tried two of them. Never again :evil:
 
(quoted from post at 22:53:08 05/19/22) We bought some good Craftsman black rubber ones years ago, I think they're going to last us a lifetime! Sears sold some good products!
I've got a black Craftsman hose that I bought prior to 1972. Still good except for a few dog bites.
 
NO!
Actually I had a cheapie from the dollar store that performed better than my high end guaranteed not to kink from Sears!
