Flexon Flextreme Contractor Grade Hose, 30m (100ft) 5/8 in, Garden Hose

It hasn't kinked yet. It has large grips in the ends which make it easier to tighten. That being said; I have only had it a week.

Heavy duty, last a long time, lays out in 110+ degree weather and also down to the 30s. Handles the weather. Only started to kink up after 4+ years. I am currently using five of them.

Burst within 1 week and they won't replace

The hose is not supposed to kink. We took it out of the package, tried to attach it to the water, hose would not manoeuver so that we could attach it properly, nor could we roll it up onto the hose holder. Then we took it off the water outlet, and attempted to roll it back up to send it back. Oh My God! Impossible to roll it back up because of the kinks. It was actually flattened in spots and would not conform to being rolled. And the worst part was, I have to pay to send it back!!!! And they won't accept it if it is out of the actual packaging!!! What! Do not buy this hose!!

When it came coiled up it had 2 kinks in it already. When I unfurled it I ended up with 1 more kink and it seems that it now constantly kinks in those two places. The other is at nozzle end and is connected to the faucet. I like the plastic covers at the ends of the hose to help with undoing from faucet, they work really well. It is heavy compared to my other hose that is Yard Works from Canadian Tire (same length and diameter). It is thick and durable and blends with my lawn better for leaving out and staying connected to my black berries soaker hose which I like.
