My garden hose is starting to rip in alot of places and I think soon it will be time for a new one. I had a contractor neverkink and well...it did kink alot. I need 100ft and made in usa are really my only prerequisites. The main factor is really having it not kink.
 
Sears craftsman black rubber. Love mine. I do believe they make 100ft.

Theres a couple of models, and ag might warm me about posting stuff on here that violates the rules, any way to show me?
 
I have been using the NeverKink Contractor grade hoses. Found lots of places. ~$60 for 100' hose. Been holding up awesome for years.

have the same one I think. Black a yellow color. I saw a new one thats red and blue and is a different material, almost like a vinyl
 
i've been using the black rubber hose from sears for over 2+ years. I bought these because at my previous house the water pressure was too high and any other type of hose that wasn't rubber would burst and with these they've been great thus far. iirc, I have the 75ft...
 
I have a flexzilla garden hose and i have only used it maybe 5 times so far but i really like it
 
I also have the Sears black rubber hose. I use the 50ft. While it is a little heavier, it really does stand the test of time. It doesn't kink and it easy to maneuver.
 
Flexzilla! Very flexible even when cold. It rarely will kink but they pop right out like you can't imagine
 
I have two Never Kinks (one sold at Lowes and HD) but they still kink.
 
I just called flexzilla on there garden hose. No help from them.
The male end is a swivel. so you have to have a wrench to hold there male end so you can tighten your sprayer. I also found that on there male end they don't have enough threads sticking out. When you tighten your sprayer down it hits the part that you put the wrench on son it doesnt tighten.
Out of allk the garden hoses I have purchased in my 65 years, I have never seen one with a swivel male end. ??? sorry to say I purchased these last fall and I don't have the receite anymore. I know that is the last product I will ever purchase from them .
 
So....last year I was walking through the store and did an impulse purchase of a pocket hose. I use this strictly for my CR spotless system and love it. Quick disconnects and its on and off. When I'm done, it shrinks down and I stuff into into the pocket holder which I have handing from the CR spotless unit. When I bought it, I think the max length was 75 feet.
 
I have a couple of types of hose I use. The working end, with the nozzle; and the supply end, attaches to the water spigot. I use this set up if the supply isn't close to the work area. My supply hose(s) are 3/4" flat wild-land fire type hose, I can keep 100' of it on a small extension cord reel- I have 200' of this hose. The "working" end I used to use the Pocket Hose type expanding hose. They work AWESOME - for a few uses then tear the fabric and burst. I would regularly keep the receipt and just return / exchange on a regular basis. That how much I like these hoses. This got old after a few times.....

Bit the bullet and picked up a 60' version. Quickly falling in love with it! It is fairly lightweight and does NOT kink! It will tangle up like any other, but when it's charged with water the potential kinks just roll out instead of staying kinked up. The hose will kink if purposely made to, but so far in normal use It really does not kink!
