I am tired of buying Home Depot or Lowes hoses as they bend and twist. They also don't seem to rollup very well. There has to be softer hoses out there made of durable rubber or plastic.

Anyone have any ideas? What type of hose do you use?
 
I really like Gilmour Flexogen hoses, they are very durable and come with solid brass ends as opposed to the light-weight ends on most inexpensive hoses. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for, so while they may cost significantly more than other hoses, their quality is top notch. Using quick disconnects really makes the hose though, if you have a couple of nozzles and a foam gun, being able to quickly connect the needed nozzle is a great asset. Quick disconnects also help avoid kinks since it acts much like a swivel allowing the nozzle to spin and not turn the hose with it. Hope this information helps.
 
The best water hose to get is the Sears 100% rubber hose...no kinking..rolls up even..lifetime warranty ..does not get stiff in cooler weather...best money spent hands down..there are other rubber hoses out there also as good as the Craftsman hose..just Sears is closer and and they take them back if any problems no hassles

Mine is black and commercial grade, and I believe made by Goodyear. Must be 5 years old and still working great. Most come with lifetime warranties, but saving the receipt and info is unlikely after a year or two.
 
I have 2 Goodyear hoses that I bought at WalMart and they are very durable.

:iagree: :iagree: :iagree: It's the black one with "Craftsman" lettering. Last hose that you will ever need to spend money on. Sears will take it back with no hassle and no receipt. Not that you may ever have to do that. Mine is 7 years old and still looking great.
