In the past I have bought two cheap hoses that are now broken and cut up. One hose was a gimick flat hose that failed when under pressure and sitting in the sun. The other hose got left draped over the fence for a week in the August sun and it fused together where it was kinked over the fence. I attempted a repair of my kinked and fused hose with the replacement fittings but they never worked well.
Now I need a new hose to water the lawn I am trying to start again. While I love the idea of the expanding hoses all the reviews and comments I hear on them is they suck.
The two main uses I will have are watering the lawn and filling a kiddie pool. I will never need more than 50'. I may water the back lawn as much as weekly or bi-weekly as I try to get new grass going. I've never watered the front lawn and it has looked great all 7 years I lived here.
As often as I say I won't buy cheap tools again I have a hard time paying over $40 for a garden hose. Am I being stupid? Why are these things so expensive? There are very few exceptions where I don't take reasonably good care of my tools.
