Not a silver bullet (but a copper one)
A garden hose is one of those everyday items where, for whatever reason,n we’ve all just accepted that using it is going to be a reliably terrible experience.
It’s sort of like a home printer these days. You just know before you even get started that it’s going to be a headache.
Well, we can’t really help you on the printer thing (no one can), but we do have a solution to the classic slimy, bulky, heavy, kinked-up hose problem you’ve definitely encountered before.
This one coils up tightly when you’re not using it and then expands into its 50-feet of water-carrying glory when you turn it on. It’s less likely to kink, less likely to burst, and less likely to spray damn water all over the place because you didn’t get the sprayer screwed on quite right.
These are pretty deluxe and usually retail for quite a bit, but we’ve managed to put together an offer where you get two for the price of one. And yes…that does mean you should throw away your terrible current hoses when these arrive.
