I threw out 2 old garden hoses we had for years. They leaked and kinked and pissed me off when I washed the car. Anybody know of a good replacement?

I like the coiled hoses, found mine at Walmart. It's bright green and comes with an adjustable spray nozzle. They don't exactly spool up nicely for storage but they stay unkinked and extend quite far (like the old school coiled telephone lines before everyone had wireless handsets and cell phones).

CHEAP garden hoses break up. If you want a garden hose to last, you are going to spend closer to a hundred dollars than ten. My dad has a hose if it wasn't $100 it was at least $70. He left it pressurized and in the sun year round, and finally submitted the damaged section and an end to the company for a free replacement under warranty, after a DECADE.



You are going to spend the money. You might as well spend it all at once and have the satisfaction of a hose that doesn't kink, tear, or split.

Ames garden hose, the kind that reels in. I have two and they're superb. Google it.
