I owned this hose until it broke. It kind of sucks. The twisting nozzle threads degraded and it became very difficult to adjust. There's also no way to spray with lower pressure aside from turning the spigot down, so when I wanted to water some loose soil or delicate plants it made a mess or knocked off flower petals. Eventually the hose tore and would spray water everywhere. I still like the concept of a long hose that shrinks for convenient storage. This one does everything the pocket hose does, but better.Teemu selling 75 ft hose for $17...while Home Depot sells 50ft hose for $36.
Same quality....are you still gonna buy it from HD?
The HD hose also made in China...but atleast HD gets a cut.
I really should use 50ft hose from Teemu as comparison, but I recently bought the $17 one...and it's pretty good.
The HD one I put it on another faucet. I thought this example as relevant, since I did have another 50ft hose from HD 3 years ago. It started leaking after less than 2 years....so if a hose only works for 1-2 years....then I'll just keep buying the cheaper one as a commodity.
It's now $29.98....deflation!Pocket Hose Silver Bullet 3/4 in. Dia x 50 ft. Lightweight Kink-Free Expandable Water Garden Hose 13397-6 - The Home Depot
