Forget about using a hose hanger, and just coil the hose in a figure-8
on the ground so the twists alternate and the hose won't kink.

Those Sears black rubber hoses are very tough and should last about
forever, provided they have machined brass fittings rather than
stamped steel ones.

I concur on both the Fig'8' stowage method, and the Sears black rubber
lifetime guarantee hoses.

If you have the room, the Fig '8' is the only way to go, other than
using reels. When you first get a new hose, first roll it out full
length, being sure to remove any linear twists. Then coil it down in the
Fig 8 pattern, and it will pull out cleanly and kink free anytime, and
any direction you wish. This doesn't work well with cheap plastic hose,
as they're too stiff, especially on cooler days.

Rubber hoses lay down nicely, and work well with both the Fig 8, and
reels. However, most kink fairly easy if just coiled up in one direction
either on the ground, or over hangers.

The Sears black rubber hoses rock... I'm on my fourth in the back yard.
All were gardner lawnmower/hose incidents, and cheerfully replaced under
the lifetime warranty. (No receipt required!) The one in my front yard
is on a reel, and is at least 15 years old, and still going strong.

With any hose, rubber or otherwise, if it doesn't have machined brass
fittings, avoid dropping the end with a nozzle or whatever attached. If
you do, those delicate stamped sheet metal fittings crack in the bottom
of the threads, and will forever after dribble all over your legs and
feet. Also, don't step on, or drive over those fittings...

Machined brass replacement fittings, both male and female can be bought
at most any garden center, are cheap, reusable and work extremely well.
(Get the type that use screw type clamps.) However, installing them on a
Sears lifetime hose will probably void the warranty... but Sears will
replace dribblers anyway. Note that so far all my Sears lifetime hoses
have had machined fittings, but I've heard some don't... (Some cheap
plastic hoses have linear 'ribs' in their inner walls, that make fitting
replacement awkward.)
