I may be needing another 200 or so feet of garden hose for a

for use during the day.

Should I buy the cheap $7.97 lengths of 50 feet from
Walmart, or get the braided nylon good stuff for 14.97?
The expensive stuff means
more credit card debt.

If you need it to last forever, really run up the credit card debt and
buy Sears Craftsman Rubber Hose. They will replace it forever, just
like the tools

We have tons of everyday commercially hard used Craftsman tools
(including hoses), and do warranty exchanges on the broken ones
sometimes weekly. Did all that buying nonsense back in the early 70's...
the Craftsman warranty has been a great value for us.

However, I'm becoming concerned that Sears might not be around much
longer. There is never anyone in the store anymore, and the
price/quality points of their other goods is 'amazing'.
