And, with a 100 foot reel, you don't have to worry about the coupler
leaking, half way into the bundle?

I remember liking my parents lifetime warranty Sears hose, when I was
growing up. In a case like you have, I'd probably buy a 100 foot length of
medium quality hose from Walmart, and expect to replace it in ten years or
so.

I have a Rapid Reel hose reel and it easily holds 100'. Most of the
time I use about 75' or so for watering on the side of the house or
washing two cars one in front of the other. With the reel, kinking
is not a big problem as it winds up without twisting.
