Been through maybe 4 in the last 15 years. The gardner damaged one was
only about a month old.

They even have real machined brass fittings... as far as I can remember,
the fittings were in good shape on all of them I returned.



4 hoses in 15 years??
Last year I replaced a hose that I bought 20 years ago. The hose spent the
last 14 years hanging on the side of the house.
I forget the brand, but I have a second one that is still like new.
