That's right, Lew, and once you have bought one, you'll NEVER again

I suspect I am more familiar with this topic than you are -- and I had
_no_ problem whatsoever.


Ditto, it took considerably less than a week to find this out.
I guess Lew is more stubborn than we are, though that's awfully hard
to believe.


The blue plastic hoses from HF are just downright tormentatious. I'm
keeping these two 50-footers for OUTSIDE use.


However, I have not used that hose. Is it really that bad?


They have to be wound right handed. I'm a lefty and found that out the
hard way. They're stiffer than a Viagra Saturday Night but they'll
crimp and cut off the air in a second if you push them. Their only
saving grace is the beautiful blue color.
