re: Garden Hose Questions

I think I have a different type/brand hose on every outdoor spigot - 4. . By far, the Flexzilla hose Is the best of them. LINK. It can kink, but very seldom. Remains pliable in the dead of winter. Won’t keep that bright lime green color forever. Two other brands of non-kink hoses I have kink more often than the 1 non-kink hose I have. Now that I’m using hoses again with spring, I’m going to get a couple more Flexzilla’s - fed up with the other crap hoses.

I’m also done with plastic hose reels - break, constantly leak, fall over when in-winding hose off the reel, ..... Bought one of these a couple years ago, and I’m happy with it. LINK. Plan to buy another, and looking at other free standing metal hose reels options where I don’t want to wall mount. I know these are good, but $$$$.

ETA: Forgot to add the link for the $$$$ Eley hose reels LINK but I see others have noted their quality, and made in the USA as well. As the saying goes,”buy once, cry once”
