Perfect Garden Hose (PGH)

My garden hose has become unmanageable between the kinks and leaks. I was searching the forum and noticed this topic has come up a number of times, so I'm sorry for the redundancy. Looking through reviews it looks like this Tuff Gaurd hose https://www.theperfectgardenhose.com/ may be a good option, but it is very pricey. Has anyone purchased this hose? One complaint that came up a few times was tearing where the brass connector meets the plastic so I'm a bit skeptical. Any other recommendations?

We just get one kind here; that green kind with a woven reinforcement. It's strong and lasts forever. You can get the thin kind for gardens and the thicker stronger kind for larger or more commercial application.

Wait here's a picture:

The PGH was not in our budget and the reviews made me leery. We ended up with this https://www.lowes.com/pd_6131-1596-8885- ... facetInfo=

So far it is WAY better than the hose we had! It's lighter, the connector is much sturdier, no leaks or kinks so far, although I'm sure with time and use we'll still get some kinks. So far so good though :)

I second the NeverKink. I have used it all year and have had no issues. I also think I'll buy another 100 footer next spring to replace one that's falling apart. Just make sure you follow the directions on the packaging so unravel it properly before the first use.
