Teknor Apex 4001-50 Zero-g Kink Resistant Garden Hose, 5/8" X 50', Black (Pack of 2)

So far so good. I've had this hose a little over a month, but I use it almost daily. It has been a great purchase - so far. We'll see how long it lasts.

I have 4 of the Zero Hoses over the past 4 years and each has failed for one or two reasons. The first is the house pressure or street pressure is too high. 99 percent of most homeowners do not know their street or inside house pressure as well as the outside hose pressure which causes the problem. These hoses are rated for 50 to 75 pounds, whereas some homes have house street pressure as high as 125 to 165 pounds pressure. Almost twice what the hoses are rated. 99 percent of homeowners do not know they have a pressure relief valve to control the street pressure, plus quite often they fail and your house pressure goes up to the street pressure that 125 to 165 or high with surgeries. When that happened other pipes and hoses fail, like washer machines or dishwashers. Back repair the HOSES, go to HD or Lowes, and purchase a hose clamp and a female-to-male fitting or male-to-male fitting whichever end had come apart. Make sure you clamp both the rubber and the fabric together with the clamp, otherwise, it will come apart. The strength in the hose is the two pieces together. Cost less than $6.00. Tools needed a sharp knife and a screwdriver. Guys if you have trouble ask your wife to help.

This hose is heavy duty and very strong. I found the same hose at Lowes for the same price, so the delivery at same cost is awesome.

I have this hose for use on a balcony porch. It is very light and that is why I bought it. The only problem is that it crimps very easily. It also un-crimps easily so I can live with that.

it work

I have had great experiences with this brand but I’m fairly certain that they introduced products before they were proven, and this may have been one. Not only is it an odd and seemingly discontinued length (and color), but the connection doesn’t rotate independently of the hose itself…WTF?! Do hose engineers not get paid enough?

Sturdy. Easy to handle. Easy to store.

This hose is like a mini fire hose. I am using it at a horse farm to clean and fill water buckets. It is lighter than the heavy-duty rubber hoses and maneuvers better over the lower half of the stalls' Dutch doors. I store it in a clean muck bucket that I drilled holes in the bottom of for water to drain out. It is easy to transport in my muck bucket, and requires little space to store away. The drawback for me is that in order to use it, the water needs to be turned on with enough pressure to completely fill the hose (usually full blast), then you have to make sure the ENTIRE hose is free (in other words, you can't only use a short part of it and leave the rest on a hose reel or in the storage bucket.) Then you must take all the kinks out of the collapsed loops. Once the entire hose is pressurized, then it won't kink up. I had previously used a collapsible hose which is even lighter in weight and shrinks to a shorter length, but it is not as durable in the barn environment, especially with the potential for horses stepping on it.

Yes, this hose is more expensive but the quality, construction and material is much better. Bought this for my RV, much lighter, flexible and easy to store

I had to replace the female end of this hose in order for it to thread into the Male end of my pump. It is rated as 3/4 inch hose but the amount of water that come out is equivalent to a 1/2 inch hose and that is after I cut 15 feet of the hose and put a proper female connection on it.If you come out with a 1 inch hose that pumps like a 3/4 inch hose then I will be the first to buy it. Yes it does kink put the kinks are easy to get out.

Works like a garden hose is supposed to. Not much else to say about function but construction is terrific.
