The Best Industries-50 ft. Garden Hose
This hose is great if looking for an expandable hose. The lightweight material makes it flexible and easy to maneuver when using around yard/garden. The fittings on the hose are brass and it comes with a shut-off valve. There is also a leak-proof protector embedded on hose. Another bonus to this hose is it comes with a spray nozzle with 9 different spray modes.
Craftsman Premium Rubber Garden Hose
The hose is made from an all rubber material. Its durable in low (cold) temps and in higher (hot) temperatures. The fittings on it are brass and it has a crush proof coupler. This hose is great because its heavy duty, but it also doesn’t kink as easily as other hoses.
Landscaper Tips-
Choosing the Best Garden Hose
Check for kinks
Conduct a quick test by bending a portion of the garden hose. The harder it is to bend the hose indicates the more material the hose is made from and will last a lot longer.
Look for durable fittings
For best fittings on spigots, look for fittings made with nickel, aluminum or chrome plated brass. These will not only last longer but will be less likely to crush.
.
See the material list
The majority of hoses are blends of vinyl and rubber. Garden hoses made with 100% rubber will last longer. .
Check for crush-proof fittings
Stay away from garden hoses with stamped-brass fittings. These will be more likely to not fit and remain durable.
