Hi,

Just been using my existing hose and i am fed up with it and want to replace it, leaking, kinking, not really long enough, plastic push fit connectors leaking and snapped then fell apart.

Don't know much about hoses tbh, can you spec me either a good off the shelf hose on a reel or spec me the hose and connectors to make one up myself if this would be better quality or cheaper

After a quick google ive seen hoselock ultimate hose, but amazon reviews are mixed, ultimate handyman says pure rubber hose would be better? but i cant find this for sale and would brass/metal connectors be better than plastic for leak free joints?

------Short version spec me best hose and fittings or off the shelf garden hose---

Thanks

I researched this last July when I was in the market for a new hose pipe.
I found that any hosepipe from Hozelock is pretty rubbish - they all kink.

I bought a Claber Silver Green Hosepipe and it's perfect - no more kinking !!!

The one we have has been used frequently for a number of years and does not kink. Have you actually used one for a period of time or that just paper research?
