Key Fire 017-FF058-450 Polyester/Polyurethane/Brass/Plastic/Rubber 1061 Pencil Line Lay Flat Garden Hose, GHT Connection, 300 psi Maximum Pressure, 50' Length, 5/8"

I could put this thing in my coverall pocket and walk around all day. No mass, really small for an otherwise good size garden hose. Yes, it will kink, same as a firehose does, but the plusses in storage, price, and possibly even longivity outweigh that. Having two 50 foot garden hoses tucked into your toolbag is pretty handy, y'know?Thin walled but tough nylon webbing. Fittings are good quality brass with clean threads. Magic marker line shows it was hand swaged or they actually did a pressure test of the fittings. Great tool!

I used this for the first time this weekend....You MUST A: open spigot on full.B: Make sure that the hose is fully extended with NO twisting kinks.C: Wrap up when complete also needs 0 twists and hose straight.

We live in a converted cargo van and needed a compact-able hose to use for water fill-ups. After having worked wildfire seasons on the west coast, we knew about these and loved em.We filter all our drinking water and it’s a perfect hose for us. Packs tight and drains easily as we roll it up.The catch to remember is P line needs to be pretty darn straight to flow. Any small kinks or twists and it’s game over, so we do have to take extra time to arrange the hose based on our proximity to the water source, but it’s not a big deal.

Not six months old and already there is a pin hole leak in the hose. Extremely disappointed in this hose. If I knew it would spring a leak this early, I would have ordered another hose. It is used under little pressure - the hose is utilized to a float check to keep the level of the pool. Not left on all the time; only used 30% of the time, otherwise the water is off and there is no pressure. Save your money.

Very strong hose. Could probably drive over it multiple times and it would not leak. Kinks very easy. When it kinks the water flow stops. When it's tine to store it You must stretch it out so it won't kink while you roll it up

Great tough lightweight hose. First this is real fire hose material so it won't stay totally clean but will last more than 1-2 years like those cheap expanda-hoses. Should last 20-30 years. Just pick it up in the middle to drain it and it is compact and weighs about 2 lbs. Used by Dept. If forestry.

I bought this hose hoping it would fit on a reel that we have used on boat (we are commercial fisherman)...it didn't fit the reel but that is not the products fault....when we used it today we found that it kinks easily and the flow is diminished when it kinks to the point we decided to use our other hoses. It is heavy duty looking hose and if it was laid flat it seems like it would last a long time...but for our application where is laid along a dock...over the railing of aboat...around corners etc...it was not a good fit.

This hose works well in freezing temperatures . Its easy to drain , roll up and store with out taking up a lot of room. Sometimes I loosely through in to a bucket and keep it next to the wood stove so it's ready for the next use. I've used these kinds of hoses for several years now. When watering livestock this has made my life so much easier!!!!!!
