Expandable Garden Hose - Any Good?

Was that this brand? Seems the quality on the market is very variable.

 

Was it the hose itself which failed or the connectors?

Not sure of the brand but it wasn't a cheap one - i am a great believer in buying quality tools and equipment.

I realised the physics of making something very flexible and able to extend and contract that much will never be robust and/or able to withstand 2-3 bar of water pressure. When the trigger is used you can see the hose expand and stretch ... very difficult to remain waterproof as soon became evident with the multiple punctures/leaks

Thanks, thats useful. I agree about paying a bit more and (in theory) having better quality products but can still be a bit hit and miss.

 

Was your ebay purchase a standard hose, as that's my other possible option?
