TruTec 75 Foot, Double Layer Latex Core, Solid Brass Fitting Nylon Fabric, Spray Nozzle Stainless Steel Holder, Expanding Garden Hose - Green

I used this to install it onto a faucet near my heater at the back of the garage and then had to run it out to the street and up my steps so i could spray water where the stoop meets the house. At first i was unsure if the 75 ft was going to be enough but when i turned on the spigot it expanded as advertised and the spray handle tho cheap plastic still worked fine. I just have to be sure not to drop it .... Once i was done and turned off the spigot and emptied the water in the hose, it shrunk as it was intended. Works just as advertised.

It's so amazingly light and takes up so little space. It's almost like magic!Update: Well... it burst after six months. It was winter, we almost didn't use it. It was outside but covered from weather and without water in it. And we're from Calufornia bay area. The weather here isn't harsh at all. As spring came, it had a hole in it. And that was it.

At first I loved this hose, until it burst.We purchased two and the second one (purchased later and not used quite as often) started leaking today.These do not seem to hold up.I think with the first one we left the water on, so the pressure caused it to spring a leak, but with this second one I've been very careful to always turn off the water, and at a spot where it wasn't being abraded in any way, it started to leak today...into our garage.I'm bummed that this has happened, as the ease of movement of these hoses was superior. :(

Wow, I'm very impressed with the high quality of this hose. I use it to refill my aquarium after weekly water changes and this hose, with its sprayer head and shut off valve, is perfect for that. it's very light yet solidly made. I don't worry about leaks. It's also fun to watch it curl and uncurl as if it was alive.

After going through several other brands of expandable hoses because of constant rupturing and leaks I was hesitant to try TruTec. (I did have my water pressure tested and it was normal) When I received it, I could immediately see the difference in quality. My first concern was the durability of the hose itself. I use my hoses a lot and while I am not rough with them, I do have to pull them around chairs and corners. I was impressed with the feel of the hose. I could see and feel the difference between TruTec a and the previous brands I have bought. The brass fittings were solid. The included sprayer fit perfectly on the hose with no annoying drips. While the metal reel clamp did not work for me because of the tight space I had, I loved the fact that as a clamp it only requires tightening.... not drilling into walls. I will definitely be buying more of these as gifts.

Sprung a leak in less than a year.

The spray nozzle only worked for a couple of days which was to be expected. What was not expected however was what happened to the hose itself. Underneath the exterior is a rubber tube which melted, fusing sections of the hose together which then broke when the water was turned on. We are in the Dallas Fort Worth area so the temperatures have risen to the low 100's but one would expect a much higher melting point. If you live in a warm are I would not recommend this product.

Installed in May and rarely used until August. Springing leaks already. The sprayer is junk, it never worked properly and sprayed water everywhere but where it was supposed to. However, the hose worked and was convenient. It hangs on the provided hook out of sunlight. I intend to return it, as it is still under warranty.
