[Shop-talk] Good quality garden hose

[Bob Spidell]

IMO, rubber is the way to go (I have to drag several long hoses around 
to water a large yard). The plastic ones get stiff as <insert favorite 
analogy here> in the cold, kink easily and eventually crack. Rubber 
isn't perfect; it can kink if you abuse it and will eventually 
deteriorate, turning your hands black, but will work for a decade or 
more and the fittings are usually more robust. Unfortunately, as the 
plastic ones are so much cheaper--all some people care about--rubber 
hoses are getting harder to find, but I've bought several Craftsmen 
brand off Amazon over the years.
