I bought this to use on our hobby farm for watering livestock.  The hose itself is robust and relatively kink free - in fact all I would expect.  However we are returning it because of a worsening and persistent leak at the rotating connection between the female end on the faucet end of the hose and the hose itself. It started the first time we used the hose with just a few drops of leakage but now half fills a 5 gallon pail every day while we fill stock tanks. I am disappointed because I thought I was finally going to find a reliable 3/4 inch hose and while I think I am just unfortunate to have got one with a faulty fitting, I am going to try a different hose next time.
