This is the only Amazon product I bought in 2004. I just now realized that it is eleven years old and it still works fine. Sometimes it kinks, but it has been used thousands of times under high pressure, my house has over 100 psi and couplings used to explode if you had a spray nozzle and didn't run to turn the hose bib off as soon as you were done spraying. Good, expensive hoses too. This one was different and still is.
