I don't know about anyone else but I am happy about this hose. I am in my sixties and feel the amount of lead in making this product is no big deal. You get most of all your food & outdoor products from China, most all people seem to buy them without question. It is a hose and not a food container. Look, I have had my hose for 4 years and water stays on all the time. I can grab the hose and turn on my fire-hose type nozzle and water what ever. Does it kink, the answer is yes. The good thing is, the hose seems to never break down. Take your time and unroll the hose and make it straight and you won't have much problem. Other hose's once they kink they seem to fail at that point, but not this hose. Take your pick, the industrial hose or the typical green hose. I'll take the Red hose. Have fun with your pick. Mr. T
