These people are serious about hoses, buddy! A1 Hose and Coupling But do they cater to the likes of little ol' me, and are their products made in the by God US of A? | |||

Dramm colorstorm hoses are what I own. I have two 50’ and one 25’. I have quick connects on all of them. I use them with my pressure washer and by themselves. Mine are 5/8 and they make them in larger and smaller diameters. Best thing I did was learn how to properly roll a hose. YouTube has videos. Cuts way down on kinks when they’re properly rolled for storage. | |||

This is what I have in front and back yards. Continental and bought from Home Depot about 7 years ago. Still going great in both applications. Life moves pretty fast.

Flexzilla hoses are made by Legacy Mfg, a family owned company in Marion Iowa. They make a lot of hose products, from consumer water hoses to commercial grease guns and hoses. They built a new 133,000 sq ft building a few years ago to be able to build more of their products back here in the USA. Their consumer hoses may or may not be made here, but they are certainly a good American company worth supporting. I have 2 of them and love them. They are light to handle, don't kink and easy to roll up. Many of the garden centers around here seem to use them. Customer service is also great. I had a problem with the 2nd one I bought. A quick phone call and 2 days later I had a new one at my door. | |||

We bought these a year ago. Awesome garden hose. They're so much less of a pain in the ass than regular types of garden hose and much lighter without being flimsy. ___________________________________________ "Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" -Dr. Thaddeus Venture | |||

I just emailed them. They're U.S. made now. | |||

Beware of some hoses that are cheaping out and using aluminum connectors at each end. Depending on how long they stay connected, aluminum and brass together can undergo galvanic corrosion. It is not rust, but a reaction between two dissimilar metals. It would happen if you never even ran water through them. If they get corroded solid, they may have to be cut apart. Consider if you had an aluminum hose connector connected to the brass hose bib that sticks out of your wall. When in doubt, mumble | |||
