I have used many hoses and they always end up getting holes in them and it's so frustrating. I use a hose for my garden, to wash my car, clean the animal cages and so much more. I have gone through so many hoses due to them getting holes and some even busting open. I don't have that issue with this hose due to it being stainless steel. It is very heavy duty and I like that I don't have to worry about it getting kinks in it. This is a wonderful product and good for someone who is always using a hose.
