I was excited to use this hose.  It feels super strong and durable.  The rubber piece over the hose end gives it a comfortable handle.  At 50 feet long it’s long enough to reach my vegetable garden!  The only time it “kinked” was when I first took it out of the box to set up but once the water was running through the hose there was NO kinks in it.  The water pressure is great also, not the dribble I was expecting!  I’m really hoping it is durable with my dog IF he gets a hold of it but I doubt he will do damage as it is very well made!
