Product review (3 stars): It works.
I paid quite a bit extra not for the extra stuff that came with the package but solely for the color of the hose. But the hose definitely looks better in the picture. Still, this was pretty much the only hose that I could find in black-ish finish so I went with it. If that's what you need, go for it. Otherwise, you will be able to find a more economical solution but as good as this quality wise even as a kit.
