Bought one 5 years ago and worked until last week when I accidently punctured it with a utility knife. Bought a new one last Sunday and it already has an un-repairable leak at one of the so-called crushproof connectors. (The far end male connector) The old one had brass connectors while the new one has aluminum ones and the leak is before the threaded piece starts. (It's a 2 piece part pressed together and leaks like a sieve. ) Now I have to cut it off and splice an old hose end on because the trip back to Sam.s club would be greater than the hose replacement with no guarantee the new hose would not leak. Why try to change a product that works and come up with a failure ??

We bought this hose this spring, and it has stayed attached to our faucet. Went to remove it before a freeze and it WOULD NOT unscrew. We cut the large plastic/rubber end off from around the metal female end, and still could not get the end off the faucet. It looks corroded like a car battery. Even the plumber can't get it removed. We will have to tear into our ceiling in the basement to have a new outdoor faucet installed, which will be fairly costly when completed. Sam's did sell hose with brass ends, but this junky silver metal stuff corrodes and fuses to other metals. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS HOSE.

I have an older version of this hose. The package indicated it is professional hose. I don't see it. Within a year it started to kink. Eventually the kinks started to leak and cause bursts. Curious how long this hose should last for residential use? The photos tell it all.

I can't fathom the thought process behind this hose. The plastic/rubber adapter on the female end is a failed attempt to reinvent the wheel. Its bulk makes it difficult to work with in a small space (eg - hose reel housing). The plastic is less grippy than a traditional hose, and its round shape prevents the use of a wrench as one could use with a traditional hose. There is no reason to buy this product when a cheaper, standard hose will actually fulfill the intended function.

I don't know what happened to these other 1 star review people?? I have 2 of these hoses. I've had ONE buried for 14 years to go out to my shed where I work on garden stuff and clean my drift boat after use, etc. I always teflon tape the male connection on the spigot and end of hose. That cost me 59 cents. The other hose (of 14 years) I use for all else in cluding washing the cars, etc. I'VE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM!

The hose ends have been changed from a brass alloy to aluminum like alloy. These are horrible because they corrode quickly and fuse to any metal sprinkler. I knew they were trouble as soon as I saw them! Price is important, but quality is too. This change crossed the line into junk.

I've been buying contractor/professional hoses from Sam's for years. They were sturdy, kink free and lasted a minimum of 5 years. This hose is flimsy and had kinks in it before I could get the packaging off. I'll be surprised if it lasts more than 2 seasons. The one star is because it really is almost 120' long, otherwise I wouldn't have given it that.

Just bought this hose to use in the yard. After hooking it up and turning on the water in just about 5 minutes it busted at the seam. Returned for a trade and bought another and the same thing happened to the second one in the same spot. Great price on this item but very poor quality. I would not buy this item again or recommend.

I have bought 4 of these hoses (live on several acre's) 2 of which are 3-4 years old (brass fittings) and 2 are a little over a year old. I live in Kansas and have left the hoses outside thru winter (not hooked up) and they are the best value hoses I have. I also have a 3/4" 100' and 50' neverkink and for the money and being 5/8" these are great hoses.

If you look at the ends of this hose, you may be misled to think you are getting a robust, high quality hose, but unfortunately, that is not the case. This is hands down the worst hose I have ever owned. The cheapest of cheap hoses will outperform this hose. NO stars is the proper rating. It kinks every few feet, which contrary to the advertising statement, completely STOPS water flow. Once a kink is present in a particular area, it is permanent and cannot be massaged out or removed. If you have tons of pressure going through the hose, the numerous kinked areas may not bother you, but for most people, the propensity to kinking just plain sucks. Do yourself a favor and spend more $ to get a good hose like the Flexzilla (also sold by Sam's), which is awesome! I got a Flexzilla and am totally pleased. No kinking, great flow, high visibility, and safe, drinkable water.
