This is the auto-expanding/contracting hose that earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it expanded and contracted faster and was the easiest to use. When activated by water pressure, The Best Hose automatically expanded to nearly three times its length in just nine seconds, far superior to inflexible hoses that took 50% longer to expand a paltry 5% in size. The Best model's durable, kink-proof construction consists of a multi-layered 3/4" latex inner hose that generates robust water flow and a seamless outer casing of strong nylon webbing. This enabled it to endure being dragged over cement garden borders repeatedly with minimal damage, as opposed to inferior hoses that stretched out or fell apart completely. Unlike lesser hoses with inferior plastic components, The Best model uses durable machined-aluminum connectors that allow you to drink water directly from the hose. Includes a removable nozzle with three spray settings
