Garbage, pure garbage. Bought two, the first one leaked like a geyser the second time I used it. Took both back to Wal-Mart for a refund.

The ONLY thing they might be good for would be to water plants with barely a trickle of water. Turn on any kind of pressure & they will burst.

I'm anxious to see how many stores carry them next year. But perhaps they'll have a new & improved version by then.

Loved the idea of a lightweight, compact hose for my patio, but after reading all the online reviews of the pocket hose I decided against it. I opted instead to purchase the 50 ft. coil hose from Lowes. It is not quite as compact but it does fit into a medium sized flower pot on my patio and has not given me one problem after two months of almost daily use.

Bought at Walmart for $19, so nice to not have to organize hose, color a little bright but works GREAT!

The first on I bought had a slight leak at the plastic nozzle,all I did was tighten the nozzle a little more on the hose bib and it was fine. I had it for around five months no problem till one day was pulling into my Lani and the hose hit the corner of the screen door and got a hole in it. I bought a second one and no problem. I do understand that a company named Dap makes one with brass fittings. I think you have to buy it online.

With brass fittings, rather expensive for more than 25'

Mine didn't leak at the plastic fittings on the hose ends. The inner plastic membrane that expands inside the green outer covering failed under pressure & sprang a huge leak. I don't see how having brass fittings on the ends will change anything. It's the inner plastic membrane that needs to be improved.
