Back on topic...
Don't leave an expanded hose "on" and you should have no problems. By which I mean leaving it expanded and pressurized while not actually in use. Also don't leave it exposed to direct sunlight when not in use, or the UV will deteriorate the covering. So,,, in other words, they're fine as long as you don't use them. Got it.

Bought one.
Worthless piece of schit. Lasted about one month.
Travis I bought 5, they didn't last one day. They all blew up right where the hose joins the plastic end. Garbage!

Anything that has plastic in it is subject to failure after being out in the sun for a while. Sure not like it used to be. A plastic bucket will fall apart after a year or two, or milk jugs or oil bottles and the list goes on. Just yesterday I put roundup in my ATV tank, put the battery on and flipped the switch and the hose to the wand looked like a shower head. Only been a couple of weeks since I used it and it had no leaks and yesterday there must have been 15 to 20.  miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

We have a guy on our local news that tests all this as seen on TV stuff....He put the pocket hose through the ringer and gave it a thumbs up, I bought one and so far so good, but I would agree with a previous post, don't leave it on or in the sun
They came out with a "new and improved" pocket hose called "ultra" or something....same dude tested it and said it was [bleep]. The old one is a bright green, new one is dark green pocket hose changed my life

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.
