"A great hose!" 2008-07-30
By Warden Manford
Here is an impressive hose. Imagine 8-ply, brass hardware, a quality-build all the way around. We're glad we ordered the 100-foot length. We love the first one and had to order a second. My wife likes it so much that she's paying for the second hose. It's light, strong, doesn't kink. What else could anyone want?

I really like these hoses. I have two, one is 50 feet and one is 100 feet. The hoses are sturdy, don't kink and the reinforcements near the attachments are brilliant. That is one of the areas where my old hose failed. It got crushed where it was wound up and so was permanently kinked. This hose hasn't kinked yet and it doesn't have the weird chemical smell when I run the water. When I need to replace my other hoses, this is the one I will buy.

I HAVE PURCHASED MANY GILMORE HOSES OVER THE YEARS BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BETTER THAN MOST BRANDS THEY STILL KINK. THE NEW PLATINUM HOSE IS MUCH SUPERIOR AND EVEN REWINDS VERY EASILY.

Hard to wax poetic over hoses, but this is a nice, sturdy lightweight hose that doesn't kink.
"good hose" 2009-04-07

purchased the 100 ft hose. I purchased this hose to match my rapid reel. used it some. it's a good quality hose. its a silver/gray color. one side of the hose has a hard plastic/metal spring no kink attachment (doesn't appear removable). the box said it has a lifetime warranty, if it ever fails cut off the end and send it back, they said they'd send a new one. can't beat that.
