After running through flexible hoses year after year, this style hose is a great find. I have been using a 50' for two years and , this year decided to add length to make my outdoor Spring cleaning easier. This 50' section was half the price I paid for my original 50' two years ago; BUT it is half the diameter >1/2 inch. The smaller diameter does increase water pressure, but I prefer the flow of the 1" diameter hose for my usual cleaning needs.
Sounds like a slinky when you move it across pavement, very short thread on the female end. Stayed cool in the sun. Inside diameter of fitting maybe 1/4inch. Will see if aluminum fittings corrode with our salty air.
