Product Information

Though many garden hoses are designed to resist kinks, we can’t claim that any garden hose on the market is 100% kink free. Generally, the better you take care of your hose, the less likely it will kink. Look for a garden hose that’s long enough for your needs with built-in kink resistance if you’re concerned about the hose kinking. Does the diameter of my garden hose matter?

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to choosing the right garden hose. Whether you're looking to use a garden hose for lawn care, small container gardening, or even cleaning, you'll need to determine which features are most important to you.Although this hose is ultra-lightweight and easy to use, we did not see a sharp decline in flow rate. This Tuff Guard hose has a flow rate of 9.2 gallons per minute, putting it just below the average flow rate (9.3) for a standard design 5/8″ 50 foot hose that we tested. This heavy-duty hose also scored high marks for not kinking during our garden testing. The hose is reinforced with high-tensile threads that resist kinking and also provide a defense against the hose bursting under high water pressure. As you’d expect of a heavy-duty hose, you can use the Eley in temperatures down to minus-40 degrees Fahrenheit. The crush-proof brass fittings are lead-free and corrosion-proof. All of these features contribute to the hose’s longevity but mean that you pay a premium price compared to a light-duty or budget garden hose. Hands-on testing took place at the homes of various staff testers, which allowed us to evaluate the hoses in real-world conditions. When it came to reviewing specific models, our engineers and product testers spent more than 12 hours reviewing hundreds of technical and performance data points, including hose dimensions, materials (including lead-free claims), temperature resistance and more.

Hoses designed to be kink-resistant usually accomplish this by adding extra layering, which results in a stiffer hose that basically can’t kink. Just beware, kink-resistant hoses are often harder to maneuver due to this stiffness.A 25-foot garden hose may be too short if your spigot is located more than 25 feet away from the area you intend to water. Homeowners with large yards should opt for at least a 50-foot garden hose, if not a 75- or 100-foot hose. How long will my garden hose last? This is a lightweight hose that is flexible and kink resistant. It is perfect for those of you looking for a lightweight, very easy-to-use hose to use around the house for simple tasks. This Tuff Guard hose weighed 6.71 pounds which made it the lightest 50 foot standard design hose we tested.
