This hose is fantastic! It's really well built compared to other extending hoses. The brass fittings are real brass and not painted or other cheap imitations. They fit very securely with no leaks. The nozzle is a little cheaper feeling but it does a good job with no leaks and a good flow of water, I only wanted the hose itself, so the nozzle was a bonus already. The hose fits in a box about 8x10x4 and it's very easy to store. I would only use this as a spray, portable hose because of the expansion. With a sprinkler attached it pulled on it a bit and it didn't stay in one place once water shut off (Which is otherwise a bonus, because you don't have to wind it up yourself. But for gardening or other needs this is a fantastic option and I would highly recommend it. Get Here on Amazon #RY_GARDENER
