My hose didn't come with the cut off valve at the nozzle. When I took the hose out of the box and tried to stretch it out it became a snarly twisted mess. (No kinks though). Once I got it mostly straightened out it became a game of chasing the twists. Frustrated, I wound the hose onto the hose reel, thinking that maybe that might help. Nope. So I stretched it out again and rewound it. Better but still ugly. I rationalized that it would settle in with a little use. I hooked it up to the spigot and wanted to check for leaks. No leaks. I then tested the nozzle. As soon as I opened it up all the twisty, snarlys went away and everything was like it is supposed to be like. For your benefit... Take the hose out of the box, get it mostly straight, hook it up and run water through it. Now you can store your hose without fighting the Twisties.

I purchased this amazing hose as the length was perfect and I was needing a good hose that would last a long time. I was tired of wasting money on cheap. I was not disappointed! If you have not bought one yet, do it!! The price is perfect for such an amazing hose.

Picked this up to keep on the deck and it's worked wonderfully. I've not had any issues with it. It seems to be very durable and has been holding up very well. I like that it's smaller diameter and lightweight...Makes rolling it up a breeze.

I recieved the Bionic Steel Pro Hose to try out. I loved it, it wasn't heavy and my favorite part is that it didn't kink up. I always had trouble gathering up my old house because it was so heavy and it was hard to hold it all but with the Bionic Steel Pro Hose I have no problems I'm definitely switching
