Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Quite disappointed that this is actually that stiff/semi-rigid line that requires you to heat the ends to connect fittings. While "the pros" might laugh at me for saying this is a problem, they didn't spend the last four hours huddled over a lighter, in the wind, trying to heat the hose ends to connect things up. The second problem with this is that you either have to stake the line down or tie it to something to keep things from springing all over the place. The springiness of this line is strong enough to pull the emitters out of the ground. This stuff is bad enough to make me question the "Amazon Choice" label. This problem/feature is not in the product description and is certainly not what I expect when ordering 1/4" irrigation tubing.
