Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These hoses are exactly what I wanted EXCEPT... They are the tough rubber hoses seen in workshops across America. But they currently have a defect in their manufacturing process. I have ordered 3 and returned 2. The two replacements both have the same problem. Where the brass(?) fitting clamps on to the end of the hose air begins to accumulate into a bubble. I am not bending the hose at an odd angle. (I actually have flex-fittings so minimal stress is placed on the fitting.) My hoses are in a very low-stress environment but each one of them has the same problem. It is only a matter of time before this bubble erupts and I have to buy a replacement. I'm not going to bother returning them again but I'll certainly buy another brand - which is unfortunate because otherwise this product would receive a 5-star rating. Disappointed that I wasn't contacted by the seller (or Goodyear directly). Unlikely I'll ever buy another Goodyear product.
