Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Beware. I purchased five of these and within a year four of them leaked badly. Where the brass end is fused to the hose (3 hoses), another one split 6 inches below brass end. My water is regulated at 60 lbs so it has nothing to do with it. Do to the unique manufacturing that actually makes it kink proof you cannot replace the brace end yourself. The split is between deep ribs so it too can't be replaced or cut out. I've purchased epoxy pressure hose kits, tried of course tapes of all types. Now here's the problem, it's a good hose as advertised for kink proofing but Tuff-Guard, the manufacturer, never responds to my customer service e-mails and there in no phone number. Read reviews and many people have the same issue and they too get no response for advise as how to repair our hoses. This leads me to believe they don't know how and they are not about to exchange it after warrantee. I saw that a large nursery not too far away sells them so I called hoping they could give me any tips. They quit selling them because of the complaints and they too are disappointed with Tuff-Guard. I hope this helps you.
