Tools and Hardware Reviews of Apex 8605-100 NeverKink 2000 5/8-Inch-by-100-Foot Heavy Duty Ultra Flexible Hose
Customer Review: Kinky in Summer - Stiff in Winter
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this hose through summer 2007. It frequently kinks, it's heavy and difficult to straighten...and, coiling it is a real wrestling match...with the hose often "winning". Now that it's getting cold, the hose has stiffened to the point that I cannot put it on our hose reel. My Wife struggled with it for 30-minutes the other day, just to untangle it and make 3-foot coils on our front yard. When I find a new, better hose...I may GIVE this one away to someone I really dislike.Customer Review: Apex JustOneKink
Summary: 3 Stars
I just used it for the first time today and it seems to be a good quality hose, but ironically, my NeverKink hose had a kink in it - right at the output end of it, the end *without* the black plastic cover - right out of the box before I even removed the packaging. Because of the hose's weight and because it still works, it's not worth shipping it back, but I'd never expect a hose called the NeverKink to arrive pre-kinked. Just a bit disappointed.Customer Review: defective after 3 uses
Summary: 1 Stars
I just bought the darned hose and after the 3rd use, I noticed a section of the hose expanded to 3x the diameter--the thing is ready to blow already! KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS--either for return or to make use of the lifetime warranty. also keep the cardboard product insert as you will need this for warranty purposes. Buy this local as I think this hose is made cheaply and they do not count on you keeping the packaging or your receipt!Customer Review: NEVER IS A LONG,LONG TIME
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm not to sure what to think about a company that would name a product, "NEVER KINK" and have it do nothing but kink. The only time it didn't kink was the 15 mile ride in the back of my truck as I was bringing it back home from Lowes. I have stretched it out the entire 100', let it sit in 100 degree + sun for hours only to have it kink at least 5 places on the hose when I unwound it. It's going back to Lowes tomorrow.
Customer Review: garden hose for no crank hose reel
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this hose to go in the Apex No-crank hose reel. Product is of good quality and works great in the hose heel. Hose has a good size rubber stop on the end to prevent hose retracting too far. Like the whole conbination of reel and hose so bought two more. LOVE not having to wind up the hose, just set the reel to auto and it winds itself. perfect if you don't want or can't wind a heavy hose yourself.
