Teknor Apex 8602-25 NeverKink RV/Marine Hose - 5/8" x 25' , White

Well made, seems thick and durable!

This is a sturdy hose - we use it to fill up our water tank in our food truck. It feels strong, and I love the twist connector. It has been wound so long that it didn't really want to "relax" when we finally unwound it, so we don't really get its full potential yet. I'm hoping that once summer hit and we can leave it out in the hot sun for a few hours that it will return to a normal shape.Recommended: YesWill buy again: YesStrength: Above averageLooks: NiceValue: Average

50' of hose is a bear to wrestle with when you only need about 15, but when you go to a campground, you have to be prepared for a lot of variables when hooking up. The hose seems durable and doesn't kink easily, I just wish the female end was metal. I'm convinced that the female end will be the weak link with this after it's been used a couple hundred times.

I tried several hoses that claimed they "do not kink under pressure". All of them kinked easily with and without pressure. I have a contractor-grade NeverKink that is outstanding but i needed a smaller lighter hose for marine use.I bought this to cut into 3 shorter hoses for marine use. The hose itself is pretty good and much better than other hoses in the same price range. The male connector is stamped metal and is super junky. I could squeeze it out of shape with my bare hands. The female end is plastic but nice to grip.I kept the female end and cut it down to 15 ft for use with a spigot that has a plastic male outlet. That combination works well and i am not worried that the hose is going to mar the male spigot.I say the hose is only pretty good because the hose has memory. It shipped coiled and where the male end wrapped into the coil it left a seemingly permanent kink-dent in the hose about 2ft from the male end. Luckily it was near the end and so i cut it off and discarded it, leaving 8ft.I cut the remaining 8 ft into 2x 4ft sections and replaced the ends with ends bought on amazon. they work really well and do not leak.All in all im quite happy with the purchase, but you may not be without some hose surgery.

Have been using this for more than a month. Much easier to handle than the flexzilla hose, which I spent most of the time fighting the hose than using it.

it still kinks sometimes, not algae resistant, after time outside in the shade hose if black from algae growing to it which sometimes causes it to absorb the suns heat then makes water hot. Baught a white hose hoping to eliminate the heat issue from the sun. other than that its been holding up staying under pressure 24 hrs on. I like Apex for being Made in the USA, there is a quality difference

This is a good quality hose, but not kink free as the product name suggests. I bought a 75 foot version which is hard to find.

Nice where hose. Nothing to complain about.
