This hose is skinnier and that worried me but it had such good reviews I went against my gut and thank god I did! It's by far the best hose I've ever used. I didn't know they made them like this. It's strong metal but somehow totally lightweight… I got the 100 foot one AND ITS SO LIGHT. I'm pregnant so I need light and this is perfect. It's also higher pressure than any other hose I've used. My house water pressure is great don't get me wrong but this makes my water come out like it's on the roids! The handle it comes with is so nice too it's pure metal (except the spray part that turns) so it's very heavy duty, solid, and sturdy. I got this for $50 not on sale and man I would pay that again in a heartbeat. It's truly a solid hose. It literally can't kink. You just pull it and it goes and it's such a massive difference from my old hose that kinks every chance that thing can get. Don't even debate. You want a hose get this I promise you won't regret it at all! Comes with hose, sprayer, and two washers (which I admit I have no idea what that's for lol) doesn't leak, feels strong, NO KINKS, and it hooked up brilliantly and easy fresh out the package. My gardening days this year are going to be so much easier with this beauty
