2 out of 5 stars Not happy with this   January 17, 2010
Carlgo (Carmel Valley, CA)
It was coiled so tight in its box, just jammed in there, that there were numerous kinks that don't come out. I even applied heat and eventually had to wrap wire around the flattened areas to force it into a circular shape. Sharp radius turns are totally impossible, contrary to what another review stated. I had to get plastic els made for drip irrigation systems in order to make turns and keep the water flowing.

About five feet of the twenty was totally unusable.

You can, however, use a match to soften the plastic to slide onto fittings. When you do these sorts of projects be aware that every trade has its own take on what 1/2" actually is and if you hunt around for fittings for your project you will come up with multiple variations of 1/2" and you will have to figure out how to join all this together.

So, if you just go to a hardware store to get another sort of tubing, bring whatever you have to join together with you to make sure it will all join up. This tubing can be made to fit with heat while other types of tubing may not work that way. That got it two stars instead of one.

4 out of 5 stars It's a hose, what's to say?   June 21, 2009

Well, a few things, I suppose:

It's tough to work with right out of the package. It's coiled kinda tight, and pulling it straight actually kinks it when you first unroll it. I clamped it between two chairs in my back yard in the sun... when I came back to it 2 hours later it was more agreeable.

Now I have 30" of it running water up my kid's water play center. It actually has some body to it, and doesn't kink when your round corners as tight as 1" radius.
