I just bought a 35 $ one and the inside was plastic and got stripped the first time I screwed it on. terrible. I bough a 16$ one at Lowes that seems heavy duty. lets see how that one lasts. blue and silver metal.

You have to bring it inside for the water and use Teflon tape at the connections.

No and I've been wondering the same thing. I can't get one to last more than a year or two. Every time I go to use a hose it seems to be broken or leaking. I bought one at Costco that lasted the longest.

For cleaning things outside and watering plants. Tired of leaks and other issues. Willing to pay more for better. Anyone know of a really good one?
