Over the years, I've found that this is so true. If you fork out (sorry, pun intended) for good garden tools like Bulldog ones, or buy old and used ones from an antiques centre, they last ages and are designed to work well. I've just invested in a decent Draper hose spray made of metal as I got fed up with them either leaking from the spray end or the shut-off handle not working. I admit to not removing them before the frosts kick in. Also, the hosepipe wasn't cheap but it's frost resistant so no surprise drench from any splits when you first use it after winter. What are your views?
