Pope Jumbuck 18

My 10 y.o. hose had weakened through general use and had multiple kinks along its length. I bought a Pope Jumbuck due to its advertised resistance to kinking and was happy to pay the extra for peace of mind. I bought one for my sister as a house warming present as well. Silly me. After only a couple of months use the hose is even more badly kinked than the one it replaced. The kinks are one thing, but when mounted on a hose reel the hose becomes coiled so tightly that it cannot be used. I've tried leaving it uncoiled under warm sun to 'relax' as directed in the instructions but to no avail. Wish I'd kept the Bunnings receipt as this product is not fit for purpose.

I bought the jumbuck 18mm mainly for its minimal kinking. It kinks all the time! And so hard to fix them. Very disappointed. What is the story? I feel ripped off. Bought it from Bunnings today but cannot see me ever using it. Will have to try another brand. ......

I purchased what I believed to be a very good 30 metre garden hose for our bush property with a 7 kink resistance. What a joke. It kinks in several places and I am forever returning to the point of obstruction and unable to continue watering. I paid $114 at Bunnings and have been misled by both Pope and Bunnings. Very annoyed.
