Poor quality fittings
After only 3 months of light garden use the end of the hose came off - very disappointed for the lack of value from such an expensive hose.

    Fittings failed within a year.
    Purchased last spring. Fittings on both ends failed this spring. Don't recommend. Normally I love Stanley products, but they dropped the ball on the quality control on this one.

      Thumbs Up
      I have found these hoses to be durable, flexible, and lightweight. 5/8" keeps up the water pressure

          Disappointed
          I bought this hose hoping it would be as good as all the other Stanley products I own and use on a regular basis. Needless to say it fell way short of my expectations. Less than 4 months after purchase it sprang 3 leaks in the hose itself. Should’ve payed the extra for the Goodyear hose.

            Leaking
            Well, I have developed a leak at the metal end. The hose is still holding up very well. for the cost of this product compared to the use I got out of it I feel disappointed. Of course, the warranty information is not available on the product web page.

                Best hose I've purchased
                I can say that without exaggeration. Rarely, rarely kinks, excellent quality, not too heavy to move. Worth every dollar.

                Not worth the money
                Bought 3 in January because I have a very large yard. Two of the hoses have already blown the end off. Wish I had read the reviews before O purchased.

                    Hose came apart
                    Same issue as others. The reason I liked this hose was how it had the “handle” to grip when screwing on and off sprinkler and nozzle but that came apart.

                      end blows off
                      the hose material is great in that it’s it very flexible and doesn’t kink, but I’ve had two of these now and both blew the end connector off. The second time no one was watching and it sprayed water out the spigot for two hours.

                        Somewhat useful
                        The hose is nice and long, but does kink pretty easily. Also, the design of the ends means that if you put it on a winding hose handler, it leaks a lot.

                          We have had our hose for one year and just had the same problem as others on this site. The connecter blew off. Not sure if it can be fixed. Otherwise like the hose.

                            Great until the end blows off
                            Had the hose for about 2 months which worked great (no kinks, etc), then the end of the hose blew off. Seems like it's an issue by looking at the reviews below. Hoping I can get some support/reimbursement under warranty.

                              big yellow dud
                              This seems to be a common issue the end of mine broke off as well. This was not a cheap hose and it should have held up longer considering the minimal usage. I will reach out to Stanley and see if they actually stand behind the limited lifetime warranty.

                                Bought this hose about a month ago. The fitting at one end came off with the water coming out under normal pressure. Manufacture defect that should be covered by the lifetime warranty.

                                  Thought I was getting a forever hose or close to it. Thumbs down Stanley. End is broken off and cannot get it back on.

                                      Stanley Fatmax 50' hose
                                      I purchased two of these last year. Unfortunately, in one of the them the connector came apart. Just like the posted photo of another reviewer. The quality of hose is good, but not the connectors. It is a pity.

                                        I use it to fill water troughs year round in Saskatchewan. Stands up great to our cold winters. No kinks and light weight. Will be buying more.

                                          Leaking at connector.
                                          Hose material is great, no knots / kinks. However, connector started leaking after a couple months of use. I repaired with a replacement connector from the local hardware store. I have a couple of these hoses. I had recommended these to others until the connector started leaking.

                                            Nice hose until the connectors blow off
                                            We have had two of these hoses for about one year. Yesterday, one of the ends blew off while I was filling a tank. I had a pressure regulator installed inline and it was set to 40 PSI. Nice hoses and fittings, too bad they won’t hold up. I would only recommend this product if they could resolve the connector problem.

                                                  this hose is rated at 500PSI so I thought it was safe to let it hooked up in my garage but like the other reviews the end of those popped off and caused water damage to my garage.

                                                      Great hose if it didn’t break so dam fast
                                                      The hose doesn’t kink but it does break. Same issue as all the other reviewers here. The male end of the hose blows of.f Clearly this is an issue with this product and they keep distributing for sale and they aren’t a cheap hose either.
