[London Drugs] Stanley Fatmax Professional Grade Garden Hose 50 ft - $29.99 - 50% off

As typically happens this time of the year, London Drugs is clearing out all of their gardening stuff for about 50% off. Yes, the original price may be a bit higher than the normal street prices but the clearance prices are nothing to laugh at. A good example is the Stanley Fatmax Professional Garden Hose for $29.99 down from LD's regular price of $59.99.

Image
Toss out that same old heavy, kinked-up, hose you've been fighting with and reach for something more lightweight, dependable and durable. The FATMAX® Professional Grade Water Hose features advanced technologies to make your work outdoors easier. PolyFusion® Technology combines Polyurethane and PVC, making it lightweight and easy to work with, while the AntiKink® Technology provides extreme elasticity, to keep kinking at a minimum. This hose is scratch and abrasion resistant and will maintain its flexibility in -15 degree weather, guaranteed for a lifetime.
The reviews for this garden hose have been good with the odd complaint that the ends come off due to corrosion after a few years.

Home Depot has the same hose for $48.93 available only at certain locations so there is a great PM opportunity there.

LD has a bunch of other garden stuff on clearance as well -> https://www.londondrugs.com/outdoor-liv ... v1=OUTDOOR

Reviews say don't buy.

EDIT: Amazon reviews are great. Which to believe...?

I'll give you a tip... the new expandable non-kinking hoses are way better for both daily use and storage, I'll never go back to traditional hoses.

well... the reviews on the stanley website is collected from an average of 18 people where as amazon is collected from a couple hundred people. I'm leaning toward amazon.

edit. every single bad review is talking about the same problem of the fitting corroding and breaking off. If all the bad reviews are talking about the exact same problem. I wouldn't take the risk and bail on this purchase.

Been waiting for them to go on sale/clearance for a little while but no luck. What is a good price for a 50/100 ft

How are they for watering grass with sprinklers? I have been thinking of getting those type of hoses but I hear they always leak......

I read those reviews as well but the hose really only has one fault throughout the reviews on both sites -> the hose ends came off on those with negative reviews which happens with regular hoses as well. They sell replacement hose ends. No-one seems to complain about anything else on the hose.

The Stanley version which is also on sale at LD for $44.99 - https://www.londondrugs.com/stanley-dur ... 49347.html - actually has worse reviews than the FatMax. If the expandable one had better reviews I would have purchased that one!

I'm not concerned about the fittings corroding as they are replaceable and the replacements are cheap. I'm more concerned about the hose itself which has very few complaints about.

I've had 2 of these hoses in use now for several summers and they have been excellent. No issues whatsoever, and they live outside all spring/summer/fall. Only are put away in the winter time. Good deal, thanks OP!

I’ll second this. I’ve had this hose for 3 years with no issues. I make sure it’s drained and put it away in the winter. Probably one of the better hoses I’ve owned.

Yeah I haven't had any issues with any part of this hose. I didn't put it away this past winter, but I did push all the water out with my air compressor. Still feels like it did when I bought it.
