Re: Can't keep my hose straight! All you need to do to keep it from kinking is to untwist it. From the looks of the picture, there is a twist in it. Take the hose and stretch it out and follow the ribs to make sure there are no twists. Once you do that, all should be well again.
When you use it, it can also get twisted as you walk around and turn so watch when you roll it back up. Leave the far end stretched out and roll it back into the reel. This will tend to allow the twists that develop while you are using it to untwist.

kudos:1 | Agreed -- I have had fantastic luck with the Craftsman rubber hoses. They can still kink but it is very easy to unkink them and they don't "remember" the kinks like many hoses will. |

I see them at Sears, perhaps I will make that my next purchase.
