I believe it's made out of rubber have been using it for 8 to 10 months and I'm very happy with how it connects and disconnects and it does not kink very easy to work with. I would buy it again I hope this helps you.

It is plastic and kinda difficult to coil,but it is heavy duty so it won't kink up.

It's rubber, but reinforced so it's fairly rigid. You should expect it to coil into approx. 18" dia. loops.

the hose has a smooth plastic like skin, but coils much easier than the hard plastic hoses. I coil it like a garden hose an have no trouble. Steve

It's not solid rubber but pretty stiff as a bungee style rope goes. Not lots of give. I would have to dismantle fittings to double check to be able to say with 100% certainty one way or the other. Unfortunately, at this time, I just don't have the time to disassemble my outdoor application. It fits my application well but you might have other criteria which requires a solid rubber core.

Being that it's actually RUBBER, it's stiffer than plastic hoses, heavier, too. But for my money, I'll always choose rubber over plastic. It lasts lots longer, and doesn't have that god awful smell. You can even drink water from it without getting cancer.

Hi Wendy,To answer you question of what this hose is made of polyurethane would be your answer. Hope this helps.

It is a thin, extremely flexible hose that is very easy to manipulate. While I can't quantify how small one can wrap it up, I can say that it coils into a remarkably small circle. I am far more pleased with it than with old fashioned, stiff and bulky hoses -- and I think you will be pleased as well.

The body & hose are solid stainless steel, but the spray head is something else -- specs just say non-metal. I don't know what the material is, but mine matches visually, and it feels solid in the hand so it doesn't look or feel like plastic whatever may be under the surface.

No, it has black plastic fittings. Perhaps that is the problem with this hose. I commend your perception.

It does not appear to be. Seems to be made of a hard dull black synthetic plastic or hard rubber.

Absolutely. This is the BEST hose I hve ever owned. VERY tough, kink free and it can be coiled like any other hose.Have had this hose now for three years and shows no wear and NO leaks at the fittings. No reason not to purchase this hose.

The entire housing is metal, The handle is metal with a rubber grip on top of the handle for our comfort. the circulart ring the guides the hose out is a very hard plastic which I thought at one time broke, but it just wasn't flipped the right way. I have had this since march of 2012 and it is still going strong!!! Well worth the investment!!

I think it is all plastic but husband likes it. The "hose" needs to be cleaned out occasionally but that isn't a problem.

No....it's not made of rubber. It's made of some other material that doesn't bend.

Unless they have changed their materials, the hoses are all made of the same stuff. Mine did kink, but not enough to affect the flow of water. hope this info helps. I really like their product.

The gauge I received is made of brass, the hose is rubber and the trigger casing is stainless steel.

Mostly plastic but is wrapped in stainless steel and has a stainless steel hose.

The end of the hose that attaches to it is metal but the connection on the unit itself is plastic like everything else. I have had mine a little over two years and the plastic reel inside the unit has deteriorated and broken just from the stress of winding the hose on it. I had originally given it a two star rating but now I would change to one star.
