Best drain down hose - what do you use?

[Keefy]

Hi Shaun, been away for a while sorry...

It works exactly as claimed by the manufacturer/company. I've used it a few times now and it's now a permanent part of my kit. Had to squeeze it onto a length of hose by warming the hose with boiling water which gave it a nice tight fit. No idea how much they are but they're pretty basic in design and build, almost on the side of quite cheap looking but it does the job and it does it well. I highly recommend - no more sucking the end of a dirty hose for me.

Get one, seriously.

In the market myself for a new hose.
Looking for something multifunctional and have taken on board the comments about the rubber drain down hose not being suitable for filling/washing down (higher pressure). So, one of the stronger anti-kink hozelocks might fit the bill? Like the idea of buying the 50m one and then cutting it down to various lengths for different purposes/ranges... A bundgy cord is always useful to keep it in a tidy coil.
The syphon sucker looks good too... Christ knows what I've ingested over the years from pulling on a hose, but prolly not much worse than the ****/bottles of plonk/solder/insulation/dust/tools held in mouth/spray from drains etc

I'm just sick to death of trying to unkink and open up the cheapo hoses my local trade counter knocks out
