The comments are right on target about getting contractor or commercial
grade hoses..
Also, a hose reel will reduce kinking.
If you don't use a hose reel, try coiling the hose, the section nearest the
faucet first, on the ground in a compact "figure 8" instead of the usual
simple circular coil. This will allow the hose to feed out without a kink.
My father showed me this trick he discovered on his own, and it works a
treat.
