Good product to tap from my 1/2" line to my drip irrigators. Easy to cut and flexible in warmer weather; in cool temperatures it likes to retain it's curl. Will buy again when I need more.
Unfortunately a lot of the kits show 1/4" tubing with 20 or more emitters. You simply cannot run 100' feet of 1/4" with more than 10 emitters and still have any water pressure left.
I later purchased 1/2" distribution tubing, and then used the 1/4" tubing to connect emitters to the main distribution line.
Well mad and appears to be durable. However, it is a 1/4 inch OD. The inside diameter seems to be 1/8 inch and it was/is extremely difficult to insert 1/4 inch fittings.
Product came as before expected delivery time. This is not flimsy it is rather ridged so if you are expecting it to bend it won’t you will have to cut and join it. Around corners if you have any. Very happy with my purchase.
It is less flexible and a bit slippery, but I found it easier to connect it if you wear garden gloves, and there is no need to dip it in hot water. If you want to change the connections later, it is also very easy to disconnect this tube from the connectors, again no need to dip it in hot water. I like this one better than those flexible ones.
The hose seems to be made well. No issues with leaking etc. My issue was trying to get it connected into the barbs of the actual sprayers. I found you had to push very hard on it to get the hose on but it would snap the barbs as they are quite frail.
My solution was to use other hose that I got in a previous pack to connect the sprayers to the tees and then run this hose between the tees as they are easier to get the hose onto.
If you only have this and sprayers I recommend you buy quite a few extras as you will break a good amount of them.
1.0 out of 5 starsWarning: This semi-rigid line is unusable for the average hobby gardener and is not worthy of the "Amazon Choice" label

Quite disappointed that this is actually that stiff/semi-rigid line that requires you to heat the ends to connect fittings. While "the pros" might laugh at me for saying this is a problem, they didn't spend the last four hours huddled over a lighter, in the wind, trying to heat the hose ends to connect things up. The second problem with this is that you either have to stake the line down or tie it to something to keep things from springing all over the place. The springiness of this line is strong enough to pull the emitters out of the ground. This stuff is bad enough to make me question the "Amazon Choice" label. This problem/feature is not in the product description and is certainly not what I expect when ordering 1/4" irrigation tubing.
