Grippatank red hose is excellent Ime on my 3rd year with it and we work flat out 5 days a week and it gets some serious abuse being dragged around pebble dashed walls , it is a bit on the heavy side but I like it , we also have a second hose reel with normal yellow Grippatank microbore that we use the same amount as the red it's not as durable but a lot lighter and handles the heat well either will do the job just the same but the red is more heavy duty
