ok this is getting on my nerves atm, when i 1st started wfp components lasted ages, ive not long had to renew a 100 mtr hose and bought a so called reinforce one from gardiners and is it just me or does the reinforced string around the hose seem to be well....... thin like thread? the last one i had was good and strong went around endless walls with out even stripping the yellow was exellent untill a steam roller went over it on site, but the quality of this and loads of other gear is .......crap!!....rant over!
