Never-Kink Hoses and other Mularky

I'm no fool, but I've lost track of how many garden hoses I've bought that weren't supposed to kink. Of course it's a challenge to find receipts, the little cardboard "warranty" and remember where it was purchased. That's how they "hose" you silly. Now there's a new hose that looks like a scrunchy, makes a lot of promises and adds postage and "handling". Nope- not gonna fall for it until they hit the regular stores. I got a new-fangled closed end wrench that was supposed to work on countless sizes of nuts. Well, nuts I was- I caught the little monster chewing up the first thing I tried to use it on. At least it looks cool hanging on the pegboard next to the basement stairs- kind of space-age/ hipster. I thought I was slick buying a 100 foot extension cord for the electric mower I got for half-price at an outlet mall. The dang thing hides in the grass that's un-mowed like a drunk python! I've only run over it once, but it takes an awful lot of wrangling to keep from tangling. Also, I feel like an octopus with no brain getting it out and back in the garage. Don't even mention those reel things- I don't need any more gizmos. I strongly recommend buying two 50 footers and only using both when absolutely  necessary.  If any of my readers know how to keep the belt from shifting on a belt sander, please enlighten me. Sometimes I buy something I need for one big job and then stare at it for years. I have a nice tool-belt I got for roofing our first house. It really was useful, but I've been hard pressed to find another occasion. I even briefly considered Halloween. I will conclude with the subject of glue(s). I have a serious collection. One has a man with big muscles on the label, another has one of the great apes that Dian Fossey hung out with on the mother continent.They make alot of claims, but I've been around just long enough to see things come apart again anyway. My favorite thing about glue is discovering the one you need has become solid as a rock.
