A rubber garden hose from Continental, sold at Home Depot, used for general yard and garden watering.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Redditors single it out (alongside old Craftsman/Sears hoses) as one of the few garden hoses made from real Goodyear rubber that can genuinely last decades rather than a couple of seasons.

    The only hose that will last 20-30 years is one made from Goodyear rubber. These would be Craftsman Sears ... or the Continental rubber.
