Craftsman (Sears) Rubber Garden Hose

Community noted

A discontinued Sears-era rubber garden hose made from Goodyear rubber, no longer sold new but still found secondhand at garage sales.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Named as one of only two hose types (the other being Continental rubber) that redditors trust to actually last 20-30 years, thanks to its real-rubber construction.
