Neat idea with one fatal flaw

I love the concept of this hose. I like it's compact/light storage size. I like the shut-off at nozzle end. I have another brand and the outer covering frays easily. This one seems a bit more hardy, so we'll see how long it holds up. But there is one fatal flaw. Unless you're using the hose on very short runs, well below its expanded size, once expanded at full length, when you turn the hose on it is not able to maintain it's length and starts to shrink again, pulling/retracting the nozzle out of your hand or sprinkler out of place. This significantly limits reach and is annoying when wanting to use the full length. And I have high water pressure. It just doesn't work.
