My sister was using a flexible metal hose for her kithcen use and I thought it was odd using such because I know it is only for doing some kind of pressure when your pipe system is off or something like that. But she said that is why it is called flexible because it can do so much stuff and can be used in so many ways. I thought that it was a brilliant idea because you will not have to buy another for the garden, or another for other things things at home etc. It is all-in-one stuff which is amazing because being a household maker made my sister a homemaker at last!
