Saw an advert for one, in effect it is a like a spring coiled, very
short when not in use exceptionally long when in use. Has anyone here
experience of them, and do they stay short for a long time or do they
gradually stretch, also do they stay efficient?

I have had one for a few months. It works as advertised. The only
problem is that it won't take brass fittings.

Relative had one for years, it was blue if I remember correctly, worked a
treat and never straightened. In fact you could not straighten it right out
anyway.

I considered on once but my worry is that it would work in a straight
line but not round corners of beds and so would spring across plants
and damage them.

They never go straight. Just bigger loops and curves depending where
the user goes.

They were selling hundreds of these at a local auction so I'd expect
ebay/carboots to be reselling them any time soon.

I've had one for many years, it has never stretched and always springs back
short when not in use. I can't remember where I got it from but I've been
happy with it.
The only problem has been that it isn't long enough for my very long garden
so I have to use a normal hose if I want to water further down.
