Beware - Advance Auto Heater Hose

In case you were thinking about buying some 5/8s heater hose from Advance, think again. I bought 7 feet of it a few months ago and replaced all the hose under the hood. I started to notice tiny leaks from little pin holes. On closer inspection, there were pinholes every 2" or so on all the hoses! I took the extra I had back to Advance today and we went back and inspected the box it came in...the entire roll had pinholes. It looks like a manufacturing defect and they quickly refunded my $. I'm not sure if all the product is like that but I'm not buying it from them again.
I went to Napa and they had none. Went to O'Riley and they had Gates brand. Just got done replacing all the hose.
