Coil Hose

Over the summer I put some RapidAir lines along the back of the shop, put o ne over to the Hurco for the brakes and oiler, and ran one up to the front so I don't have to stretch out hoses to air up a tire on a truck. Anyway, short coil hoses are really handy over the work benches. I keep an air dri ll on one, and a sander (right angle grinder) on another. Comes in really handy for finishing certain types of projects.

The problem is I have found they break. Not always when its cold. I have one coil hose that was a gift many man years ago. it turned out to be a go od one. I have pulled kinked and abused it, and its still good. I had tho ught it was a cheap one because it came in one of those packs of air tool a nd tips.

I remember growing up everybody said all coils hoses where junk, and that t hey would all break, usually at the most in opportune moment. Well, I thin k all hoses will break if you get a lot of use out of them, so...

My questions is, where can I get some more like the one I have that has las ted for years?

Sears sells Urathane coiled hose as does many other sources.

You evidently have Nylon coiled hose that fails .

Urathane is Good Shit. Nylon is Cheap Shit.

The methodology of the left has always been:

  1. Lie
  2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
  3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
  4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
  5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
  6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

I hope quality is still available, but I doubt it. My best guess is that you'll have a long search for an item no longer available. I hope I'm wrong.

Can you rig overhead pulley of some kind, and use a good quality lays-flat hose instead?
