Disastrous Hose: my feedback

The review: This automotive hose proved disastrous based on our own experience. It was poorly designed and did not fit securely on our vehicle. We found ourselves constantly tightening and readjusting it. The quality and durability were subpar, and it quickly developed holes and leaks. Unfortunately, we had to replace it sooner than expected.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Poor design, lack of durability

Should have read another review

Well this hose is useless, it has rubbed on the belt and now has a hole. I don't think I need to change it unless otherwise noted. I think I have to buy another one.

Pros
  • Designed to resist electrochemical degradation which is the number one cause of hose failure
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Great hose, needs a bit of trimming

Fan blade, then off-road. THANKS to the people who left appropriate guides here before me. I followed the advice of cutting off each end a little and it has since fitted perfectly with no new damage. The hunting season will be a real challenge.

Pros
  • Preformed for a perfect seal
Cons
  • old
