Get the right size.

This product looks good and is easy to install. Make sure you get the right size. It might be better to be a bit larger rather than struggle with a tight fit.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Damaged

TUFF ENUFF SQUIRREL PROOF

I used this to protect my propane line from squirrels on my BQ grill. They still tried to chew it to no avail. Now the little bastards need a squirrel dentist!

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some cons

Best protects replacement parts

As others have noted, the looks of this product are not that good, but I didn't care. I use it to protect my lathe coolant line from cuts and abrasions and it works well. One thing I noticed is that the product is running out.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Negative impression

Easy installation on spare parts

This may be more of a decoration than anything else. This sleeve doesn't give me much confidence that it will reinforce the hose, but I'm not familiar with pre-made hoses. They can have the same loose fit. Even after the best effort, it's a bit loose. I'm not sure if the instructions are complete. You will be prompted to wrap tape around the end to prevent fraying when cutting to length. This may depend on the specific application, but in my case the end of the magna-clamp hose would not have…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Low repairability

Have squirrels ever eaten your propane hose?

I have, 4 times in 3 months. I only used one hose once before the little gray rats took the other one. Well nothing more, I used a stainless steel braid to cover the hose for a propane grill (high pressure version, no regulator) and this hose cover slides. at the smaller end, and one steel mesh apparently suffices to keep wood rats from destroying another. Replacing hoses over $20 a piece is annoying enough. The thought of what would happen if a propane leak ignited prompted me to use this cap…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • High price

Almost perfect for spare parts

Product is almost the same as shown. The ends are not finished at all and they have spread a bit. You lose 1/2 of both ends to erase if you want it to be perfect. I was disappointed that there were multiple snags along the entire length. This is unlikely to have happened during transit as it is wrapped in plastic. If you're looking for the perfect hose cover, expect some imperfections. If you're going to spend 8 hours tracing tiny wires, maybe you could pull them up like a snagged sweater. Much

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
