Maybe too bright? - Power Tool Parts & Accessories

My 15 year old polypropylene tubing was leaking through the pin hole so I decided to try this as a replacement. The hose is definitely light and that might be fine for some people, but I have a feeling it could almost be light. As mentioned, it has a mind of its own when you untap it. The hose seems to want to curl up into small bends as it is routed. Interestingly, that's because the material is so light that it can't sustain the memory in the material, if that makes sense. My polyethylene tubing was heavier and I could twist it into misplaced loops when laying it out. This hose behaves differently and will want to bend or crimp a little when doing so. When looped for storage or transport, it also wants to twist in unexpected ways, unlike my PE tubing. Can't comment on durability as I've only had it a month but no leaks or blistering as others have reported.

Pros
  • Good Cause
Cons
  • So far so good
