    Note to self.
    When finished scribing a circle on a block of wood, do NOT drop the dividers point first on to the air hose.

    What is that hissssssssssssing sound.:eek:

    Duh!... Wanted one new hose.

    Least I will get a better hose than that thin curly plastic thing.

    And those curly air hoses need to be shot with a ball of ones own s..t, they are the most useless creation I have ever encountered, as you have obviously found out

    Sir Stinkalot
    Please explain. As someone used to say.

    I managed to make a small hole about a metre from the outlet end.

    Went out and bought a 30 metre proper hose and some fittings.

    Wait till the wife finds the expense on the card account.
    Any one got plans for a doghouse.

    Sorry DavidG .... it was a little attempt at humor .... an air hose with an additional outlet (hole) really isn't that much use.

    Duh! Me a bit slow.
    I thought you had an idea and needed a curly air line to be split somehow.
    Was thinking of how to send it to you.

    I have tried some hot glue but don't tell the wife.
    Need the excuse for the new hose.

    For safety's sake, ditch the damaged hose.

    I bought 30m of new hose the other day and cut off three 3m lengths to replace the curly ones I had. I don't miss the curlies at all and get better delivery to the tool to boot.

    New hose is better, but for a few dollars you can buy a air hose joiner kit from Bunnings.

    I went a slightly different route... I bought some decent hose and ran it along all my DC ducting, with tees at the wyes & outlets somewhere near the gates.

    Still use my curlies on the tool end, mainly 'cos they're easier to carry from outlet to outlet. A few extra pennies, but I reckon it's worth it... no more tripping over trailing hoses!
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
