Taming a PolyUrethane Air hose, is it possible?
I picked up a Kobalt 50' air hose from Lowes and finally hooked it up today with a new regulator and filter. It was very unruly when I took it out of the box. I stretched it out a couple times last night and again today.
Is there a trick to handling these things? It seems to want to coil and kink a lot. I only have a 15' or 20' rubber hose, but it's pretty easy to lay out. I don't have a reel. I plan on keeping it in a coil in my compressor cart. The coil length will be a little longer than a hand to elbow coil.
I do like the length and the light weight. It's not the easiest thing to use right now though, especially when taking it out of my cart.
