I have a rubber air hose that is about to fail at the hose end. I can see it getting puffy. When I repair it I'd like to use something other than a worm clamp. Is there something akin to a compression fitting available? I'm imagining something like what is used on the ends of braided fuel line.
Or does anyone have any other suggestions?
I don't like the worm clamps or crimp bands because they have a bunch of edges to get snagged on stuff. And that little tongue that sticks out past the screw really, really wants to slice my hand up.
regards,

I'll try to get more info. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats | | Grumpy old guy playing with trucks, cars, and boats Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,859 | I usually replace the whole hose when the ends start getting really bad. usually the rest of the hose has cuts, gouges, burn marks from welding, etc.
