Greenies hose bend restrictor

[Mark Saiger]

I gave greenies hose bend restrictor a try just for the heck of it while I was ordering parts. I really like it. It seems to make managing the wand easier. It keeps a better flow to the hose for me. I'm going to order a few more. Just thought I would share if you haven't tried one.

Nick already tested it and said that it restricts your airflow by 85-99% more than just using some half ass, pie in the sky, piece of shit, on sale, connector you get at the dollar store. :wink:

That is the patented Mikey wrap for your lead vac hose, basically a bend restrictor to prevent your hose from folding and kinking when you are torquing your wand a bit at 230 degrees and 15"hg.

It has a nasty habit of sliding back down the hose at the most in-opportune moments.

Put a short self tapping screw through it and the cool cuff.



Marty may want to take it in to his supply shop and pay the mechanic to do this.

He should put the screw in the package with the restricter.

And have Jim Martin provide installation pictures.

It's like your socks, sometimes you just pull them up and continue to work.
