Rolling up the hose and bam! Instantly got huge, didn't hurt much surprisingly.

Some what embarrassing going into the house to say good bye and having to say hey check this out. I asked her if she wanted to take a photo! She did! loool!

I would love to see video of the little baby fit I throw when that happens. It's like hitting your shin on the trailer hitch.

Happened while packing up after first job of the day. Rolling up my last section of hose, the 2.5" reducer(flash cf) got me.

Apparently your head swells up very quickly and a lot! Looked worse(a lot) than it was. Very embarrassing!

Thankfully it was a long time client. I gave her something to remember - coming into the house going hey Kathy look at THIS. She's a sweet heart and actually called to make sure I was okay.

Damn Jerry. You may have damaged the o ring.

I'm sure Interlink will be delighted to find out that their cuffs are durable.

And it does add a certain toughness and maturity to your over all appearance. You can now raise your prices :winky:

That's a nice little lump. I'll take that over cracking your shin with the female quick disconnect though!

I learned quickly to not roll the hoses up between my legs.Like larry I was a speed demon putting hoses away and got an unfriendly tap that took me to my knees. Trying to explain to the unaware customer was fun.

Do you roll in from the bottom or the top of your reel? I roll over the top, it doesn't snap back on me as much.

I was pulling up a window blind the other day and it came down on my head. Dang that hurt. Its surprising how much the scalp bleeds!! By the time I got to the washroom it was pouring down my head. I was fortunate my client was a nurse. Good thing I heal quickly. Hurts the pride more.
