I miss the increased heat retention of Parflex and the weight difference. For several years I've resorted to replacing 50' of my steel braided every 6 months. New section goes to font of the line next to my tools and all others get pushed back. I like the way steel braided goes on my reel.

Is that for Parflex or Goodyear? I thought those were for Steel braided lines only...?

I know Parker recommends no field crimps to be used.
That's parflex.. Not sure if they recommend them to be used or not, but I do.. That fitting has to be 2 or 3 years old!

Nice having a parker store in town. Every once in a while, I have them cut off a foot and put a new fitting on. Cheap too!
I have one in my neighborhood too that sells hose, but they have to special order this carpet cleaner hose if i want it. Good idea on getting them to put new fittings on.

No other shop in town will put fittings on parker. I clean for the guy who own's the Lincoln and Omaha Parker stores....he says the lawyers are to blame for no one else being able to touch parker stuff.
Why is that? What went wrong..
Where do you get these? Ive picked up a few here and there over the years and have been reusing them but i'm do for some new ones.

Butler used to sell them, their hose came with them.
I can tell you where but you might get blistors..

I don't find them to be very reusable. They don't cut into the hose the second use. They are a life saver to have onboard. Never used the paraflex, so they may get be reusable for that.
