    Flexzilla hoses will kink. The important part is the hose won't 'remember' the kink and keep kinking at that spot. I honestly won't use any other brand of hose.

    I stopped the video and at first thought I read CHINA, but upon digging out the magnifying glass, it was indeed SPAIN. I've got one of each of the Eagle Grips for my locking pliers collection and a ton of the Petersen tools, but should I need to add to the collection, I do love Channelock tools.

    I miss the old Fastback. I lost mine years ago and had to buy the new one. It's okay and still has an aluminum frame, but is not as solid as the old design. My biggest concern with the Komelon are those silly plastic tabs for blade storage while Milwaukee and Dewalt keep them captive with the locking mechanism. I can't roll around and press up against stuff and have the spare blade storage open up littering my pocket with razor blades in a tight space. Another point for Milwaukee is flipping the blade around single handed when necessary. It's not ideal, but it is much easier than the other two. I've used the fastback for over a decade basically daily and I like it, so I am biased. The other two will cater to a different use case than what I put my fastback through.

    They kink and not just one kink but 3-4 places kinked. That happens under pressure and rolled up carefully after use. Do the kinks cause damage? No there is no evidence afterwards that they'd kinked so they bounce back 100%. At this price point and stating their hoses will not kink I'm disappointed. I like everything else about these hoses but kink proof they're not.

  • @WBToolNews
    @WBToolNews2 ай бұрын

    A truly kink-free hose is somewhat of an industry misconception. Like you said, with enough pressure, kinks will happen. The SwivelGrip is close to it because the handle rotates as you pull the hose out.

    I like old hand tools the best. My dad taught me that quality American made tools last. They outlasted him and unfortunately I didn’t get any of them before my mom gave away a bunch of them. She didn’t have the same appreciation or knowledge for tools. My mom knows a whole lot more about the best sewing machines, etc. I learned from both. As a woman who was a mechanic in the US Air Force on refueling trucks and other heavy equipment for 9 years I know how important really good tools are. We used both tools that were American made and non-American made tools. 100% USA manufactured and assembled tools that are of better quality being something that was/is a matter of pride as well as good for business.
