Are genuine Milton fittings any better than Harbor Freight knock-offs?
I've ordered a 10 foot (would rather have a 15) 3/8" rubber air hose with 1/4" fittings. Now I need type M couplers because the fittings on the old hose are crimped on, not threaded. I'm taking the tire chuck with me to the store so I don't get the wrong kind. Are genuine Milton fittings any better than Harbor Freight knock-offs? I've also seen no-name fittings at Home Depot that looked good.
'I was in shorts, flip flops, and a tee shirt with a little down vest over it'Sexy! :barf:Odd that it would break like that in not particularly cold weather. How old was it? Could it have been oxygen rot setting in and the cold made it brittler than it otherwise would be?
OK, PVC, not a rubber hose. Generally those are a lot more immune to oxygen rot, and it if was stored in the garage it wasn't UV rot.Ah, sweet mystery of life!
