Waaaaay back when I worked at a tire store auto service center( nearly 4 years ), I noticed every air hose that failed was right there where they bend the most. That sudden blow out and hose whipping all about bugged the crap outa me. So when I bought compressor and hoses for home shop, the first thing I did was shove piece of heater hose over that end ( about 6 inches which is just what I had on hand ). Anyway... Here we are 25 years later and my hose has yet to fail.
