Was blowing some leaves off the roof and my 50' 1/4" polyurethane hose has developed a side wall hole in it and leaking a lot of air - enough to make the compressor run continuously.
I'm pretty careful and did not pinch it under anything. Perhaps I stepped on it on the driveway but nothing sharp there.
Polyurethane I've dealt with before has really tough skin, its hard to puncture or cut it.
I tried multiple layers of ducttape but it is still leaking past there.
If there a fix - easy splice that will hold or is it time to toss the $25 50 foot hose and get a new one?
Is this a common problem? Anyone else had a ployurethane hose get a sidewall leak?
