Hey Bob,

Note the "length" versus the "retracted length" of these.

I have two that are pretty short, called "whip ends", that are used
between the rubber hose and the tool, and without running to the shop
to measure anything, they are about a foot long coiled, and stretch to
about 8 feet in use. I'm pretty sure they came from Princess Auto,
which is the equivalent to Harbor Freight basically.

Brian,

That is basically what I am thinking. I had not found any shorter than 15'
and that was just a bit to bulky for the application.
