Trying to use garden hose for high pressure
air hose seems really silly.



Well, that's what redneck country coon ass do.
BTW, it's not silly if it works.


I'm probably one of the most frugal people I've EVER met, and I'm not that
cheap. Air hoses are not that hard to find used at thrift shops or yard sales.

I came home recently to see a hose/nozzle I'd mistakenly left on, spraying water
all over the place. I checked, and the house water was up to 76 psi. It used to
be 70. Seems they've upped it, and the old hose couldn't take it. Expecting a
garden hose to handle 90-100 psi just seems to pushing it too far.


You have a cheap hose. A real commercial grade hose will easily handle
200 PSI.
This was also a one time use.the way I read it
