My 12v air compressor hose has developed a kink, very close to the coupling that connects the hose to the unit. The hose is the typical (cheap?) yellow coiled plastic hose that comes with a lot of compressors. The compressor itself wasn't particularly cheap and has performed well to date.
My question - is it possible to cut and refix this plastic hose to the coupling? I've been tempted to take a spanner to the coupling but didn't want to muck around with it in case I rendered it totally useless. I guess I could run the compressor to generate some heat, apply some pressure and try to take the kink out?
I'll probably end up replacing the hose and keeping it as a spare.
cheers
