    Okay here's my rant. My gas station of choice is a Hess Station that is about a mile from my home. They have premium fuel for $3.90 (which isn't too bad in RI) and they have a free air pump. But every single time I got to put air in my tires, some a**hole has stolen the nozzle! It isn't even a screw on nozzle or anything. It is part of the hose itself, it comes as a set. But someone decides the NEED it so they cut the hose with a knife or scissors and steal just the piece with the nozzle... Like why!? If I'm missing something, please inform me why anybody would need this!

    That's hilarious because Hess is a quarter mile from my house and their nozzle always gets stolen too.

    I'll admit it I stopped at a station a few weeks ago to check mine and the damn pay for air scam didn't even work when I tried to use it. So naturally I cranked back and threw that motherfvcking line like a football, and the line midflight caught a tree branch and wrapped around it like a yoyo. LOL I was pissed it didn't work, it was like 100 degrees out and even more mad that I had to pay to use the damn thing. So at l at least got a little laugh watching the line wrap around the tree branch like a yoyo. There ass holes go fix your line!

    I guess back to the OP's point maybe Im not the only one freaks out when things doing work........ SMH!

    is there any chance there is a pinch point on the reel and it gets sheared off when reeled back in?

    No it doesn't reel, technically its up to the user to wrap it up on a hanger like you would a hose but everyone just kinda throws in onto the ground lmao

    I hate gas stations that have the pay to use air things, especially when you need to air up all 4 tires and they have it on one of those reals, its such a pain in the ass.......

    i know where all the local "free" high pressure air pumps are. i got 3 of them i know of, one i use all the time. also buy gas there so i dont feel bad.

    i dont trust that built in their pressure deal on the 50 cents for 3 minutes crap. its never the same as my air gauge.

    and never buy a air gauge that only goes to 50 psi, this suck. get one that reads up to 100 psi. they read more accurately ive found.
