Several times now the pipe clamps on my air reel hose have slipped and the quick change has been shot out. Then the compressor runs continuous while I am at work. Looking for a crimp style or something better. The original from harbor freight had a crimp that failed.

Mike, it looks like the house is larger than the house barb.

You could also try Oteker (spelling) clamps

Robert Pickard · Jun 10, 2017

Or just change the barb to a larger one and better clamps

Use the double pinch. https://www.mcmaster.com/#crimp-hose-clamps/=180hs54

That is what an oteker clamp is in the marine industry.

And that was supposed to be hose clamps, not house clamps.

**** auto correct!!

Turn off the compressor and go buy a new hose

Just go to McMaster and buy an American made air hose and forget the Chinese made trap.

I know its cheap, it was a gift. It will hold as long as the clamps dont slip a notch. I will give the double pinchs a try.

Mike, Rick answered it in #2. Take a piece of hose to your local hose supply store and match the hose to the correct tail and get an Oeticker(spelling) Twin ear clamp.
