The newest product on eMurdock.com is the Thermoid Air Power Jackhammer Hose. I'm not going to lie, a couple days ago I knew nothing about jackhammer hoses, but after doing my research I've come to one conclusion: this thing is a beast!
The first thing that stands out about Thermoid Air Power above all other jackhammer hoses are the factory crimped-on steel Chicago fittings as opposed to the old single- and double-banded Chicago fittings. Crimped Chicago fittings offer many benefits including increased coupling retention, a solid, secure seal at the fitting, improved flexibility at the fitting/hose connection and it eliminates the chance your gloves or clothes will snag in the bands.
It comes in 50 foot lengths and consists of an EPDM tube with a 3/4" I.D., red EPDM cover and is reinforced with a 4 spiral polyester yarn construction. Many competitors use a 2 spiral construction, so this combined with the crimped Chicago fittings give the Thermoid Air Power Jackhammer Hose a 300 psi working pressure, more than the 200-250 psi of other jackhammer hoses.
Thermoid's list price for the Air Power Jackhammer Hose is $83.38 but you know you're not going to pay that at Murdock Industrial. From now until April 30 you'll pay just $32.81 for one of these bad boys or $31.40 per hose if you buy 28 or more.
