What they say

so i'm going to talk a little bit about the makeup of the whip itself the whip itself this is a three foot whip we have two different sizes we got three foot and five foot and that's going to be really personal preference what you like better but a whip itself i came up with all the specifications and the standards of these whips that we sell at paint life supply co i i there were certain things i wanted in a whip i wanted you know it to be flexible i wanted to spray all the coatings that i sprayed i wanted to be flexible at the gun and where it attaches to the hose itself and um and so i didn't want any type of wire banding on it typically what you're seeing this wire banding from other major manufacturers of hose whips that come with your sprayers they always have this banding on the end that on the ends of the the whip and that adds a lot of stiffness to the whip it doesn't make it very flexible at the wrist and at the gun i wanted to eliminate that banding the trade-off is you um sacrifice some durability with the whip itself you know at the crimping point right there but this is about about functionality and having this thing you know maneuverable and um and create a lot less fatigue on your wrist while you're spraying especially when you're spraying day in and day out so our gun whips you'll see the three foot and the five foot don't have any type of wire banding on the end so that gives you significant significantly more um flexibility with the whip you're gonna see other major manufacturers of whips themselves you know they're the hose itself is the same hose that comes on the 50 foot hose they just give you a short hose with banding on it and they consider that a whip which it's not really a whip in itself it doesn't add very much flexibility to your gun at all so talk about the sizing
