Nonreplacable air hose on hose reel
(sh.itjust.works)
This is the swivel mechanism for the high pressure air at the center of my Campbell Hausfeld automatic retracting air hose reel. That hose is crimped directly on the swivel mechanism instead of adding negligible cost with a threaded fitting.
The upshot is that the hose is not replaceable by itself if damaged. And of course parts are not readily available. Throw out the whole thing instead and buy something new. Assholes.
Who cares about customer satisfaction or returning customers when what the investors really care about is quarterly revenue and dividends.
