I recently purchased a 36mm AS hose, as I felt the 27mm was a bit to low CFM for things like routing. First thing I noticed was that the 36mm is much stiffer and is much harder to work with. To help combat this, I was thinking of splitting the hose in to 2 or 3 sections, each with a swivel connection, to give it a bit more flexibility, at least for rotation. I am wondering if anyone else has done this, and if so, was the improvement noticeable.
