I understand what everyone is saying, but the reason to have the whip is not to eliminate fittings. It is a softer , more flexible hose. Much more flexible than regular air line hose. It eliminates the stress and tension of the air hose when using the tool, especially when doing delicate work or long period use. I have one on my die grinder that I bought in 1985, but that tool company is gone and I can't find these anywhere. It is a rubber hose with a soft braid on the outside. It is smaller OD than air line hose and much more flexible. Oh well...... I will keep looking.
You might look at hose use for air brush's. They are braided and smaller in OD and are very flexible but don't have the swivel fitting the whips have.
