I was watching Trucks! or something on the Spike Powerblock and one of the product endorsement segments had these coil-like things that slip over different-sized rubber hoses and you can bend them into custom angles up to 90 degrees. I don't remember the name of the product and am having a hard time finding it. Anyone have any ideas?

Or does anyone have some sort of awesome hookup on braided hose lines? I need one about 4' long, no fittings or anything needed; dunno what inner diameter offhand but I can find out if someone does have a hookup

I know what you are talking about, but I don't know where to find it.
It is a metal tube that collapses on itself like baggage claims.

Wolfmarsh got the idea right, thanks mang. You see any for larger diameter hoses; def. can't use PVC?

^no, not anal beads
