DIY Air Duct Cleaning Tools, part 4 - Skipper Line for Air Whip Duct Cleaning - Air Vent Snake Hose

I make a skipper line for air whip duct cleaning during this video, could also be used with skipper balls though. In part one of my DIY Air Duct Cleaning Tools series, I cleaned some ductwork using a do-it-yourself air whip and duct vacuum. But the shop air hose I used was too flexible, and I wasn't able to push it very far into the air ducts. So now in part 4, I assemble a stiffer air hose to act as a skipper hose to push the air whip or skipper ball through the air vents. This duct snake hose is made using polyethylene tubing purchased at a local hardware store and has a ball valve installed on one end to control the airflow to the cleaning tool on the other end. Here is a supply list for the parts used in the video. Some of these items were purchased from a local hardware store, but I included links for online buying options.
