Blowhose and swivel
Ok I have been using this swivel for the last year and I don't think you will ever find a better quality swivel then these. Both legs swivel so no more unwinding your blowhose. He also sells neon electrode boots. The 15-16 mm boot will fit nicely over the standard blowpipe. Snug fit easy on,off and super light weight. I noticed he is selling direct thru etsy so I thought I would post it here for easy shopping. I have nothing to gain if you buy one just feel it is a superior product that is worth owning. If you use a blowhose you will thank me. I use the 1/4" swivel.

I would like to encourage him to explore our market. I'm going to guess there are as many off hand glass workers as scientific workers these days.

With both ends swiveling it makes a huge difference.
A little graphite on the swivel helps to keep it moving well too. Everyone I have seen wears their blow hose differently. I have a name badge holder with the pull out string. I clip it on the right side of my shirt with the blow end about six inches out. I run the hose behind my neck and use a black binder clip on my left shoulder to hold the hose in place. The left side is free and pretty easy to control. I keep it in my back pocket when it is not plugged into the pipe. What do you do?

Sky,
I have been using this rig which I ordered after your post the other day. It is really very nice and way less leakage from the get-go than the brass fittings that I have ordered in the past. The brass single swivel fittings have typically leaked a bit even when new. This stainless one has almost no leakage, ie. you get what you blow. Thanks for the tip and I gave Seth a heads up on your referral to furnace workers on Craftweb.

And the neoprene fitting over the Delrin mouthpiece is snug and very efficient.
