Comparing the Flexibility of the Stainless Steel Overbraid with a Regular MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail

Question

Question:

I am interested in your MB Sturgis propane pigtails. Can you tell me how the flexibility of the hose with stainless steel braid compares with other hoses without the overbraid?

Since there are no ways to really measure the flexibility of a hose, the best way I can think of is to show them to you for a comparison. If you check out the review videos that I linked for the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail - Stainless Overbraid # 100833-12 and the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail # 100575-12-MBS you can see that our video team member has no problem bending the stainless steel version and he is able to easily move them similarly in each video.

The stainless steel overbraid is an added bonus for protecting the hose from damage.
