[QUOTE="W. Mark Hellinger, post: 32282, member: 692"] Re: Snake problems [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Verdana]Could you send me a picture? Yours is the first report I've heard of those symptoms involving the EWI product; however, I believe I have seen what you are describing a few times over the decades involving other manufactures products… by my involvement in fixing snakes with problems… The cause of which I believe could be as it was in the snakes I've seen with similar symptoms, which is: lots and lots of twists in snake combined with the snake spending time in real hot environments. Heating and cooling of the twisted conductor bundle could cause the outer casing to slowly inch-back away from both ends of the main trunk. The EWI snakes are susceptible to twisting the main trunk, and extreme cases of twisting the trunk will undoubtedly damage the cable. If the cause of the problem is twisting of the trunk, untwisting the trunk may solve the problem if it's not too horribly disfigured. There are other brands of snake cable that are really difficult to twist, but then, IME, those snake cables that are really difficult to twist, also are generally a little more difficult to handle (in the manner that they coil).
