Takla air jack repairs

Before I contact them over the next few days I thnought it best to ask here.

Using the above tonight to swap over from maxxis to mtr's I noticed one of the prongs on the bayonet missing.Also because the hose is stored in a coil theres a few kinks formed that restrict the gas flow when in use.It takes a while for the hose to straighten out and the three issues comined make it awkward to make a good seal at the bag when inflating solo.

So is there an alternative version of the hose , more flexible & with a more robust bayonet head.Or is there an industrious member here who manafactures such a thing ?

Replacement bayonets only cost a couple of quid from APB. As regards the kinks in the house, I tend to connect the house to the exhaust briefly before connecting to the jack. This warms the house and allows you to get the kinks out. Thumbs Up
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
