Glad to see I've been taught the safer way by holding the hose pressure against my chest.

[@healthfullivingify]

Thanks. That's very logical and safer. Great tip.

[@captaincrookedcock]

I do this every day at my job and it’s taken a toll on my back and I hold it like you show.I build army tanks for the military at general dynamics.Four five days a week doing this it takes a toll on the body so beware!!

[@BlastOne]

We agree, blasting takes its toll on the body. Good news is we may have a solution for you. Contact me @ steven.carr(at)blastone(dot)com with a way to reach you. Depending on your location we may have you test/demo a couple options if interested.

I agree with everything except Having the hose running up between your legs This means you have to step over it to move or escape. I prefer having the hose running up my none dominant side across my chest then bending over to blasted surface I use my none dominant hand taking the weight of the blast hose and my dominant hand to direct the blast stream Then if I need to move away from the hose urgently I’m not tangled up with the blast hose

[@BlastOne]

Great comment - that makes a lot of sense. Sounds like you are a blaster. Any other topics, products, or questions you would like to see more content about?

[@aksandman]

No way im putting that hose between my legs. If the hose blows be it a old hose yhats 2 ply or the newer hoses that pinhole there goes you nuts. The over shoulder boulder hold saves the hose for longer life at the cost of your back. The hose in front of you with nozzle chest level gives you more control safely and longer blast days without wearing yourself out. Been doing this for 24 years now.
