Why My Fire Hose Costs Half
People ask how Ace gear can be pro-grade and half the price. Here's the secret.
People ask me why my fire hose costs half. Here's the secret.
I started out making bell-bottoms. Then I ran sales and marketing at ONE Clothing, in the fast-fashion world. The rule there was simple: the best product at the very best price. I've followed it for 40 years in apparel manufacturing.
When fire came to my neighborhood, I built the gear the same way. Big Red is 1¾″ attack hose with 1½″ seamless aluminum couplings, available in 50′ and 100′ lengths. It’s rated for 300 PSI service pressure, pro-grade construction, and about half the price of the big brands.
It's insanity not to be prepared.
