Had a coolant line burst on a 2017 Haas VF2 last Thursday
The fitting just gave out mid-cycle, sprayed everything. What's your go-to for checking those lines before they pop?

Man, that's the worst. It's like those little plastic clips on garden hoses that get brittle and snap. I've gotten in the habit of just running a hand along the lines during a tool change, feeling for any soft spots or bulges. If it feels sticky or leaves residue on your fingers, that line is toast.

Ugh, that's such a mess to clean up. Sandralee's trick about feeling for sticky spots is a good one.
