These are really handy. Available on Amazon.

I just had to know what a "hose catch prevention tool" was.

It needs to have a handle that can be reached without bending over. As it is, it is easier to just free a caught hose than to bend over to insert that tool under a tire. And the hose would probably just push it aside and catch anyway.

Too much of a gismo that is not well thought out.

Once these are wedged in they don't move.
Is it really that hard to bend over a little?

When I worked in an auto repair shop years ago we used old brake shoes. Pop in or out easily and the rounded surface lets the hose slide around it.

Katy, that's the best idea yet, nice and simple and nothing to make. BTW I love your pickup avatar, feel like telling us more about it?.
