2.0 out of 5 stars Great Hose. Lousy Fittings, December 17, 2009

This review is from: Hitachi 19412F 50-Foot-by-1/4-Inch Polyurethane Air Hose (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought two of these hoses mostly due to the favorable reviews and the really low sale price.

What I have found though, is that the hose fittings aren't up to serious use. So far I've had the fittings on both ends of one hose pull loose, once with wild thrashing of the hose until I could get to the compressor to disconnect it. The other hose I had the gun-end fitting break off when I dropped my gun. In both cases, it was the result of shoddy materials or construction. The hose with the loose ends was clearly not swaged tight enough at the factory. I could push the fittings completely back into the end of the hose and pull them off again by hand. In the case of the broken fitting, upon examination of the fitting I found that the fitting wall was very thin. I don't know whether this was an anomaly or indicative of all the fittings, but they clearly aren't meant for serious work.

On the other hand, the hose material itself is great. It is light weight and stands up to daily use on a construction site. While it will kink more easily than heavy duty hoses, the kinks don't appear to damage the hose itself. Just straighten out the kink and keep working.

So you can view this product in one of two ways. The first is that it is good, as is, for light weight occasional use around the shop. The second is that you've purchased a couple lengths of really good hose, but expect to replace the ends and fittings if your plan to use it for serious work.

When I purchased them they were on sale for $15.13 each. Had I paid the current price of $41.61 I would be livid. At $15.13 they were a good purchase for the hose material. At $41.61 I would not recommend them for any reason at all.

This review is from: Hitachi 19412F 50-Foot-by-1/4-Inch Polyurethane Air Hose (Tools & Home Improvement)

The hoses are pretty nice, pretty much the same as all the other poly hoses though. These hoses come with the connectors which is a plus, as long as you use this style. (this style is by far the most common) and you can't beat the price ($15 for a 50' 1/4" when I ordered)

Polyurethane hoses are lighter in weight and more flexible than a regular rubber hose, but not quite as durable.

This review is from: Hitachi 19412F 50-Foot-by-1/4-Inch Polyurethane Air Hose (Tools & Home Improvement)

Flexable and is of good quality. Liked the fact it had the correct air fittings already installed. It doesn't kink or get stiff, flows around corners nicely. We use in it our cabinet shop, better than the one we bought at Harbor Freight. I would highly recommend this product. Would like to find a longer one of the same manufacture'. All the Hitachi products we have in our shop are of high quality. Will be looking for more items from this manufacture'r/.
