5.0 out of 5 stars A tool that actually meets expectations, February 19, 2009

By	Andy in Washington "Andy" (Washougal, WA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

I have a small compressor, and a number of nail guns: framing, trim, brad, and stapler. I found that I wasn't using the air tools all that much because I didn't feel like fighting with the #$&#ing vinyl hose. By the time I had uncoiled it, fought with the tangles, the damage it did to anything in the work area, and then putting it away...if it was only a "few" nails, I just got out the hammer.

I tried a number of hose/reel combinations, but none of them lived up to expectations. Either the hose didn't quite fit in the reel, it leaked, or reeling the hose in was still a chore.

Finally I tried this hose. I had seen it at Lowe's for a while, but always assumed that it would either not deliver enough air, or leak after a week.

I was very pleasantly surprised. The hose delivers more than enough air, although I only use one tool at a time, and at "homeowner" rates of fire. I assume it would work fine in more strenuous use. As other reviewers have mentioned, it doesn't get caught or stick to corners like the vinyl. You can move the hose around with one hand, and it doesn't knock over anything that isn't bolted to the floor. No signs of leaks, cracks, etc. Even better, it can be coiled around the compressor, meaning it no longer takes a second trip to haul the hose, compressor and nailgun from the barn.

Not sure how it would hold up to professional, daily use, but for weekend warriors like me, it is a godsend. I find myself using my air tools a lot more since the hose now can be used and put away in seconds. Anyone want to buy 50' of barely used vinyl hose?

5.0 out of 5 stars Framing Nailer Hose, March 21, 2008

By	R. George Cowie - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wasn't sure if this 1/4 inch hose would work with a framing nailer. I bought it with a Hitachi NR90AE round head framing nailer and a Makita MAC 2400 2.5 hp, 4.2 gal compressor. I've only been using this setup for a month, but so far I'm very impressed. There is plenty of air flow for the nailer. The smooth finish tends to slide over boards and stuff without grabbing like some rubber hoses do. All in all, a great value.

2.0 out of 5 stars lightweight trip hazard, February 4, 2010

I wanted to try a lightweight hose Again but I can't get over how annoying these hoses are unless they're stretched all out so you can't trip on them.
This hose always curls up and ends up a foot off the floor trying to snag anyone in its path....arrr

I'll stick with my rubber Rigid hoses. They're super flexable, lay flat, aren't that bulky, and work.
They only last about 2 years though.
