Nice hose. Very good stress relief covers at fittings. Outside cover holds up well in abrasive conditions (i.e. rubbing on the edge of roofs & shingles). What more can you say about a hose... it does the job. PS I do like the red color, it makes it easier to grab at the end of the day (everyone I know has yellow or blue lines)

What can you say about a hose, it is maybe a little stiff but it works. The problem, it came with no fittings. As a novice at the airgun game I expected just to buy a hose and connect it straight up to the compressor and gun which I also purchased at the same time. Make sure when you buy a hose you order the fittings as well - that way you save an extra $6 on shipping and a lot of frustration. I wish someone had told me first.

Bottom line is it's working, but I have to make the coil shaped hose straight all the time. The rolled hose catches air guns and other stuffs on the floor. And makes the flooring staple gun down on the floor all the time and leaves a mark on the wood floor. It's even worse on cold temperature. Porter-Cable needs to make it more flexible.

I bought this product about a year ago, and have used it numerous times when I worked on my truck, or for construction. I've never had any issues with the hose. It's durable, flexible, and has quality brass fittings which easily accept different sized air fittings. would definitely purchase again

I had previous problems with the threaded connections on a yellow 50 foot GoodYear hose I purchased at Amazon, so I returned it and bought this one to replace it. And so far, this hose is working great. It lays flat in cold weather and all of my fittings will actually screw on all the way.

This is a quality hose... I have only had it for 2 months so check back for an update

Always go rubber. Soft rubber easy to sling around. Not stiff. Well worth the money. Have had it for about six years.

This was a great buy but I'll know more about it after we get into the depths of winter and the cold Nebraska temps. This hose appears to be pliable enough at this time to be workable in the cold temps though.

I had bought an air hose at a local (mega) hardware store and it not only looked cheap but felt like rigid plastic. I saw this hose on Amazon.com and since my compressor was Porter Cable as well, figured I'd return the other and purchase this one (actually $5 cheaper even with shipping). I'm not disappointed. It's made of a softer rubber, feels heavy duty, and comes with the Porter Cable name. What more could I ask for.

Sung to the theme song from Mister Ed:

"A hose is a hose, it sucks it blows"...

Actually this is a well made (and made in America for a change even as P/C makes more and more of their items overseas - hello [local store]?) rubber hose with decent flexability, nice brass fittings and ferrules BUT it's missing the black strain reliefs as shown in the above Amazon picture, I guess somebody at P/C read their accountant's memo. Should hold up as well as the equivalent grade Goodyear hose. Who knows, perhaps even made by them? Shipping speed from order to delivery was reasonable, less than two weeks. It's a good buy at a good price, but it's a "teaser" with the free shipping as you'll have to find something else to tip the [money amount]scale and Amazon has discontinued many of the small inexpensive things - such as Milton Kwik-Change couplers and plugs. Clever. So buy yourself a good book on constuction techniques along with it, or better yet a good book on jokes so the next time somebody uses a nailgun to sink a 16d nail into their foot on the jobsite you'll have something clever to say to lighten up the situation besides "Did you square that shoe before nailing"?
