I checked it out the day I got it and it was very flexible in the cold weather and seemed very sturdy.Great product, durable, no leaks, has brass threads for a tight seal for couplings or stems. 10 year warranty a big plus. Not actually made by Goodyear, it's made by a second party under a licensing agreement. The price at Amazon was way lower than Auto Parts store pricing. I'm happy with this purchase.Good connectors,sturdy construction,doesn't whip or kink easily. Using 2 in my shop and guys like them. Wish I could get longer ones. Have 3 total and some 25' and shorer lengths as well. I heard from rep that longer lengths are available and found the 100'. I will use those for permanent installs but the weight is too much on portable tool connections if you have too much hose.
I hang the hose from the roof 45 feet up too and think that's all the weight I want overhead. Very sturdy stuff, I ran over it with 1/2 ton pickup w. no problem...But...don't run over it with your forklift, not indestructible. Do make sure to be careful when adding or removing connectors as brass is soft by design. I just put one steel connector on both ends w. Teflon tape and leave it there. I also support the ends with nylon cord holding a little loop of slack where it connects to the air outlet. Not totally necessary but we pull on that end constantly while using tools so why put stress on the connectors when the hose will take it much better ?
Nuch higher quality than the old red or new China stuff ( leaks-like-sieve special ). Is there a bigger diameter w. stiffer jacket for use as heavy duty air plumbing ? Better than RapidAir or other "modular" systems ? I'd be interested.It's doesn't feel and look like a cheaply, made in China junk. I'm looking forward to many years of problem-free usage of this product. I would always prefer products or tools made in USA for their durability and reliability, and most of all to keep the jobs here for all Americans.
