GoodYear 047 1/2-Inch x 50-Foot Rubber Industrial Hose - Red

GoodYear 047 1/2-Inch x 50-Foot Rubber Industrial Hose - Red
  • 1/2 inch x 50 feet, 200PSI
  • Oil-resistant
  • Can be used in all temperatures
  • Includes male brass ferrules and barbed fittings
  • Made in USA

As the previous review stated, this hose is overkill for everyday applications, such as connecting air nailers, sanders and such to the source. I use this hose to move large volumes of air from my compressor to my regulator on the jobsite to minimize pressure drop and supply the maximum amount of air to the multiple tools connected to the regulator. That being said, if you are only going to attach tools directly to a compressor, buy the 3/8" which is lighter weight, easier to manuver and less costly. Given the size, the hose is slightly heavy to attach to a framing nailer and a little cumbersome to wrap up at the end of the day.

UPDATE JULY 2010: Hose is still working great. No leaks. Now my oldest hose by far and used frequently.

This 50' hose is perfect for my purposes, and was priced well below what local retailers were asking. I was advised to stay away from "no-name" brands, and this hose carries the GoodYear name at a great price.

Great hose as reviewed by others.

It has 3/8" threads which is not mentioned.

I thought it would have 1/2 inch threads but

still fine for my usage.

I should have read the reviews, it would have saved me a lot of trouble. I didnt know that the ends are 3/8 and not 1/2" I ordered all of my fittings for that size and now I cant use them. my mistake but it should have something in description.

It flexes and stretches, but never kinks or breaks. It is a good hose and I am very pleased with it.

I guess these thing do what they're supposed to, BUT they STINK!!!!! I just kept them up in the attic for ONE DAY, and had to put them outside after that because they made the entire room with attic access STINK! There is a strong rubber smell that is terrible! If you're going to use these completely outside, away from the house, then they'll probably do fine. Even after a month outside, the smell is still going strong.

Had to return this as the chemical smell coming from it was so strong it gave me a headache, even after leaving outdoors for 2 weeks.

Can't tell if the anti-vibration feature works in my application since I installed it at initial installation As several have mentioned the smell is very strong and un-pleasurable. My wife asked me to put the invoice that came in the package in the garage; it was permeated with the smell also. The good news is the smell eventually dissipated took about a month. This would be unbearable if installed in the house for the first month.

these worked well for our application (isolating a rickety china cabinet that rattled when you walked by it.)

ATD Tools 9890 Air Tank - 10 Gallon Capacity

ATD Tools 9890 Air Tank - 10 Gallon Capacity
  • An excellent reserve air source for cleaning and inflating
  • Patented air line shut-off valve with pressure relief valve and pressure gauge
  • 4 foot air hose with air chuck included
  • Easy to read pressure gauge
  • Heavy-gauge steel construction with rust-free baked finish

I removed the tire chuck and installed an air pipe extension and a quick disconnect at the end. Now it is used for filling tire, air blower, and occasional hobby air for operating air brushes. The most annoying problem is the paint. It painted with lead paint so I am required to wash my hand after use or wear gloves. I am planning on wrapping the handle with a duct tape so I don't have to touch it to move it around. The tank is welded well and feel safe. But the welding job at the handle and the leg isn't up to my standard. Over all I am pleased with the purchase.

Master Flow MF-1040 Cyclone High Volume Portable Air Compressor

Master Flow MF-1040 Cyclone High Volume Portable Air Compressor
  • Portable air compressor powered by your vehicle's 12-Volt socket
  • Inflates up to 150 PSI and delivers 30 liters of air per minute
  • Ideal for cars and standard sized vehicles
  • Includes integrated pressure gauge, coil hose with inflating nozzle, and storage bag
  • Can be modified for permanent installation

This inflator is well designed, works quickly and quietly, and comes in a nice storage bag to stow away in your car. It does have one major design flaw which is the purpose of this mini-review : the screw-on valve adapter. Most inflators come with a quick-release type adapter. This one comes with a screw-on adapter. It's good because it means a secure seal, but it also means that it lets a good 2psi of air back out of your tire every time you unscrew it. The problem is that as you unscrew it, the seal is broken with the valve, but the pin in the valve is still held in so air begins to escape. If you're quick, it lets out about 2psi. If you have large fingers, are elderly, or otherwise slow at manipulating small objects in tight spaces, this could let out up to 10 psi while unscrewing it. This makes the whole inflator questionable because whilst the built-in pressure gauge is bang-on accurate while the hose is attached, it's meaningless once you unscrew the valve adapter and let a bunch of air out. In the end you will find yourself over-inflating your tyres by 2 to 3 psi just to compensate for the screw-on valve adapter. It's a shame because otherwise this is one of the best inflators I've owned.

Tires were running low on air during the cold spell and this little compressor came through ! Small and lite weight its just what the doctor ordered. This unit is easy to hook up and operate. Air gage is attached to read while filling. Unit is made of mostly of steel and not plastic. Unit does not walk away when turned on and is extremely quiet. This is a tool and not a TOY !! 10 foot cord plugs into cigar lighter anywhere for ease of use. 16 foot air hose is great. Total of 26 feet from cigar socket. Case is a nice touch! Takes 1 minute to fill tire. 30 liter per minute flow rate. For cars this unit is great ! If you have a RV or truck you may want to upgrade to 1050. Over all I would rate this unit A+++++. J.T.

This little air compressor takes up very little space and took me from 28-35psi in 30 seconds for each tire. The carrying case is very handy and fits everything in there without any force. Package came with a tire guage and attachments to inflate bikes and mattrasses. No regrets here; beats waiting in line at gas stations for air.

I picked this up after owning a few. Some had lights, jumpstarters etc, some were just air like this one. All I can say is wow, this thing is fast! It claims to fill a car tire in a minute I believe it.

Was using this to add air to my tires the third time I used it the curly yellow air hose split at the top. It has a three year warranty with a company Q Industries that has no phone number. Not sure it is legit. Will try and mail the air hose back with the receipt but clearly this is not a quality product.
