Stanley Bostitch PRO-1450 ProzHoze 1/4-Inch x 50 Premium Polyurethane Air Hose

Stanley Bostitch PRO-1450 ProzHoze 1/4-Inch x 50 Premium Polyurethane Air Hose
  • One 50-foot 5 PVC, 300 psi, premium reinforced polyurethane multi-purpose hose
  • For use in extreme temperatures; remains flexible between 180 degrees to - 40 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Polyurethane construction is abrasion-, puncture-, and chemical-resistant; 50% lighter than most standard hoses
  • Ribbed design for longer life and maximum hose lubricity; safety yellow color for improved job-site visibility
  • Measures 1/4-inch diameter; 50 feet in length; includes 1/4-inch MPT fittings for maximum compatibility

I am in the process of replacing all my old rubber and Pvc hoses with Poly hoses and I recently received this one.

If you have ever been in the situation where the weight of your air hose either drags your nail gun off the roof or just becomes a hassle to drag up and down a ladder or scaffolding, then you need these hoses. They are so light that you barely notice that it's there. I live in the south so the cold weather performance isn't an issue for me, but I can tell you that they are very flexible. The only complaint that I have is that when you roll it up it tends to want to twist. It may get better as it gets broken in.

I'd been using Hitachi 1/4" polyurethane hose. It was light and seems to be durable but it had one serious problem. It wouldn't lay flat. The Hitachi hose coiled up creating a trip hazard and constantly getting tangled up around your feet. While working in a new home I saw someone using the Bostitch ProzHoze. Just as light as the Hitachi hose I was using but it would lay flat on the floor. I can't speak for it's durability as I have not owned the ProzHoze for very long. I now only use the Hitachi hose for long runs and hook it to the compressor so it won't be around me or my feet.

This is an excellent hose. Very light weight it is almost as if nothing is attached to the nail gun. I just replaced some 20 year old hoses that had begun to leak air. I would have replaced them sooner if I had known this was available. I do finish carpentry and this clean enough that it will not mar completed work or other rooms that it is running through.

What a great buy! The extreme flexability and lightweight of this hose makes using any nailer much easier. When working on scaffolding you are never fighting the weight of the hose. I could not go without this hose!!

As for most purchase I make I research them before buying. I lean towards being old school so I first started looking at rubber hoses. I had not heard of the poly hoses. When I did a search here on Amazon I found several poly hoses. The Bostich ProHoze had great reviews so I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. It has performed just as everyone says it would. It is so light it does not weigh my nail guns down like the old rubber hoses used to. It feels durable and well made. I will never use old school rubber hoses again.

Legacy L8305 3/8-Inch x 50 Retractable Air Hose Reel

Legacy L8305 3/8-Inch x 50 Retractable Air Hose Reel
  • Levelwind layering mechanism ensures the hose retracts evenly and easily
  • 3/4-inch ID swivel reduces flow restrictions and improves performance
  • User can select "Free Run" for fast rewind or "Latching" to latch the hose
  • Mounting bracket allows the user to secure the reel in 1 of 7 positions
  • 3/8" x 50' PVC hose is included

The vinyl hose becomes unmanageable in cooler weather. I am in Austin Texas which doesn't get that cold. At temps below about 50 I cannot even get the hose to retract because it doesn't want to bend. At cooler temps the hose develops a lot of memory to where it is difficult to use. I have about given up on using it until April or so.

The "Levelwind" hose tracking mechanism works flawlessly and makes the difference between all those "so-so" hose storage wheels and this engineering jewel. This is a quality, well-constructed product that I expect will be in service for a very long time. As a bonus, delivery was prompt and postage charges were very reasonable.

I was tired of tripping over twisted air hoses and ordered this from Amazon based on good reviews. I use it in a garage to work on cars primarily. I've had no problems with malfunctions in "cold" temperatures that some have mentioned. I'm in Iowa and the garage temp stays between 30-40 in the winter. Ironically, after I purchased it, I discovered that the Legacy company is only 10 miles from where I live in Iowa! Overall, it does what it's supposed to do. What else can you ask for?

All Power America APC4016-A 3.5 Horsepower 6 Gallon 115 PSI Air Compressor With 15 Accessories

All Power America APC4016-A 3.5 Horsepower 6 Gallon 115 PSI Air Compressor With 15 Accessories
  • Oil lube pump for longer life
  • Thermal overload protection for safety
  • Compact, lightweight, and mobile
  • 25 foot coil hose
  • Heavy-duty rubber tires

There is a pattern. The packaging is not well done. The top plastic shroud came cracked and broken. OK, I could live with that. I assembled it, and ran it for the 10 or 15 minutes break-in period stated in the instruction manual. When I unpluged it after that the power switch gave out a big puff of smoke. The contacts had literally had melted the plastic relay switch. I called the manufacturer who said thed would send out a new switch. A week and a half later no switch. Meanwhile I found a better compressor at a lower price. Amazon was great about the return (it was about 30 days). Funny thing: About 6 weeks after I called the manufacturer I got the switch in the mail. WOW speedy customer service.

Ordered The All Power aircompressor #APC4016A on 11/09/2011 and received it eight days later.After reading other posts of the same compressor being delivered damaged,I dreaded seeing UPS drive up to my house knowing it most likely was damaged.I was literally shocked when two UPS employees carried it to the front of my garage undamaged.I thanked them and they waved back and drove off.Then I took the package inside and opened it up to find everything there as was stated on the box.I put oil in it and it started right up and broke itself in.I hit the jackpot with this compressor and could not be any happier with Amazon and UPS.I have never had to this date a bad experience with Amazon,they are top's in my book and will continue to order from them in the future.

Opened the box and found out a broken pump cover and a broken power switch box. Motor didn't start due to a cut capacitor wire. Fixed the capacitor wire and it started ok. Had to duck tape the power switch box and pump cover.

Missing a quick connect coupler in the fitting set.

Shouldn't even get 1 star. Well ok so I got in a week.

Compressor came broken and missing parts. The parts bag was included, however the parts were not put in it. The ziplock baggie was still sealed and hadn't been opened. They just tossed it in the box with the washers and nuts. Obviously I ended up losing a couple of washers. Luckily, I had a bunch and managed to get the wheels on.

However the biggest problem was that the plastic, electrical casing had been smashed to pieces. I inspected the electrical and determined it was locked in the on position and would not shut off on its own. You would have to unplug it to shut it off. While I was doing the inspection the glass top and O ring to the pressure gauge fell off. Quite comical by this point...lol. So I managed to get it going....and to my surprise the cheap ass plastic hose had multiple holes in it. What a piece of crap. If you gotta get one of these gems...go to the store and pick it up along with a hose. Never mind just look for another model. This one just sucks.

The air compressor did not work as expected. I put the oil in as suggested before running and ran it for 5 min. The motor started smoking and would not run after that. I would like to return it and go another way.

Hyundai HPT505 5-Gallon Inflation Tank

Hyundai HPT505 5-Gallon Inflation Tank
  • Ideal for topping up your tires and sports equipment, such as basketballs and volleyballs
  • 5 gallon tank capacity and large pressure gauge and 2-foot flexible hose allows for easy use
  • Lightweight and compact design for maximum portability
  • Features an easy to read pressure gauge, air shut off valve and a standard air chuck; 2-foot recoil hose and inflation nozzle included

Rather than having to always run my compressor to top up tire pressures, I like a portable tank. Fill it once and it gets several fills before needing to be pumped up again. The probelm with most available tanks is that they are cheaply made. This one is nicely finished and has nice components like a well-placed, nicely shaped handle. Best of all it does not leak. It has a shitoff for the air hose and so hod air indefinitrly.

This device is another example of the high quality one has come to expect from "Hyundai". It is well constructed and the only downside, (in my mind) is the manner in which one is instructed to drain the tank. I.E., "remove hose, invert tank and open valve" or words to that effect. This is a rather lengthly drill and requires tools. I modified the tank by removing the filler hose, installing a short nipple and quick coupler. This way I can use a variety of hose arrangements and draining the tank is readily facilitated by merely using the quick coupler to disconnect the hose, inserting just a male hose end attachment to allow unrestricted air flow and opening the valve.

I pumped this up to 95psi and tucked it under my desk for a week. When I checked, it was still at 95psi. Great!

Con: the attached hose doesn't have interchangeable anything so it takes some work to get everything working if you want to use it for anything other than inflating schrader valve tires.

This tank was on my wish list, and someone purchased it for me for some computer work I did for them.

The tank arrived in excellent condition. Solid construction. Only thing I didn't like, and it cost one star, was the air chuck hose being hardwired to the manifold. Not a surprise, but an irritant anyway.

I ended up modding the tank by removing the hose, adding a coupler and a quickconniect plug. Now I can hook up a blowgun or whatever to the tank. I was hoping to be able to include a picture, but it looks like I can't.

Great tank, overall!

Based on other reviews here, I purchased this tank (not here). The Hyundai packaging is great and the tank arrived intact and dent free. I couldn't be happier with it. The build quality is excellent. A minor gripe is that the plastic shut off valve should have been brass, but it works fine.

As others have said, a hose with a universal quick disconnect would have been much preferred. The good news is that the fittings are standard and it's an easy fix to install a quick disconnect. I really like the padded handle, the design allows the hose to be looped around it, making for convenient storage.
