Legacy Flexzilla Air Hose - 3/8in. x 100ft., Model# HFZ38100YW2

  • Superior bend radius
  • Kink resistance under pressure

  • Excellent abrasion-resistant cover

I have a little 2hp air compressor in my garage that is over twenty years old. I still had the air hose that came with it but it had leaks and was getting pretty frayed. I just happened to be looking through a tool catalog one day when I came across this air hose. I checked to see who sold this online and saw that Amazon.com did so I decided to buy it and got the 100 ft. one to replace the old 50 ft. hose. This is the best air hose I have come across and Ive been looking for awhile. What I really like is the flexibility of this air hose and how it doesn't get stiff in cold weather like a cheap garden hose. I am completely satisfied with this product and highly recommend it to any one needing a new air hose.

I'm an everyday framer and have used almost every air hose on the market. This hose is worthless. The factory ends broke in two weeks and after replacing them I literally threw this hose in the dump trailer. Buy a Flexeel or a basic rubber hose, don't waste your money.

I've worked in the automotive industry for many years and used all types of air hoses from cheap to decent. I came across this hose at Sears and decided to replace my personal compressor hose at home. This product is awesome. I have never seen or used anything like it. It definitely delivers what it says and is top notch.

I had been using a 1/4 inch polyurethane air hose for my air tools when my wife bought this 3/8 inch Flexzilla hose off my wish list for Christmas. Anybody that has experience with polyurethane hoses will know that their light weight is a nice feature, but that they are not nearly as pliable as some of the other alternatives. Flexzilla hoses are the most pliable hoses that I have seen and they are constructed very well. Although this hose is a bit heavier, I still find it easier nicer to work with than the polyurethane hose.

Midwest Can (MWC5600) 5 Gallon Auto Shutoff Gasoline Can

Midwest Can 5 Gallon Auto Shutoff Gasoline Can
  • Midwest Can #5600 5GAL RED Plastic Gas Can
  • MIDWEST CAN COMPANY

Pros are it has a good capacity, the Cons are that the nozzle is too restrictive. It takes double the time to get the gas out of the can due to the safety feature in the nozzle.

I purchased a model 5600 (5 gal.). I'm not sure if it has the same spout as this #6600. If it does, I would not recommend the gas can (apologies if this review is irrelevant). It is a self-closing spout with a spring (the nozzle must be twisted then depressed to dispense gas). The spring is stiff and difficult to press down. There is a little plastic lip that is intended to hook on the edge of the gas hole which is too small and therefore constantly slips off (shutting off the gas dispensing). Given the angle of the spount, I can't dispense all the gas into my car. Finally, the gas comes out very slowly when it does come out. It is a frustrating experience to wrestle with this can while trying to dispense gas into my car.

I've been shopping around the area and simply can't find a plastic gas can without some inconvenient "leak proof" dispenser system. Why is it so hard to find an old fashioned gas can that works? I can only conclude that there is some conspiracy out there -probably a new EPA regulation (well intentioned, no doubt, but unfortunately resulting in products that don't work). Please, I can screw a simple threaded cap on all by myself. I would have given the product a 1-star, but my guess is that it's not Midwest Can's fault.

To their credit, Midwest Can customer service is very responsive. They are sending me a replacement cap for "gas storage," i.e. a simple threaded cap. I'll just buy a funnel to get gas into my car.

Works fine, spill proof spout is a bit slow and cumbersome, but that's the only complaint. Almost impossible to find a 6 gal can. Use it to store mixed gasoline for 2 cycle outboard motor, 50 to 1 mixture is one pint oil to 6 gals of gas. Just makes things simpler.

I am not going to go into how the nozzle works because it has been covered in other posts. I just want to support the notion that this can is very slow. Not a big deal if you are pouring gas into a weed trimmer but it is a serious pain trying to pour gas into a boat. The last time I tried to fill something it built up with pressure and preceded to spray gas everywhere for quite a long time. I never seemed to have trouble pouring gas until I got my hands on one of these. I would not recommend getting anywhere near a hot engine with this gas can.

These CARB compliant cans are very bad. They spill gas all over you, the environment and your gear. Why can't the government politicians trust us to simply put a lid back on the can?

Neiko Heavy Duty 1.3 mm HVLP Air Spray Gun with Gauge

Neiko Heavy Duty 1.3 mm HVLP Air Spray Gun with Gauge
  • Pro-grade air spray gun with color-coded 1.3mm nozzle
  • Comes with a heavy duty durable 600 cc aluminum paint canister
  • Built-in easy-read pressure gauge with regulator
  • Operating pressure at 40 PSI, working pressure at 10 PSI
  • 1.3 mm nozzle, aimed for urethane and color, hi-viscosity

I was in the market for a new spray gun with a 1.3 mm tip. I had a gift card for Amazon and was searching their site for paint guns. I stumbled across this one, took a chance, and I'm glad I did. I had never heard of Neiko Tools before, but this gun looked nice in the picture, so I ordered it. I was looking for a gun for under $100. The problem with most budget guns is that they all seem to be made by the same cheap Chinese factory. This one is different. The construction seems top notch, the feel is nice, and it really lays down the paint nice. I bought this strictly for clear coat. I've only used it a few times but I'm very pleased. It is also more efficient with the paint than my other hvlp guns. I put the amount that I normally would have used in my old gun into this one. When my project was done I had quite a bit left. The only gripe that I have, and it's small, is the weight. It's a little heavier than all my other guns. I could see where someones arm might get tired if they were painting something big. All in all, for the price, It's a great paint gun.

I basically bought this for spraying primer coats, but it shoots a well patterned spray that I'm sure would work for the finest of base/clear coats. Actually going to order another for backup!

It does not say who made it but the material is all sub-quality MIM or pot metal. Looks nice & breaks easily. Get a different one if you can.

I bought this based on the reviews here. First off, this gun is NOT hvlp. It took many more pounds PSI to spray than what what is stated, both in the description and in the instructions. For that amount of pressure, you are much better off with a traditional siphon sprayer. The tip is too small to spray primer, and would not spray a three part acrylic enamel, without major orange peel. A major disappointment. I returned mine.

I purchased the Neiko 1.3 mm HVLP as a stand in while I replace parts on my regular gun. The gun was not a disappointment. It performed better than I expected, I used it for both base and clear coat applications and it laid down both very well. My only complaints would be the low quality (cheap) gauge and plastic top.

This is a very complete kit, with quality components. My only beef is that the bottle arrived with deep scratches on the face of the bottle. The box arrived in good condition with no signs of damage, this leads me to believe it happened before packaging. I have yet to contact the vender. Other than this, I am happy with it.
