I hope this company make 4 feet or 5 feet length hose with same fittings. This way, the connection area( air feed side ) won't scratch cars bumper area. Overall, this is good quality hose for my mini air ratchet.

GOODYEAR 46544 3/8-Inch by 25-Feet 300 PSI Rubber Air Hose With 1/4-Inch MNPT Ends and Bend Restrict

GOODYEAR 46544 3/8-Inch by 25-Feet 300 PSI Rubber Air Hose With 1/4-Inch MNPT Ends and Bend Restrictors
  • Solid Brass End Fittings: 1/4-Inch NPT (M)
  • Spiral Synthetic Yarn Reinforcement and Abrasion-Resistant Rubber Outer Jacket
  • Bend Restrictors Prevent Kinks Near End Fittings
  • 100% Made and Assembled in the USA
  • 10 Year Guarantee

After using this hose with my framing gun for a few weeks the Campbell Hausfeld quick release valve I had bought broke and I had threaded it in with Teflon tape for a tight seal.

While trying to get the valve off, the hex nut on the hose stripped and I couldn't get a good grip on it again. I chalked it up to crappy brass and decided I'd go with another brand, Porter Cable.

Just got the Porter Cable delivered and as soon as I opened it the difference in quality was pretty clear. The Goodyear hose is thicker (more rubber around the chamber), more flexible, has nice anti bend sheaths at the ends and just feels like a quality product. In comparison I almost mistook the Porter Cable as the wrong size because it is so skinny, which tells me that the rubber is thin. The hose feels stiff, almost like a PVC, though it's clearly labeled as rubber and it stank to high heaven when I opened it.

The Porter Cable was $4 less than the Goodyear and looks to have the same fittings but already feels cheap in comparison.

Time will tell but to be safe I'm ordering another one of these with a better quality quick release.

So in short, I'd recommend the Goodyear hose, just be careful when attaching or removing valves. It's worth it to have a properly sized, quality crescent on hand but even then, easy does it. The metal is a bit soft and strips easy so it loses a star there. If you can get around that this is a really nice hose.

Quality construction, lifetime warranty (save your receipt), air hose. I had no problem attaching fittings to the Brass air hose ends. This product is not made by Goodyear, a second party licenses the brand name and makes this air hose.

This is way better than your average hardware store retail hose.

Mine does not see heavy usage, I expect it to last a long time.

If mobility is a big consideration, this hose might be kind of heavy.

I expected premium quality, and got it. It's being used in a retractable air hose spool in the garage. While not used daily, this hose should easily last 12-14 years, if not more.

Well there is a phrase I would never have thought I would say. This is a nice quality air hose that is rated @ 300psi. I also purchased the 250psi version that has a little smaller outside diameter. The increased OD of the 300psi hose makes the hose a little more difficult to handle. By no means is this a deal breaker, but for light use I would recommend the 46504 or 46501.

Alton AT01101P-1 1-Gallon Portable Pancake Tank Oil-Free Air Compressor

Alton AT01101P-1 1-Gallon Portable Pancake Tank Oil-Free Air Compressor
  • Alton portable 1-Gallon pancake oil-free air compressor
  • Perfect for air-brushing, inflation, stapling and other tasks
  • Small tank size allows for convenient portability and storage
  • Plastic shroud prevents excessive heat, easy-to-read gauges provide precise control
  • Compact design, Flip-up cushioned handle for easy transport

Note;

There was a card in the box stating this was actually a Central Pneumatic compressor. The same kind you get at Harbor Freight.

I bought this to replace an aging MF1040 that I use on the trail to air up. Purchased a power inverter to run this in the Jeep and thought I was set. No way. This thing took just as long as the small infaltor, didn't try running air tools, but could not imagine this being able to run them well at all. It emptied the tank immediately and ran the whole time. Returned to Amazon.

Coils nicely but stretches out when needed, this product was easy to use when working on soffit repairs. Delivering enough air to get the job done without kinking, would recommend highly.

It's ok and is what it is. In retrospect, I think I would have been better off just sticking with the straight hose.

I was pretty irritated to find a warning on the label indicating that this product CONTAINS LEAD. I have little children around the house so I can't have this hose. I'll be returning it. Warning: "THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS, INCLUDING LEAD, KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS AND OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING."

I'm very disappointed that Amazon doesn't disclose warnings like this in their ads.

Ampro A2570 5 Piece Air Coupler Set Brass, Milton Type

Ampro A2570 5 Piece Air Coupler Set Brass, Milton Type
  • Contains 1ea: 1/4 Female Air Coupler, 1/4" Female Connector and 3ea. 1/4" Male Connector

I installed these on a 3/8 hose. I used tape on the threads and there are no leaks around the threads. However, there is an air leak from the coupler. The male end does not fit snug enough into the coupler. If there is any lateral pressure on the connector/coupler, air leaks from the coupler. For example, when I connect the hose/coupler to the male connector in the end of my Ingersoll Rand 2130 Impact Driver, the hose must hang straight down from the tool. Any slight tug or slight pull on the hose, and air leaks from the coupler. This must be a problem with the coupler (not the connector), since I have no problem with air leaking from the coupler connected to the tank.

The are nicely made and finished. No jagged edges and they fit well my other air compressor accessories. One good thing about this kit is that it includes an adapter with a female thread. I had bought an air chuck that came with a male thread, so I needed this kit and the female thread adapter to fit the air chuck to my air hose, which also has a male thread. Another kit that is sold here did not include an adapter with a female thread, so that one is useless to me. That other one was also made of steel, unlike this kit, which is made of brass.

I like that they give you males and one female, which you might need if you're building a hose.

I've had cheaper generic steel ones that leak air, but these seem to fit perfectly and don't leak.

Want Ampro A2570 5 Piece Air Coupler Set Brass, Milton Type Discount?

Bought a compressor and a couple of nail guns in a kit. Wanted to add an oil/moisture filter/separator on a more substantial and longer hose than came with kit. Needed a few quick connects to make it all come together. Selected these. What a disappointment. The male and female with thread configuration did not work correctly with the air flow on the o/m f/s. Had to get a nipple and coupling to make it work. Now the configuration is several inches longer than it needs to be. This is tolerable if I pay attention to what I am doing. The worst issue which is intolerable is the leak rate between the coupler and my nail guns. The fit snaps on well but requires very careful positioning when I set the gun down to stop the air leak. I would not recommend these for any userunless your favorite sound at the job site is hearing your compressor run constantly, they leak that badly on my Porter Cable guns.

Can't use at all. Totally defective. Sliding sleeve does not slide. Dangerous. Poorly made. No quality control. First attempt to put together would have let manufacturer know it was bad. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I have had at least two of this style clip on chuck in the past. This one does not grip the valve stem well enough. I have made some attempts to bend the spring/grip for more force but nada. The rest of the chuck is quality and it seals well enough if you hold it on. I have a valve adapter I need to clip into this and so, for me, this chuck is a disappointment; especially when I add the price of shipping to the cost of getting it. I should have bought local but wanted to skip the driving around time.

I can't recommend a good one but look for a gun metal (blue or black) colored spring/grip. It may be better steel and so more springy and grip more firmly.
