This is possibly the best air hose we’ve seen. Light polyurethane construction takes the bulk out of it, meaning easier transport, but it’s super tough and will not kink or crush, no matter how you abuse it. Rubber hoses become difficult to maneuver when the temperature drops, but this one’s light and flexible even in temperatures below zero. You can’t see inside rubber hoses, but this one’s translucent enough to let you see if you’ve got contaminants in the line. If you’re running a pneumatic tool, you ought to be running your air through this.–Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Only used it a few times now but the hose is soft and flexible and winds pretty good. The fittings have spiral hard plastic protective jackets on the hose end, unlike in the picture. I won’t buy a heavy rubber hose again.
The 1/4″ air hose is so light and easy to work with on all air tools – you will never go back to the 3/4″ rubber hose again. Any time that you are on a ladder or reaching over your head – you will feel the difference.
I almost had to give up using air tools as my elbows would ache badly after a day in the shop. I tried this hose hoping that the light weight would reduce the drag, and it worked like a charm! I also put swivel fittings on all my air tools, and the combination of the two products has reduced to zero the excess strain.
The hose is extremely durable, and has handled constant pressures up to 120PSI without flinching. I have never had a problem coiling or uncoiling it in any temperature, and I can store 2 hoses in the space of my previous one.
All in all, I’m glad I switched, and highly recommend this hose.
True this hose is remarkably lighter and more flexible than you’d expect, but these are overall improvements to rubber. They just take a little getting used to.
I’ve been using this for a few months and the lighter weight and more flexable hose compared to conventional shop air hoses has been very nice in my home shop.
