Air hose H E L *

Speaking of Harbour Freight, they sell Genuine 50 Ft. Goodyear Rubber Air Hose. ...

I meant to add that, too. It was a great deal, and one of the things I remember when people tell me that HF is nothing more than cheap Chinese crap.

I use the Goodyear hose and it's great. The other brands are like fighting a
slinky when it's below 60*

Nothing like rolling 50 foot of hose on a hanger at waist level. So many loops. So I moved our hangers to arms reach up. 4 wraps gets rid of the 50 foot hose and those pesky extension cords also. I figure 8 the 50 foot acet hoses on the cart.

I have used them all. My favorite is the non-maring type Made by Senco. It uses barbed push in connectors. The 1/4" is the lightweight champ for nail guns and staplers, The 1/2" when you need more volume. Light weight, strong, smooth surface stays relatively clean, and coils easily. Does not get super stiff when cold either.

I have several reels. The one in the second pic is kind of hard to beat at Walmart for 50$ hose and all.

Good use of a computer monitor arm.

I bought 2 of the Walmart reels, not good in the cold and the hose could be better bu for the price they are very handy and easy to mount. I have 4 other manuals and they are fine, the blue one was HF and under 20$ but I added the ring around it.

Hey Guys, thanks alot for the advice. It just goes to show that there really is more than one way to skin a cat.

I think im going to make myself a reel. I actually need two. One for inside and one outside. I have to re plumb my compressor though. Right now my regulator is mobile and floats between in and out. Its a real PITA now that i think about it so Im going to plumb the reg into the line in front of all my outlets. Then my regs will be safe indoors and I can rest easy.
I leave the rig outside and I know that if I dont change it, my units gonna go for a walk some night and get lost...

Anybody built there own rigs?

As for zen... nah nah nah naaaaa. noo noo noo noooooooo.....

Dosen't home depot or some store like that sell the self coiling ones or the hose reels. If you have a shop you can create an inline air system that is a bunch of steel pipe bolted on to a wall that is hooked up to an air compresser with quick couplers atached to the steel pipes.

thats what i have now. its direct from the pressor and the reg moves around. I have to modify this system a tad... I'll be making or finding hose reels after that. Air hose still sucks..
