In hindsight two fifty foot hoses would be much easier to coil and uncoil. It holds air well and is pliable in all temps. I bought this hose to use my nailguns on a renovation I'm doing on my 180' long storage building, adding garage doors and fiber cement siding. I only have electricity in one part of the building so the long hose made sense.
The red rubber ones are better. This hose works, but it gets tankled and kinks up when you merely look at it. I'm constantly tripping over this thing, and coiling it at the end of a job is unnecessarily time consuming.
The hose is easy to work with and doesn't kink and is easy to roll up.
It is as easy to wrap up as the 1/4" style. I have dozens of the 1/4" hoses but needed a hose to feed multiple guns. We use this item to feed 3 guns several stories up ussing a 3 way splitter.The increased diameter allows mutiple gun operation without the hastles of kinking or tangling.
Is it a great hose. Not at the 2x (or more) the price tag vs. I've used this hose heavily for 1.5 yrs. No. rubber IMO.Likes: Doesn't stretch (permanently), lighter weight, doesn't kink easy, less friction while dragging around objects.Dislikes: more 'memory' and 'springy' than rubber (easier for it to trip you, get caught on things, or twist on itself - a MAJOR safety hazard IMO), price Is it a nice hose. Yes.
