Last summer I plumbed my whole shop for air. I ended up with a total mis match of air hoses and I got to learn alot about them. First, the cheap HF are not worth even trying. Many leak right out of t

I got one of the generic Chinese retracting 50-foot ones at a swap meet several years ago, and and it has been a joy. It leaks a little bit in really cold weather, but that is not a problem in practi

In my opinion, a reel doesn't fix the right problem here. I was in your boat for years, until I finally put a loop of copper lines in my 2.5 car garage last year. I could kill myself for not doing it

That first one is the one I bought. With my luck, if I went back I'd probably grab the same one I returned a few weeks ago, just in a new box LOL. As far as plumbing the "shop" for air, I think I'll
