Tools and Hardware Reviews of GoodYear 045 3/8-Inch-by-50-Feet Safety Yellow Rubber Hose 3/8 -Inch by 50-Feet 250 PSI With 1/4-Inch Ends
Customer Review: Best hose you can buy at a great price.
Summary: 5 Stars
You can buy cheaper hoses but you cannot buy better. Spend just a few cold days fighting a cheap PVC hose and you will become a believer in rubber air hoses. Avoid the frustration and buy a good rubber hose right off the bat. While a little more expensive, rubber hoses are more flexible and much easier to handle than PVC.
This GoodYear hose is the best I have used and Amazon's price is unbeatable. The hose is rated at 250psi, is built of very high grade materials, is abrasion resistant, and oil resistant. Best of all the hose remains very flexible even in colder weather. (Goodyear typically tests their hoses at 4 times the rated working pressure so this hose will most likely handle more pressure than your compressor will.)
I tried the PVC route when I got tired of dragging my old hose between the house and garage. While looking for a new air hose all I could find was PVC, so I bought one. After spending just a few frustrating days trying to deal with the very stiff springy coils, I decided enough was enough and ordered this hose from Amazon. The hose coils nicely and is easy to pull behind while you work. The rubber hose lays flat with no springy coils to snag on studs, joists, or saw horses.
I am very impressed with the quality of this air hose. This is a great air hose at a great price. I highly recommend this hose.
Customer Review: Don't scrimp on air hoses.
Summary: 5 Stars
The advantage to this Goodyear hose is that it is made out of industrial grade rubber instead of vinyl. What that means is that when you are using it instead of being stiff like vinyl it remains soft and flexible, so it lays flat on the floor. This is especially a problem in colder temperatures. It's great for coiling as well, it doesn't fight you. The real frustration of using a vinyl hose is that it can stand up while moving across the floor, high enough to snag on things, or even pull something onto the floor. The hose is in a coil, then instead of simply uncoiling, the vinyl has a memory and wants to look more like hoops moving over the floor.
This hose comes in 3/8" which is the most popular size. The 1/4" hoses restrict air flow, which is especially important over a 50 foot run.
All in all highly recommended. The advantages are worth it even if it was twice the price.
Customer Review: Just what I needed. Fair price.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a high quality hose for 1/4 inch connectors. For the price, you get 50 feet of high quality hose, but no connectors. You'll need to get them elsewhere.
The threaded ends on this hose are beveled so it makes for a great seal. I don't know, but that may be standard for pressure hoses. If not, then it's a great feature.
I think this is a great hose, but it may be a little thick for my little compressor. I'm afraid, because of the weight and strength of this hose, that I run the risk of breaking the connector off on the compressor. Also, because of the thickness and volume of space within the hose, hooking it up to my little compressor decompresses the tank quite a bit. If I had to do it again, I would probably purchase a thinner hose. None the less, this hose performs excellently and I'm confident that it will last me my entire life.
Customer Review: Bought one about 20 years ago, now buying another
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a homeowner and use this for jobs around the house (I've painted, sand-blasted, run air tools, blow guns, and filled tires). I've had this hose (3/8" x 50' Goodyear yellow safety rubber hose) and a same-size Goodyear Pliovic all the time. I typically leave this hose hooked up and pressurized all the time and I leave the Pliovic hung up on the side of the garage, unpressurized, and hook it up only when I need an additional 50' run.
This one's been my favorite, is very easy to coil and uncoil. Recently, I noticed my compressor cycling on once a day and it appears this hose finally started leaking. I'm tossing it and I'm here to buy another one. Over the years it's picked up dust and grease and I've used various solvents to clean it. I can barely make out GoodYear. I hope my new hose holds out as long as the old hose did, which was 20 years.
Customer Review: Quality hose at a great price!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After researching several air hoses and reading a number of positive reviews about this one, I ordered 2 of these in addition to the one 25-footer that came with my Porter-Cable combo kit. The hose is of high quality and because it is rubber, is much easier to work with than standard air hoses. The 50-foot length is perfect for most jobs around the house, and lays flat even in colder weather. It comes ready for quick-connect fittings to screw right on, so don't forget those. I would suggest the Porter-Cable PAK253 17-piece accessory kit, which has 2 sets of quick connects, in addition to many other useful air fittings.
All in all, a great value. And at this price, it pays to order two and get the free shipping, which took less than a week. A definite no-brainer for me!!!
