Hitachi 19412F 50-Foot-by-1/4-Inch Polyurethane Air Hose
This hose is excellent for use in my confined workspace. It is light and flexible, and doesn’t kink and it is easy to coil while under pressure. It came with fittings that matched my tools and compressor, and it is very well made.
I use it mostly with brad nailers, staplers and finishing guns and it works great.
I haven’t tried this hose with framing nailers or other high air use tools, but a 1/4″ dia hose may not have enough reserve air capacity to run at a desired speed, especially on long hose runs.
I would buy this hose again. I am no longer tripping over, fighting kinks and trying to coil the larger hoses I have been using.
Longevity will be the real factor but for now these hoses seem durable. The price was GREAT and included fittings already installed. These smaller hoses take a lot less space in my truck than 3/4 inch hoses.
A light, managable air hose. Get it, and you’ll thank yourself the next time you’re on a ladder and you don’t feel 20′ of goodyear rubber dragging your tool down. It keeps a slight memory, so to avoid frustration one should stretch it all the way out at the beginning of use and don’t turn in circles during use.
The only downside is use while roofing. The smooth outer surface makes it slide off the roof deck. It’s not so heavy that you can’t whip the hose back up, but it gets annoying. I’ll break this hose out for steep roofs where the hose will hang anyway, but for the most part, I use the Goodyear on the roof and the hitachi on the ground.
Flexable and is of good quality. Liked the fact it had the correct air fittings already installed. It doesn’t kink or get stiff, flows around corners nicely. We use in it our cabinet shop, better than the one we bought at Harbor Freight. I would highly recommend this product. Would like to find a longer one of the same manufacture’. All the Hitachi products we have in our shop are of high quality. Will be looking for more items from this manufacture’r/.
You just cant beat these hoses. I have drug and beat on them and they just keep on ticking. Even come with the fittings, Bonous!
