Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had purchased a new Chicago Pneumatic 3/4" impact and needed better CFM air flow than is provided by the 1/4" NPT 3/8" hoses that are most common. My only 1/2" air hose was 25' Goodyear "Red" hose and connected a small sandblaster, so I needed a second one for proper performance from my new 3/4" impact tool - and longer for my large home garage use. Of course, I also purchased new couplers and fittings to keep that flow high on my new 1/2 " air hose. I found the 3/8" x 1/2" NPT Dixon Air Chief Industrial I needed were in stock at Amazon, and purchased all of them I needed directly from Amazon to complement the new 1/2" air hose (the 1/2" hose purchased through Amazon from Buzzard Gulch Inc). I also purchased a new 50' 3/8" x 1/4" NPT air hose direct from Amazon at a great low price - too low to pass by. Both hoses arrived on the same day and in very quick order using standard shipping.
The lower prices here kind of made it a one stop shopping adventure at Amazon - one that saved me some cash! As for the 1/2" GoodYear air hose, it is Goodyear's yellow premium hose, and you can expect it to outlive the GoodYear red hoses and all of those by cheaper manufacturers. Okay, it also offered me exactly what I needed in my garage at a lower price than my now 10 year old Red GoodYear hoses - and the hose also came with quality brass 1/2" male hose ends that were well protected and undamaged. There's only one thing that bothers me, the hose looks so good I just have to wipe it clean to keep it from showing dirt, even though it is oil resistant - and I then roll it back up every time I use it. It has me hooked on that pretty yellow color. This is the 1/2" Yellow higher quality 300 PSI certified working pressure hose you would expect from GoodYear. The Yellow just shows dirt the good, but lower quality, Red GoodYear hoses (rated 250 PSI working pressure) don't show as well.
Here's a tip:
Use a swivel fitting snubber hose between your large air hoses and all tools - your large air hoses will last longer that way, and the swivel fitting snubber hoses often make tool use much easier. I found and purchased the 1/2" x 8' Legacy ZillaWhip here at Amazon to complement my 3/4 impact, and to make this new heavy Goodyear hose easy to work with. Enjoy the best, and ignore the rest.
