The air hose snapped when I was putting air back in the tires after I put the chains on. I always wanted an air hose that is flexible, the size is 1/4 inch, which one of these would retain its shape in cold weather. http://www.lowes.com/SearchCatalog?...1&storeId=10151&N=0&Ntt=air+compressor+hoses#!
Zap, I have one of the pre-coiled plastic (pvc?) hoses for the workshop just for the work bench area and I've got to tell you that anything after about 6-7 feet of reach on the line, it acts more like a spring that a pre-coiled hose. If you're in cold weather (garage, etc) I would recommend a higher quality rubber that stays flexible.
I have one of the polyurethane 25-ft Blue Recoil Air Hose in my garage and can attest to these selling points. Retains flexibility in all weather conditions Retains its shape and resists tangling
Thanks for the help, I ended up going with the 25 foot Blue Recoil Air Hose. I fixed the old one so if anything goes wrong with the new one, we're covered.
+1 on the flexzilla hoses (hybrid PVC/rubber) and for coil hoses, go polyurethane, the nylon ones are garbage!
