    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 :yes:

    Go with a rubber one, not poly.

    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!
