Somebody please tell me what air hose to buy. There appear to be three basic materials, rubber, PVC, and “hybrid”. I’m looking for a 50’ 3/8” hose for an upright mobile oil-less compressor we use for airing up tires, nailers, and occasionally an impact and air ratchet. The hose we had was stiff, especially when it’s cold, and hard to get to coil up. I think it’s PVC.
I bought a hybrid that’s really flexible. It rolled up nice and neat on the hooks, but when you connect it to the compressor, it twists up BAD. So, I unrolled it thinking if I rolled it up while it’s pressurized it would lay flat. Nope, same twist.
Do I need to get the rubber? I’d love to get a reel but just can’t swing a good one right now and I refuse to by junk.
