[Shop-talk] Which hose for compressed air (reel)?

[Brian and Wendy Warrick]

I like to use the Parker Jiffy hose or equivalent. You can find it at your local industrial hose and hydraulic dealer. Alternative Hose or Fluid & Motion Control Products are the dealers around here. It is high quality and lasts forever. You have to get the special fittings that go with it to complete the hose, but I like that they don't require hose clamps. Just puch them into the hose and the hose grips them like a Chinese finger puzzle.

I will second Bob's recommendation. I have some 30 year-old Goodyear hoses that still have not cracked or rotted.

Goodyear rubber is my go-to.

I need to replace the hose in my air-hose reel - 3/8", 50-ft. I don't mind paying for good quality but no need to over-spend either. There appear to be materials options: rubber (or 'heavy-duty' rubber), pvc, 'hybrid', and whatever 'flexzilla' is. Suggestions? What to avoid? Here are some of the options I see:

Thanks!
