Hitachi 19413F 100-Foot 1/4-Inch Professional Grade Polyurethane Air Hose
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Maybe Its Just Me
Yes, its light and flexible as others have suggested. These are great things to have in an air hose. The fact that its hard to kink is somewhat irrelevant because under pressure, I've never experienced a kink in my regular rubber air hose.
This hose just continues to annoy me though. The big problem is that it wont lay flat on the floor. It will lay twisted and semi-coiled no matter how many times you unwind or untangle it during use. The coils on the floor create 6 to 8 inch "bridges" of hose that you will inevitably trip over, become tangled in, and then curse like a sailor. I cant count how many times the hose has literally wrapped around my foot by accident. I'd bet that 25% of those instances caused me to mis-step or flat out trip and stumble. My good old rubber hose lays flat on the floor and has never caused me an ounce of disgust. And the rubber hose is much easier to re-coil for storage.
This is not an issue limited only to these Hitachi hoses. I've yet...

Excellent hoses
We just ordered two more of these from Amazon (they are significantly cheaper at the moment than the local stores). These are the favorites among our construction company due to the light weight, durability, and the fact that they really don't kink.
For those of you who are just working around the house, any old hose will do. But for those of you in the professional arena, the lighter weight will be a blessing in the 8th hour when you're trying to get those walls up before dark so that you can get paid in the next draw. We stick with the 100 lenght because we are building hotels and such, besides going from the 50 to the 100 is only a few dollars difference and is worth it if it keeps you moving.
Highly recommended
Excellent air hose
This is a great hose and an excellent price. I am a carpenter and framer and use my nail gun all day long, every day. I bought this hose about 6 months ago, it is very lite-wieght and flexible and does not have a single shortcoming. Stretch the hose out in the sun when you first get it and wrap it up loosely each nite to keep it from kinking up. Also, you might want to go ahead and order some universal attachments, as the hose comes with 3/8ths only.
EDIT: Been using this hose every day for more than a year. In that time it has not had a single leak and has performed flawlessly, excellent value.
