I believe these are the newer (I), (M), (I/M) auto plugs even though it came with a ball bearing coupler. It doesn't tangle easily like a cheap hose even if its piled in a corner.The plugs are not the rounded (T) edge type and did not work with my older drill. I didn't believe this thin hose could handle 150 psi let alone 300. After I connected it to my compressor it worked like a charm.
I would think other higher volume air tools might has issues. I have been using this for a couple of month now, maybe about once a week. I don't know how to describe it but every other loop on the roll is twisted the opposite direction and when is un rolled no untwisting and getting rid of kinks. I did figure out a way to roll it up that does make it easier to unroll so that you don't have to also untwist it. Pros:-Nice and light, doesn't take much to drag it compared to most other air hoses.-Pretty easy to roll up, it would a real pain in the but to roll a normal hose that's 100 feet long.-Does snag on corner or leave makes on walls.Cons:-Easy to kink compared to a normal air hose, but that is kind of expected-Like all air hose no the most fun thing to roll up-Does not stay rolled up to well is just left on the floor and you try to pull a few more feet out of the roll.-if steeped on and there the pressure in the line is not high its easy to close off the line.I hope it wears well, which i think it will as long as its not abused. In my case usually being used with air nailers and staplers which there is no no problems will.
A new polyurethane hose should be stretched when new until you can hear the reinforcing fibers breaking. I am happy with this purchase. Thanks Amazon for a great product. This will allow it to be coiled up easier without it twisting. Amazon had this hose for less $$ than anywhere else that I could find. It is of high quality and the included couplers are a definite plus.
I bought it as a backup and it was put to use when a connector on my craftsman air hose failed. The price was a small amount more than the 50 foot one. The air hose lays well and seems to be well constructed. I paid $28.56 with free S/H for the 100 foot air hose.
Highly recommended and I fully intend to purchase a couple of 25-foot lengths of this same hose for use inside my little 14x20 barn/workshop as soon as I can find someone who carries that size. The included 1/4" fittings appear to be high quality and I couldn't be happier with this new hose. I bought this because I needed a longer hose for my compressor for a new project. This is one fantastic hose that's not only much easier to handle than my old 25-foot Goodyear hose but amazingly seems to weigh even less despite being four times the length.
