Great upgrade for Craftsman air compressor

This hose is great and maintains its flexibility in a range of temperatures. It gets pretty cold during the winters where I live and my garage is not insulated. The stock plasticky hose that came with my 10 year old Craftsman air compressor was starting to show its age and was becoming very stubborn and difficult to use whenever the temperatures dropped below 60 or so. It's dropped below zero a couple of times and I have had zero issues getting this out to air up car tires etc. It does have a slightly lower maximum rating, at 150 psi, but I don't plan on using it for anything that high of pressure.

So this air hose is pretty great, it has good high volume flow the ...

So this air hose is pretty great, it has good high volume flow the ends are sturdy and have protected covers and the hose is relatively easy to maneuver. It claims to not have any “memory” and it doesn’t ...exactly have memory but it does fight you a little this way or that but only when it’s pressurized.. it does lay flat with pressure or without but because of the intertwined fabric in the hose it does try to roll one way or the other when inflated and that is kind of a memory to me .. but all in all it’s the best air hose I’ve used usually i install a 3-6 foot leader of either coil hose or 1/4” contractor air hose for added flexibility and havnt had any issues it is extremely useful when you have to weave your air hose through several obstacles on the job site

Phenomenal products

Once I made the switch to Legacy for my high pressure air (and water) needs, I have never looked back. I have never regretted a purchase. This is one of 3 air hoses I have from them and they just plain work as advertised. I also have two hose reels from them (one for air, one for water) and they are terrific and add so much value in terms of time savings. No leaks, no kinks, frustration free. Cold weather performance is exceptional (have used their hoses in temperatures approaching 0°F with no issues whatsoever).

I love this hose!

I love the flexibility of this hose! Even when pressurized, you can easily coil it up into about a foot diameter loops. The only negative I can think of is that the fittings are plastic, you have to be careful to not over tighten them. I always use teflon tape on air hose fittings and felt I was in danger of breaking or stripping one of the fittings when I had a small leak. I redid the fitting with heavy duty teflon tape and the leak stopped (as determined by soapy water). In spite of this, I still give it five stars... it's far, far better than the stiff, inflexible hose that came with the compressor, and at $12 it's a heck of a bargain.

Gets the max SCFM from your compressor.

I had a problem where my compressor wouldn't drive my impact wrench properly. I could hold the socket and pull the trigger and the wrench wouldn't move. However, I was able to hook that same wrench up directly to my compressor without a hose, and it was much more powerful. I don't have any tools to measure it, but it felt to me that the flex-zilla 50' hose with the same fittings from my OEM 1/4" hose, gave me the same power output from my impact wrench as it did with no hose at all. I love that I'm getting my compressors intended power with a simple hose change.

Tried a few other hoses FLEXZILLA is what you want, don't waste the time, gas, frustration get a FLEXZILLA you won't be sorry :)

I finally have a garage! Many years of apartment living or homes with a shed but no real room for stuff I wanted like a compressor. I got the compressor and picked up a hose from a local big box store, the hose was a major disappointment, it kinked up and felt FROZEN wouldn't bend fold flip or anything, so I returned it and looked at their other choices, well the choices were about the same, the guy who worked at the store said check out Flexzilla, he had one at home himself and it worked great for him. So I came home googled flexzilla and found this on amazon, figured worst case I return it too, but I am very happy to report it arrived and from the moment i opened the package I KNEW that guy was right. The hose feels wonderful, has no real "memory" or stiffness, I laid it out easily on the garage floor rolled it up to a length I wanted on a hook next to my compressor and it looks like it has been there for years, no funky memory or kinks or resistance, just goes where i want how i want it and feels really nice. I would not hesitate to recommend this hose to anyone, I got ends on it and started using some power tools that same night, having a compressor and a quality hose are just two really nice additions to finally having a garage, the only thing I don't get is why do all these tool places (box stores) carry such cheapy yucky hoses, heck this was only about $8 more than what I bought and returned which to me was pure junk, it maybe green but its GOLDEN in my book, love this flexzilla glad the guy at the box store told me about it.

I love this air hose

I love this air hose. I'm going to buy more of these in different lengths and get rid of all of my orange plasticky pieces of **** hoses that wrap and curl and twist with air pressure and without air pressure. I opened the shipping box in my living room. And the fun started. From the start at unwrapping this hose behaved differently. It was docile and stayed in position when place on my carpet. I laid it out straight on my carpet down the hallway from living room to back of house bedrooms. It didn't protest and stayed put. I then coiled the air hose up and went to the garage. Time for air pressure testing. I outfitted the hose with fittings and plugged an end into my air compressor. I attached an air blower thing to the other end. Figured I could blow some dust around while checking out my new hose. I opened the valve and and watched the hose fill with air. And here is what it did. ** Almost Nothing ** It swelled up in diameter with the 130lbs of air I sent its way. And that was all. It didn't twist itself into tortured coils that could only be unwound with a lot of effort and swearing. This hose barely moved. So then airblower attachment thing in hand with hose I moved around my garage blowing dust out of crevices, nooks, and occasional crannies. The hose offered no protest throughout. I am more than impressed with this air hose. I'm completely convinced and sold. I'm changing out all of my air hoses to this brand. And hey, I didn't receive squat for this review. Nothing. Nada. No handouts. I bought it outright. Now if the manufacturer wants to send me more stuff to evaluate then that would be cool.

I have used this brand for years!

I have had the 3/8 size for years.however a lot of home compressors only have 1/4 outlet pipe so a 3/8 hose is a waste.I got some of the 1/4 inch hoses and absolutely love them.they take a lot less space on the shelf and I have not seen a difference in air output cfm.look at your compressor if you have a 1/4 inch outlet only get the 1/4 inch hoses match to your air outlet size otherwise you are wasting space and money!I have a castair 20 gallon compressor single phase v twin cylinder that is rated at 8.4 cfm @ 100psi.And this 1/4 hose has no problem keeping up with my dual action orbital sander.these use cfm any body man knows this.my Hutchins hustler also has no problems running on 1/4 hose.these hoses are highly recommend quality products!

Very Flexible In Cold Weather!!

I know I haven't owned it very long, but I immediately took it for a "test run" because it was 30 degrees outside. The hose performed well in the 30 degree weather especially in comparison to my Lowe's Kobalt hose. That's not to say that the Kobalt hose hasn't been great, it just really sucks in cold weather unlike the Flexzilla. That hose did not have any issue of stiffness in the cold weather and it held air. What more could I ask for? The only question I have, and only time will tell, is whether or not the soft material will hold up with my rough usage. I don't have slick concrete floor and I use it outside a lot. I tend to get my air hosed snagged on tires and other objects and rather than being smart, I get lazy and try to free the snag up by pulling. I also use this outside on my pavement driveway which is abrasive and I step on them a lot. If anything changes with how well it holds up, I will try to remember to come back and edit. So far though, I love this thing!
