I bought a new compressor that came with the hard PVC hose and it's a pain to use. I bought two of these Goodyear hoses and this is what all compressors should come with. No more struggling with trying to uncoil a hose to use it. Somehow the name Goodyear makes it a "Good Experience" when I use my compressor now. Buy one "or more" if you are using a PVC hose that came with your compressor. You'll be glad you did!
