Not sure what professional-grade air hoses go for today. I don't buy them very often and didn't do a lot of research before buying this one. It looks to be very well made and better than the ones I used to use at the corner garage back when they offered free air.....remember those days? The end fittings are of good quality and put on straight. It's a joy to finally get rid of that hard plastic coiled headache I've been using. If I need another, I'd buy this one again.
