This hose is good if you understand that it is a bit bulky and heavy duty....as far as air hoses go. I am happy with the fact that it coils nicely and is easy to handle. It will move much more air than a 1/4 inch hose. That may not be a concern for most people unless you have a long run (like 100 feet). This Goodyear rubber is good quality. I have a 1/4 inch plastic/poly one... which is fine, also.
