Review on VIAIR (00016) 6-Foot Portable Compressor Air Hose Extension by Andrew Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Salvaged hose with bad gauge

I bought a blue ARB ARB605 blower with gauge and braided hose that turned out to be a disaster. The cartridge did not stay on the tire nipple. I had to hold it with both hands and it still leaked. To solve this dilemma, I purchased a 6 foot Viair portable compressor extension hose (00016) that had a male schrader valve on one end and a female schrader valve on the other end that threaded onto the valve stem. I used the ARB adapter from the kit I had, Craftsman 11pc. Air Compressor Accessory Kit 16391 with Teflon tape. I then tested it on all four tires on my truck. It was inflated and deflated to match a Legacy TH0308 2-inch right angle chuck and bleeder tire gauge, both 40 pounds at center. Update: People buy these and resell them on Ebay for more than double the price here. It seems like an economic opportunity, but not ethical enough for me.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • old
