Review on πŸ¦’ Giraffe 3/8 inch x 25 ft Rubber Air Hose with 1/4 in. MNPT Fittings - Heavy Duty, Lightweight Compressor Hose, 300 PSI by Justin Boisvert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No memory? I laugh. this thing doesn't even turn around!

After 40+ years of happily using Goodyear rubber tubing I have decided to branch out and give this a try. It was neatly wrapped in the box and looked and felt inviting, really soft and pliable. But within 2 minutes it was a ball of spaghetti on the floor. I've tried wrapping it left and right then straightening everything and trying again. It's so malleable and so persistent in returning to its original size that it struggles to simply wrap it around the compressor knob. The photos show a few tries and spaghetti and then a dry run with yellow Goodyear tubing on top. just to prove I didn't suddenly lose my hose reel skills. Back, I'm waiting for the Goodyear hose to be back in stock.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Good but not great
