Review on DeWalt DXCM012 0201 Premium Rubber Hose by James Salem

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Blow it out before use, a thin wrench will help.

Overall I like the hose but there is one thing I would change. The flat wrenches on each end are about half the height they normally are (see pictures). That's often fine, but I used this hose to replace a hose on a reel and the wrench got in the way of the swivel. So the thin 14mm makes it easy to install this hose. Another thing is that you have to make sure that you blow the hose several times until it is clean (this should be done with every new hose). I plugged in one end, then left the sleeve on the other end and blew my air reservoir through until it blew clean (I blew it against my hand and felt particles fly out, do this at your own risk). I have a small air tank, it probably took me about a dozen flushes before it got clean. Then pull on the clutch and you're done.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Hard to say
