Review on BluBird Air Hose 50 FT by Ryan Hadden

Revainrating 4 out of 5

very light compared to standard rubber hoses but also tangles and kinks more easily

I found this pneumatic hose to be lighter compared to a standard rubber hose of the same pressure rating as advertised. However, the thinner version has the disadvantage that it buckles more easily than a thick-walled hose, even under pressure. The price was very reasonable so I took a chance on its durability which only time will tell. The fittings were removed and attached directly to this hose as the middle of an approximately 60 foot long hose, with short lengths of standard weight rubber hose at both ends so that it would be subjected to the same wear and UV exposure conditions. the unusual case where EXCLUSIVE use of the hose requires it to be carried and dragged over uneven ground, gravel and rocks and rubbing against trees and other obstacles during use.

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • not strong
