I want a soft air hose so it's easy roll up and work with. My air hose is hard and hard to work with. Is this one easy to work with? Thanks.

This is more pliable than most other hoses I have owned...it really depends upon the temperature in the air when you are trying to roll up the hose. When it's cold <40 degrees it can be a little squirrelly.

The rubber hose is much more pliable so it is easier to unroll and pull about, especially in cool and cold weather. In cold temperatures the plastic hose is very aggravating to handle.

this hose will roll on a reel nicely, pressurized or not, its very hard to kink while using, i drag it around a 43 foot sportfish, to kink it you have to get it caught just right but even pulling seems to free it,DEFINITELY worth the money

I also use my Rigid shop vac (WD1450) with this sander and have had no issues. I did notice that the vac tends to get rather hot after extended use since it isn't able to pull its normal airflow. It hasn't been a problem, just something to note.Getting the right sized hookup can be tricky. Although I found a combination of the smaller hose available in Rigid's auto detailing kit (Rigid VT2534) and a soft rubber step adapter (Fein 921072K13) worked wonderfully. You can probably get a similar hose without the full kit but I already had the detailing kit sitting around.

I found it easy to inflate by mouth but it's getting the thing closed before the air starts billowing out is a problem!! I have yet to get itcompletely inflated..lose a lot of air while trying to close it up.

Not hard at all, the large spool rotates very easily, if you have a lot of heavy hose be sure to drain the hose as you wind to shed a lot of weight. Unwinding is very easy just position the spool to the side you are unwinding from and walk with the end of the hose, you can adjust the unwind action with the clutch so it does not unroll too quickly.

Hi Elizabeth,I think the bristles are too soft. There are two types of bristles on the brush- thin short ones which are fairly soft, and a bit longer ones slightly harder. They sit next to each other but even so, in combination, did not grab my hair and hold it in place. For this reason I returned the brush. My hair is short, thick and curly and I try to straighten every time I blow dry. I have yet to find a good hot air brush that would do the job.

These are pretty tough. I have 1/4" air hose and extension cords on mine. Easy to hang on to wind up with cord coming underneath seems to work best for me. The get dropped, pitch in the truck, and generally handled as utility items. Never had one break. Round one seems more usable to me.

Not sure George but when running at full pressure the hose is pretty stiff. This thing has plenty of power and would do a great job but not sure if the hose would handle that type of work. Maybe you should contact Simpson and see if they make a kit for that or can steer you in the right direction. Bob

Seems like you are asking how flexible the hose is. I have acquired 4 different brands of 4" dust collection has and this is one of the most flexible of them all. I actually prefer polyethylene hose over this PVC one but for the price this one works fine.

It is very easy. There are two tubes that come with it. One for vacuuming and one for blowing. You attach which ever one you want to use. The instructions that come with the unit are pretty simple.

Not really, just your typical plastic hose. Gilmours headline for this hose is "the last hose you'll ever buy" what they mean is the last hose you'll ever buy from them..... Want a good top-notch rubber hose? lightweight and flexible.....try the Legacy Flexzilla. you wont regret it.

Something like this one should work. http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Quality-10-Ft-Braided-Airbrush-Hose/dp/B003Q0VZJ6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1389465225&sr=8-2&keywords=airbrush+hose

I've ordered this product and now need a short hose to connect to my manual vaccum. I think it needs to be "male." I can't seem to find one. Any suggestions?

Only thing I can think of that might create a problem like this is how the hose is attached when fully extended. The drum that holds the hose when rolled up must be rotated so the little gadget on the front (sorry, don't know the official name) that moves side to side when the hose is moving is as far as possible to the side where your hose connect inside the box. Then start the rolling up action. If you don't do it this way, it will be really tempermental

The hoses are flexible, certainly not stiff, but not too soft either. The included gun actually sprays good, I use it for primer but it would probably spray a topcoat ok. I taped the two hoses together to make them more manageable.
