An air hose is an air hose Not so fast. Having owned several commonly manufactured air hoses; several of which ultimately needed replacement, I decided to try the premium (more costly) maker of an air hose.
First observation is that the hose crimp attachment hardware is considerably longer and appears considerably stout. The internal O-ring housing - the point where my commonly manufactured previously owned hoses failed - appears robust and deep seated. The exterior hose sheathing is indeed a reddish color which is of value to me with hose management I have Grex green, Sparmax redish as well as No Name black hoses.
A little tape on the threads, finger tighten, listen for leaks and Ill report back in a year. I think an air hose should last about that long.
