Anybody, use these much. I was looking for a lightweight rubber hose for my neighbor and ran across these. I picked up the Kobalt 1/4 by 100 ft hose for 40 dollars. It is extremely lightweight and very flexable. It has a little memory from being coiled up so tighly but all in all they seem very nice. It seems as if a lot of nail gun users like them. Not sure about the durability of them but they seem alright. Also the small size along with long runs could reduce chuck pressure a good bit at high air loads. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with them? They seem perfect for light duty home applications.

Don't know what material mine is made of. Its a Flexzilla by Legacy, 3/8" ID, 300psi. Been using it around the house for tires, swimming pools etc..... Can keep the compressor in one spot and the hose is a hundred footer. Its nice and flexable and a bright neon-green, can't miss it when its laid out on the driveway or lawn. Very easy to roll up and throw in the corner. Can't recall where in the heck I got though.
I recommend it.

I use the flexcoil coiled urethane type in the shop to operate machines and blow guns, they are a lot better than the coiled stiff yellow plastic ones.
For a coiled hose, this stuff is the bomb - check the reviews. I have both a 25 and 50 footer and love it. A coiled hose that doesn't kink or get twisted bass ackwards! The yellow Chicom stuff all fails:

For non coiled, I've had good luck with Goodyear Pliovac - even HF sells it cheap.

I have 4 polyurethane hoses, they are great. I even have a polyurethane garden hose.
Well, i picked up a 100 footer from Lowes. It is there Kobalt brand. Seems really nice but does have some memory left from being curled up in the small box. If it relaxes some I think it will be awesome. Im thinking maybe i should have got the 50ft hose as it is a little difficult getting it to lay nicely.
