This is a quality hose... I have only had it for 2 months so check back for an update
Great buy!:
This was a great buy but I'll know more about it after we get into the depths of winter and the cold Nebraska temps. This hose appears to be pliable enough at this time to be workable in the cold temps though.
Great hose for the money:
I had bought an air hose at a local (mega) hardware store and it not only looked cheap but felt like rigid plastic. I saw this hose on Amazon.com and since my compressor was Porter Cable as well, figured I'd return the other and purchase this one (actually $5 cheaper even with shipping). I'm not disappointed. It's made of a softer rubber, feels heavy duty, and comes with the Porter Cable name. What more could I ask for.
works but too stiff:
Bottom line is it's working, but I have to make the coil shaped hose straight all the time. The rolled hose catches air guns and other stuffs on the floor. And makes the flooring staple gun down on the floor all the time and leaves a mark on the wood floor. It's even worse on cold temperature. Porter-Cable needs to make it more flexible.
