Pneumatic 15-Gauge 2-1/2 in. Angled Finish Nailer with CLEAN DRIVE Technology, Tool Bag, and Sample Nails

Had this hose for a week now and it lays out better than my 100’ hose. Like the color orange and the protective rubber ends at the fittings. Also like the covering of the hose feels like cloth. Rolls out and rolls up very nicely. If you use your compressor, you want this hose.

I have used about every air hose type manufactured over the years including many in my machine shop. Many claim to have superior features but this hose is probably the best I have used for the handyman. When they say it lays flat they are spot on. Many times I have tripped over an air hose that was curled up enough to catch my foot, this one really lies flat and stays flexible in hot and cold weather. The flexibility is superior and it weighs less than 4 pounds. Great for the job site air supply and easy to store.

This is a great air hose. It would also be better to call it an anit-kinking hose based on the way its made. I have two other hoses that I worry may kink, but not this one. The braiding on the outside of the actual hose looks like it will let the hose lay flat and not kink while dragging the hose around the shop. Now to see how it does when the weather gets cold.

The Ridgid ¼ in 50 ft. Lay Flat Air Hose is an amazing piece of engineering. The design from tip to tip is very different than the standard air hoses on the market. Ridgid has spent a lot of time listening to the users of their products and applied them to this air hose. Both ends sport 360-degree spindles that keep the hose from coiling and knotting up. Both ends have guards that keep the hose from kinking and working in conjunction with the swivels keep the hose lying flat on the floor. The hose makeup is such that it won’t catch on objects in your shop and the fabric design makes for a no marring and lightweight product. i highly recommend this product as a great addition to anyone's shop.

This RIDGID 50 ft. x ¼ in. Lay Flat Air Hose is indeed Ultra-Lightweight, and Flexible. The fittings swivel 360 degrees, though I don’t think that matters when using quick disconnect fittings, which swivel in themselves. The Bend restrictors fit tightly preventing them from sliding back and forth while connecting or disconnecting. This has always been an issue with my old rubber hose, making it a bit of a hassle to push the quick connects together. As for the “Lay Flat” claim, I’m not so sure about it. As the photos below show, it got a bit wrapped up in itself just while coiling it on my hose hangar. As I said, it is Ultra-Lightweight. So light in fact, that the weight of the female connector is enough to pull it down and tighten the coils around the hangar. That’s kind of a hassle for me. To prevent it, I have to connect it to my air chuck hanging on a hook above the hose, which I’m not crazy about. I don’t like leaving tools connected when not in use, and that air chuck will have to be disconnected to wrap it back up (or using other tools). This alone may make me go back to my rubber hose. I don’t know how abrasion resistant the hose will be. The description says its “field repairable, but one might need to keep repair fittings on hand for this to be a benefit. Additionally, there is a warning to discard it if it comes in regular contact with gasoline, so it might be a problem in some shops (not mine). Overall, this looks to be a pretty good hose, but I don’t know if it’s worth the $45 price. And, I would really like to see MADE IN USA.

This is a very heavy duty hose that allows the end fitting to rotate when attached to fittings. I installed this in my shop with my air compressor and i noted that the hose does not bind up like other types of air hoses that I own. It is made of heavy duty rubber type compound and is ribbed for easy handling. It is 50 feet long and reaches most places in my shop.

The Ridgid 1/4 inch I.D. Lay-Flat 50 Ft. air hose is an excellent product. This air hose sports all of the normally found features on today's air hoses like 300 PSI max operating pressure and quality brass fittings but it also has swivel fittings on both hose ends and a real nice woven fabric covering on the hose. I haven't seen that since my first 1980's era air hose that came with my old compressor. Looks cool and feels great! Also this hose really does lay flat when uncurled and ready for use. It's very supple and flexible. Perfect for snaking your way into and around works in-progress. I liked this air hose a lot but it is pricey and for the price I feel that it should have included the quick-connectors already installed on both ends. After adding your choice of quick-connects you will have spent over $50.00. Also I would like to see a 3/8 inch version offered. 1/4 inch air hoses work very well for small to intermediate size air tools but larger tools like framing nail guns, sanders and spray guns often need more CFM of air than a 1/4 inch hose can supply. This hose works great with brad nailers, finish nailers, air brushes and similar devices but don't rely on it for bigger stuff. Overall, this air hose is excellent and even though tools don't have to look good this hose is attractive!

I install flooring, so when the crew gets multiple polyurethane hoses going they seem to always get intertwined. Then, I introduced them to this hose and we all love it because it's not a trip hazard like other hoses. It lays flat and makes the jobsite less chaotic. It's a little pricey, but definitely worth it, so far. Looking into getting a few more.

The Ridgid lay flat air hose is a light weight 1/4 inch 50 foot air hose. The hose has a tough woven outer sheath with 360 degree swivel connections allowing the hose to move freely in use. The hose is kink resistant and tangle free. Both ends are protected by a rubber casing that prevents kinks at the connections to the air supply and at the tool. You can easily roll the hose up without twists and knots. With a maximum pressure of 300 psi, this hose will fit all my needs.

Product is doing well I use continuously all day Warranty What is the main reason I considered there’s a nail gun
