Customer Reviews for Flexzilla 3/8 in. x 50 ft. Air Hose with 1/4 in. MNPT Fittings

I bought this to replace a REALLY old PVC air hose I’ve been using for a number of years and used for 10-15 years before I got it. I was expecting it to be easy to wrap, lay flat, and not have a memory. I bought it yesterday and worked with it for about 2 hours just trying to get it to coil, uncoil, stretch across my garage, and put back away again to see how it would work and it was one of the most infuriating experiences I’ve ever had with an air hose. I’ve worked in shops all my life all the way back to my teens helping my uncle restore old cars and never had issues like I have with this hose. Check out the pictures. Not what I expected based on the packaging. I’m returning and buying a regular rubber hose. Maybe I got a bad hose?! Either way I’ll stick with regular hoses like I’ve used most of my life since they just work - even if they are heavier.

Upon purchasing the Flexilla 5/8” (50 feet) hose at Home Depot, I found the properties of the hose to be very good. I like the fact of the ‘O’ Ring being implemented at the female end (faucet connection). The ‘O’ Ring provides a better tear strength with water resisting properties and is not affected by moderate chemicals, oils, and solvents. The ‘washer’ works well but an ‘O’ Ring appears to be much better. Along with the above, the hose is “drinking water safe”, a nice feature in hot weather where one wishes to take a sip. In terms of kinking, I have found no issues in using a hose hanger attached to our home in rolling, or coiling up. All hoses are prone to abnormalities contingent upon the climatic conditions (temperature). We have some expensive hoses and they act in the same manner. Flexilla, being a hybrid hose is surely inline with being a top quality hose, no complaints. Easy on and off threads: ‘no leaks” > nice. Accompanying the preface, anodized aluminum fittings (strong), lightweight (supple), and up to 150 psi pressure rating; more than sufficient. The Flexilla hose carries a lifetime warranty, so there should be not any concern. The company has addressed many questions from consumers, as we stand by their company 100 %. A toll free number is available should any have questions ( 800-645-8258 x 106). Cons: There have been many stating that the Flexilla hose is prone to mold as displaying photos. At this time, as purchasing new, I have not seen mold as yet.

Good price and very durable for use in hot and cold weather.

A must have!! We watched a video showing several brands of air hose performing in snowy conditions (you can't assume you won't need to refill air in your vehicle tires when the temperature drops).

I like it's flexability

I like the flexibility of the hose but dislike the memory of the recoiling. The hose is a hassle to rehang. Disappointed that it doesn’t come with standard quick connect fittings. Seems durable after several uses but time will tell.

Best air hose i've bought to date. I have flexzilla 1/4-in, 3/8-in and 1/2-in hoses, The quality and air flow are great. When coupled with the flexzilla high flow fittings the air tools work like a mule team.

From the standpoint of 'what i'm looking for in an air hose', it's pretty good. However the fact that it's IMPOSSIBLE to coil makes it absolutey miserable, and i'm happily going back to a rubber hose. While I'll likely have to replace the rubber hose every 10-12 years, so what. This Flexzilla is a mess. Love the garden hoses, the air hose is awful.

Very flexible without kinking, especially when temperatures are cold. Bright color will get attention when lying on the floor or ground.

Didn’t no it would kink and twist like it dose when you try to roll or unroll I have an old 1/4 inch rubber hose I put back on was a waste of money.

Product says aircraft aluminum ends but they are plastic. Made in USA from China crap most likely. Waited almost 2 weeks for a horrible product. Do not recommend this product at all. I live over two hours from the nearest Home Depot and make it in to town once a month. Will be returning this poorly made air hose next time I’m in town!

I SINCERELY HOPE WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THE " NO KINKS " SALES LINE HAS FOUND A DIFFERENT JOB, BECAUSE THEY CERTAINLY CAN NOT DO THIS ONWE IN MU OPINION. AFTER 45+ YEARS IN THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A HOSE LIKE THIS.EVEN WHEN YOU STRETCH IT OUT STRAIGHT IT STARTS TO CURL UP. MAYBE I JUST GOT A BAD ONE, BUT I DON'T THINK SO. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE AND BUY ANOTHER BRAND.

Does what it is supposed to do - non-marking, easy to work with/coil and delivers the air. With that said, keep in mind that the quick connect fittings one uses are typically smaller than the 3/8 ID of the hose. So, connect the hose to your compressor without a quick disconnect, and only use high flow fittings if you are going to use the hose as an extension….just my thoughts….

The hose has been working great, but note that fittings are plastic.

Very flexible hose which can be coiled up without hassle.
