Have a few flexzilla lines and I love them, very easy to work with. Shop around for them some will have them cheaper then others.

3/8" x 50' hose $35metalman;24356 said:The air hose looks interesting. Do you have any good sources for their equipment? I did a quick Yahoo and came up with one offering the 35' hose for $75.

When I replace i'm going to get the green prevost. I think its kind of like the flexilla.

I use a 50-foot Flexzilla 1/2" hose with 3/8" T-style fittings for painting because air volume is key. To avoid having the big female quick connect right at the gun, I have a 3/8" Flexzilla whip that I screw to the gun fitting.rustover;34790 said:I hate to bring back an old thread, but I have the same question. I have a new 1/2 flexilla 50ft hose and too be honest I think it may be too much for general use. I put my die grinder on it with high flow fittings, and boy did it wake up. The problem was I could not control the tool like I was use to. I never run the my grinders and cutoff wheels wide open. It would probably work great for impacts and maybe sanders. I don't like the bulkiness of the fitting at the end of the tool as well. Maybe I just need to give it some time and see if I can get use to it. I thought about using a swivel before the coupler, but it has 3/8 fittings.
Would the 1/2 hose be too much for an hvlp gun or would a 3/8 be better?
