The advantage to this Goodyear hose is that it is made out of industrial
grade rubber instead of vinyl. What that means is that when you are
using it instead of being stiff like vinyl it remains soft and flexible,
so it lays flat on the floor. This is especially a problem in colder
temperatures. It's great for coiling as well, it doesn't fight you.

The real frustration of using a vinyl hose is that it can stand up while
moving across the floor, high enough to snag on things, or even pull
something onto the floor. The hose is in a coil, then instead of simply
uncoiling, the vinyl has a memory and wants to look more like hoops
moving over the floor.
This hose comes in 3/8" which is the most
popular size. The 1/4" hoses restrict air flow, which is especially
important over a 50 foot run.
All in all highly recommended. The advantages are worth it even if it was twice the price.

A cheap airhose (made from PVC, usually) is a pain. They stay coiled
when you uncoil them, and stay straight when you coil them. A high
quality rubber hose makes a huge difference. It sounds trivial, but it
really makes managing hoses easier. When I'm in the shop, or out on a
job I want to be able to run the hose out quickly, and coil it neatly
when I'm done. A high quality rubber hose like this one makes it easy.

My Goodyear hoses have been in service for a long time and are tough enough to last for many more years.
I also appriaciate the fact that it's made in the USA.

One extra tip - lay out your hose, then connect it to the tank. If you
connect it to the tank when it's coiled, it'll fill with air and be
harder to uncoil
