What size air hose are you using?

[brans87]

Curious what size air hose most you guys are using with 60 gallon and up air compressors? I know most tools use 1/4 fitting so guessing most will say 3/8 line.
Curious to see who and why is using 1/2 line here.

3/8 is fine for any sane use.. I've never had a need for 1/2", blasting, any tool, etc...

only time I have needed bigger then 3/8 is for my 3/4 impact wrench I use on crank bolts that won't come off . Your one of the guy's I wanted to hear from before buying another air hose for garage.

Did you really ask us about the size of our hoses?

at least he didn't ask about our rope

3/8" = reg stuff.

big air tools like 3/4" impacts and up = 1/2"

I also switched to these style for more flow rate http://www.devilbiss.com/products/a...ns/air-fluid-quick-detachable-hose-connectors

yes hose you use in garage for air tools not the one in your nightstand

Thanks sweet yes I use 3/8 95% the time and on my nitro cat 3/4 impact you need 1/2 but damn it breaks it loose but fittings are not cheap for it.

I just got a few high flow 1/4 fittings but plan to get least another 6 for the garage. Should see bs we have at work makes you laugh like wtf are they thinking.
