[Shop-talk] question about cheap air compressors

[mark at bradakis.com (Mark J Bradakis)]

Avoid the plastic hoses if at all possible.  They are cheap, but the one 
good feature
about them is they are cheap.  If you live somewhere that never sees 
temperatures
drop below 70 F you might be okay.

Out in the garage I have a Goodyear rubber hose that I've been using 
since about
197?  It does have an end fitting that is starting to leak, I'll fix 
that when I get the
super dooper crimping tools from my sister.

Try to keep your hoses, whatever the type, out of sunlight.  UV is bad 
for them.
