I have never needed 75' inside the garage. I bought a Harbor Freight
retractable reel with a goodyear rubber hose and it works fine for me, and
at
a fraction of the price...
I, like Tim, also have a windup reel by the outside of the garage for when
I
need to have air outside on the driveway, and I have another huge long
rubber hose coiled up
on a garden hose hanger for the one time I wanted air all the way across
the lawn.
I also have a retractable power cord and a retractable neon trouble light.
I'll bet I got all of the above for less than the price of the one you
linked to...
I also have an easy solution to the pressure fall-off with longer hoses or
1/4" connectors. I have a portable 5 gallon tank that has both a feed
connector and an 8' output hose that I carry to the work. It is between the
long hose that goes back to the compressor and the tool and acts as local
storage or a sort of capacitor. In between the times I use the tool it
recharges back up to full pressure and delivers it to the tool. It is
easier to use than to explain, actually. I don't use it inside the garage,
just when I work outside.
