CO2 air tools

I got mine at HF. it was less than 4 dollars. I use it at 160psi routinely.

I'd get a nicer one though, powertank had one reasonably priced the last time I looked.

I will definitely have a disconnect on the tool side of the hose, but do you also have one on the tanks side of the hose, or is the hose always attached at the gauge?

I looked at the powertank hoses and they seemed really overpriced. I was hoping someone could steer me toward a cheaper alternative. I'm a cheap-a$$!!! I bought my tank with CO2 in it for $40 and my regulator from a friend for $25. So, I really don't want to pay an equal amount for a hose

Is your air hose 20 or 25 feet? Any suggestions on length?

You can get a section of straight hose and do it that way.. a few folks in the club do that.

If you want to cheap it out, try the HF one. Mine blew up near the end once and it was easy to fix.

I have a disconnect at the tank so when I bring it in for a refill I take off the hose. I would guess the hose it 20 feet stretched out........

I'm looking for advice on what type of hose to get for my new CO2 setup. I've got a tank. I just got a regulator. Now, I need a good coiled Air Hose. I've seen cheap ones, but I'm uncomfortable with the higher pressures (160 PSI). Should I look for poly hose with braiding? Is there a brand I should go with? Any advice is appreciated and if you have links, even more so.

Also, do you use quick connects on both sides of the hose, or just the side for the Air Tools?

Thanks...I'll finally be able to air up after a run now!!!

I use a coiled hose from Sears, with quick disconnects added.

Quick disconnects on the tank and the end. The HF may hold up but in colder weather they barely stretch and become really hard. I have the Power tank one and it stays soft in the cold and that is after 5 years. Don't go cheap but don't overspend, try sears like mentioned before. Oh and 25' works pretty well on my 4Runner.

I got http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200342894_200342894 from Northern Tool and it is fantastic. Its SUPER quiet. I have only used it on compressed air, but I am extremely happy with it (Northern Tool not so much)

I bought these S&K impacts from sears for a great price.
The 3/8 impact came with a full socket set.

The 1/2 came with the flip sockets for lug nuts and it claims 700 ft/lbs of torque. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00919331000P?keyword=sk+air+tools
Both tools plus high quality sockets for less than one gun of other brands. Happy shopping, Art
