Tools and Hardware Reviews of GoodYear 045 3/8-Inch-by-50-Feet Safety Yellow Rubber Hose 3/8 -Inch by 50-Feet 250 PSI With 1/4-Inch Ends
Customer Review: Bought one about 20 years ago, now buying another
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a homeowner and use this for jobs around the house (I've painted, sand-blasted, run air tools, blow guns, and filled tires). I've had this hose (3/8" x 50' Goodyear yellow safety rubber hose) and a same-size Goodyear Pliovic all the time. I typically leave this hose hooked up and pressurized all the time and I leave the Pliovic hung up on the side of the garage, unpressurized, and hook it up only when I need an additional 50' run.
This one's been my favorite, is very easy to coil and uncoil. Recently, I noticed my compressor cycling on once a day and it appears this hose finally started leaking. I'm tossing it and I'm here to buy another one. Over the years it's picked up dust and grease and I've used various solvents to clean it. I can barely make out GoodYear. I hope my new hose holds out as long as the old hose did, which was 20 years.
Customer Review: Quality hose at a great price!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After researching several air hoses and reading a number of positive reviews about this one, I ordered 2 of these in addition to the one 25-footer that came with my Porter-Cable combo kit. The hose is of high quality and because it is rubber, is much easier to work with than standard air hoses. The 50-foot length is perfect for most jobs around the house, and lays flat even in colder weather. It comes ready for quick-connect fittings to screw right on, so don't forget those. I would suggest the Porter-Cable PAK253 17-piece accessory kit, which has 2 sets of quick connects, in addition to many other useful air fittings.
All in all, a great value. And at this price, it pays to order two and get the free shipping, which took less than a week. A definite no-brainer for me!!!
Customer Review: Good airhoses are worth a little extra money
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: This goodyear hose ~ IS NOT GOODYEAR !

This goodyear hose ~ IS NOT GOODYEAR !
I just got off the phone with a goodyear rep who told me there is a knockoff company if FL.. Somehow they use the name goodyear, but the real goodyear will have a TM (some kind of symbol) between the good and the year..
I own this hose.. I called because my new compressor says rubber will not hold up to synthetic compressor lube.. Unless it is over 36 percent nitrile.. I cant seem to find anything about this hose in tghat respect..
Guess I will keep trying.. If it were a goodyear hose I would have had my answer.. The real hoses would probably cost a lot more..
But,
it would have been nice to know what I was buying in the first place..
Customer Review: No go
Summary: 1 Stars
Very disappointed, especially with all the great reviews. I bought two. The hose was fine, but the 1/4 inch ends were the problem for me. On the first one, the threads were slightly off and leaked air. On the second one, the threads were also slightly off, plus the crimp area was leaking. Lost 30 pounds of air overnight. Sent the first one back already and will likely send second one back.
I've since gone to local farm supply store and bought two of the red Goodyear 50 foot, 3/8 inch, 1/4 inch ends. Hooked up exact same couplers, zero leaks, zero issues. Sent other one to my Dad with same couplers. He hooked them up, zero leaks, zero issues. Don't forget to use a little plumbers tape before putting couplers on.
