Re: 1/4 Or 3/8 Air Hose
I prefer 1/4 but in the cold weather we usually run a 3/8 line first from the compressor. I think it takes longer for the 3/8 line to freeze.

Re: 1/4 Or 3/8 Air Hose
speaking of hoses does anyone know where to get the gray Senco 1/4" hose. That is the best hose I have ever had. never gets stiff when it's cold rolls up nice and lasts forever.

Re: 1/4 Or 3/8 Air Hose
1/4" for everything.
Swivels on my guns. Use rubber hose from compressor to roof (to take a beating; moving around, having trash dumped on it, being stepped on, rolled over, etc...). From the eave up, of course I use Polyurethane Hoses.
