I bought 2 reels of 8mm about 6 months ago, its splitting everywhere and the inner has seperated from the outer yellow sleeve and is bulging like mad when i un plug the pole. I bought a 50m reel of air hose from local pneumatics place about 3 years ago when i started and its still going strong and was only about £30, i think the 100m is £50 and you can have it in any colour. I know what im going with next time!!!
I bought mine from Varitech three years ago. It is made by Nobleair. I though it was a bit of a rip off at the time but three years on its still as good as new so I was wrong to be so judgemental.I have every reason to believe it will last at least another three years and this hose is worked very hard every day.Buy the best and it works out cheaper in the end.
Bought mine from Gardiners, still going strong after 10 months.
