Long hoses tend to lose more air pressure. You will find air compressor hoses varying between 6 and 50 feet in length.
Only choose a longer hose if you have to work in conditions where the distance between you and the air compressor is significant (for example, if you’re working on the roof).
A shorter hose is a better option when you need as much pressure as possible from your air compressor. For instance, it would take a long time to inflate a truck tire with low pressure from a long hose.
