My air compressor died .  I am planning replacing it with a Bostitch pancake 6 gal compressor.

Anyone have this brand gets good reviews best in the price range I want to pay from my Lowes store. I have not been happy with the cheap hose I have so when upgrading . I am leaning toward the polyurethane hoses but only come 1/4 .  Is it a big deal the 1/4 verses 3/8 diameter.

Reason is from what I have read the polyurethane hoses don't kink and are flexible and very durable. 

The pancake compressor are they as durable as full size or am better off with a full size on wheels.

I will throw in another company as well. I use a California Air Tool and have to say I love it. Been using it for 3 years now and no complaints. I used to have a Porter Cable Pancake and a Craftsman 30 gallon and I dreaded each time I had to turn them on. They are so loud that they could shake the fillings out of your teeth. The California Air Tool is Oil less and less than 70dbls. So quiet you can have a conversation right next to it without raising you voice. 

I picked up the porter cable worked perfectly . l also bought a 50 ft polyurethane hose. Nice hose nice and light and easy to manage. I was easy able to take the hose around  my car as checked pressure and filled tires as needed only one needed air. Pin nailed some beaded panels to make the door that I was working on.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
