Thanks.
Nah, what you're seeing is a bunch of folks who'd love to be helpful, but are floundering desperately, because you haven't given them a clue!
So, what the heck is an HD2000?:?
(Google shows Sennheiser headphones, among a stack of other things that go by that part number.)
Give the folks here some serious info to work with, and you'll vastly increase the chances of getting a serious and helpful answer.
Substitute "string" for "hose" to see how vague the OP was:
"I'm planning on buying some string. What sort should I get, and how long?"
Cheers,
Andrew
I found that just enough was in fact enough and one more would have been too many however I would have been one short if I had one less :D
It's a compressor, see link,Quote:

- How many air tools/gizmos do you have, how many do you plan on using simultaneously.
ETC
Might help us if you tell us what you want to do HD200Renegrade, save everyone guessing :rolleyes:
OK, I've got 4.
1 long one (reaches all over the shed, or out of the shed and about 2/3rds of the way across the yard)
1 short one (reaches to all the common places it's needed, but doesn't coil all over the shed floor like the long one)
1 on a retractor reel ($40 from K-mart. How could I resist?)
1 cheap, nasty, crappy thin spirally thing that came thrown in for free, that I only tend to use with the airbrush, on account of its light build.
They've all got compatible connectors, so I can hook them end-to-end in various combinations if needed.
Some folks take the approach of having one hose (or set of hoses) for oiled air, and a separate set for oil-free air.
One of the most useful things I made is a double-adapter from a T-piece with an inlet and two outlets. Saves the disconnect/connect dance (it helps that all the vibrating tools have a hose "tail", rather than the connector screwed straight to the tool).
Cheers,
Andrew
20m or so lenths...
This is very frustrating. :rolleyes:Quote:

Renegade, it's not that we're picking on you, it's the little bits of info you are giving us.Quote:

We can't really give you anything till we know what you have or planning on having.
For example a framing gun will work on 30 mt of hose but not 60mt (these figures aren't exact just grabbing figures out of the air for comparison)
I also found your question a little odd, Renegade. I use a compressor all the time for a range of tools. If you want to solve all of your problems at once, buy a 50 metre length of 12mm hose and roll it onto a reel. That should solve all of your problems.
In a way, your question sounds like: "I've just bought a new generator, how many extension cords should I buy?"
By the way, I've used a Renegade in the past, they're good. Good luck with it :D :D :D
