Air compressor hose question...

[CarFreakGT]

...and probably a dumb one. I just got a small pancake compressor for light duty inflation and some around-the-house nailing jobs. If I get a longer hose for it (it came w/ 25', and I'm considering getting a 50'), will it affect the air pressure/work capacity of the compressor?

nope.

Thanks, rbohm. I didn't think so, just wanted to make sure.

A larger/longer hose will also increase the volume of stored pressurized air.

Thanks for asking, I was wondering the same thing.

leaks will, though. make sure all the connections are tight.
