These are nice systems for running air hoses for those of us who have home garages. I think I know what I'm getting when I get my first my house

IMO seems like overkill for a home garage. Seems like they're marketing their nifty fittings, but functionally, it doesn't look any different than just running air lines overhead. I have a pretty big garage and an auto hose reel I bought from Costco, along with 2 25' hoses with quick-connect fittings. Works just fine for my needs. There are a lot of other things I could use more for the same money. An overhead vacuum system, for one, as well as a powered exhaust port and hose so I can run the car with the garage sealed.

I just used pvc pipe to run my air from a room next to my garage through the ceiling and cut a hole for a hose reel in the attic.

Yeah, up at my shop where I do all my Q work, they have stuff like that all aorund the shop...

but they have a 10hp compressor with a 100 gallon tank...

pretty neat, but how much is it anyway?

you can always run the lines through the walls in your house though:D

I think you need compressed air on tap anywhere in the house. never know when you need to improvise a *****in' squirtgun or a flamethrower!

They put that on HORSEPOWER TV, they installed it in there shop. Looked like it worked pretty good but you need a decent sized shop not a hole in the wall. Not to mention the big compressor they had hooked up to it.
