    What is wrong with plain concrete?

    I don't see anything wrong with plain concrete, I have plain concrete in my shop, Use a little floor sweeping compound, Oil-dry, & wash it out every once in a while.. I just cant justify the cost, I would much rather spend that money on tools or go-fast parts!

    What kind of air hose?

    I like the GoodYear rubber hoses as well, I do have 2 tips 1. Keep them away from hot steel or you will get a hole :) 2. Buy 2 right off the bat & save one for only painting especially if you are using on auto oiler
