Should the swivel be at the compressor/ inlet side or the tool side ?

While dealing with a flat recently the coiled hose on my pancake compressor broke -- picked up this nice blue one at HF yesterday. They will all sort of move / swivel at both connections .. this one has another real swivel on one end. When I dropped off the car to get it's new tires -- I filled up my portable air tank. My local garage has the swivel at the inlet -- not at the tool.

Seems you would want the tool to just swivel -- not have to flip the whole coil. What am I missing ?

I have never used any kind of swivel, just the quick disconnects and have been wrenching for ever.
