Let’s take a closer look at who Legacy is and explore three of their standout products available now at JB Tools.

Who Is Legacy Manufacturing?

Legacy Manufacturing, headquartered in Marion, Iowa, has been a family-owned company since its founding. With decades of experience in developing quality pneumatic, automotive, and industrial equipment, Legacy prioritizes craftsmanship and reliability. The brand operates with a simple but meaningful goal: make work easier, faster, and more efficient.

Their products span across categories including:

  • Air hose reels and fittings

  • Fluid and lubrication equipment

  • Tire repair and inflation systems

  • Garden hoses and accessories

  • Tool and parts storage

Legacy is also the powerhouse behind Flexzilla®, a brand known for its lightweight, tangle-free hoses. But even under the Legacy name, the attention to innovation is just as strong—balancing form and function in tools that stand the test of time.

Now, JB Tools brings this excellence straight to your garage, shop, or jobsite, with convenient online ordering and fast shipping.

Tired of wasting time connecting your air tools?

Legacy’s ColorConnex system fixes that. The A73456D is a 14-piece quick coupler and plug kit made with precision-milled steel and aluminum. What makes it unique? Each fitting is color-coded by air line system, making it incredibly easy to identify compatibility at a glance. No more mismatched fittings. No more trial and error.

                                       

Key Features:

  • Color-coded system to prevent cross-contamination between pneumatic lines.

  • Durable construction: Couplers are made of anodized aluminum; plugs are hardened steel.

  • Universal compatibility with Industrial (Type D) systems.

  • Includes 6 plugs (3 male, 3 female) and 2 couplers (1 male, 1 female) along with 6 seals.

This kit is perfect for any workspace that uses multiple air tools, especially in environments like body shops, auto repair bays, or manufacturing floors. The color-coding cuts down setup time and minimizes user error—a small investment for a massive efficiency upgrade.

Not all garden hoses are created equal.

Anyone who’s spent time battling a stiff, kinked, or heavy garden hose knows the frustration. The Legacy SmartFlex hose eliminates those headaches. It’s lightweight, easy to maneuver, and designed for serious performance, whether you're watering your lawn, cleaning your car, or washing down equipment.

  • Drinking water safe: Lead-free construction meets EPA standards.

At 75 feet long and 5/8" in diameter, it’s a versatile length for most residential and commercial uses. And unlike many competitors, the SmartFlex line offers superior performance in cold weather—making it a solid pick for those in four-season climates.

This isn’t just a hose. It’s a piece of equipment you’ll be glad to have on hand every time you turn the water on.
