At JB Tools, we carry a wide range of RapidAir products, including some must-haves for serious air tool users.
Why RapidAir?
RapidAir has built a reputation by focusing on one thing and doing it extremely well: air distribution. Their products are engineered to solve common air system challenges, from tangled hoses to pressure drops, making them a favorite among mechanics, contractors, and industrial users. What sets RapidAir apart is their dedication to quality materials, smart design, and ease of installation.
Their systems are known for being scalable, adaptable, and durable. Whether you're installing a single hose reel or setting up a full-blown air distribution network, RapidAir's components are designed to work seamlessly together. You can expect consistent airflow, minimal maintenance, and a tidy, professional look once everything is in place.
RapidAir R-03050 Dual Arm Auto Rewind Hose Reel
One standout product is the RapidAir R-03050 3/8" x 50' Dual Arm Auto Rewind Hose Reel. This isn’t your average hose reel. For starters, it comes with a dual-arm design, which offers extra stability and durability—a big upgrade over single-arm reels that can wobble or twist under pressure.

-
Heavy-duty steel construction ensures it stands up to regular use in demanding environments.
-
The auto rewind feature saves time and reduces hose wear by retracting smoothly and securely.
-
3/8" inner diameter and 50-foot length give you plenty of range without sacrificing airflow.
-
Comes in a bright blue finish that not only looks sharp but also makes it easy to spot on the job.
This hose reel is ideal for anyone tired of fighting with tangled hoses or manually winding them up at the end of the day. Mount it to the wall or ceiling, and you've instantly upgraded your workspace with better organization and convenience.
RapidAir F0215 3/4" x 3' Compressor Jumper Hose
Connecting your compressor to your air system might seem like a minor detail, but it can make or break your setup. That’s where the RapidAir F0215 3/4-Inch 3-Foot Compressor Jumper Hose comes in. It bridges the gap between your compressor and the rest of your system without introducing unnecessary pressure drops or weak points.

-
3/4" inner diameter handles high air volume effortlessly.
-
Rated for 200 PSI, so it’s more than capable of handling industrial-level pressure.
-
The 3-foot length makes it easy to position your compressor without awkward bends or stretches.
-
Built with durable, flexible materials that resist kinks, abrasion, and temperature extremes.
This jumper hose is a small piece of the puzzle that plays a big role in the overall efficiency of your system. It keeps everything running smoothly from the get-go.
RapidAir K93217 3/4" NPT Filter Regulator
Clean, regulated air is essential for the performance and longevity of your air tools. The RapidAir K93217 NPT Filter Regulator (3/4") is designed to make sure you get just that. It's not just a filter or a regulator—it's both, in one compact and rugged unit.

-
Integrated filtration removes particulates and moisture from the air stream.
-
Built-in pressure regulator allows you to set and maintain optimal PSI levels.
-
Designed for 3/4" NPT fittings, making it compatible with a wide range of air systems.
-
Ideal for preventing tool damage and maintaining consistent output.
This unit is especially useful in environments where varying pressure levels or moisture could cause problems. With the K93217, your tools are protected, and your results are consistent.
Putting It All Together
One of the biggest benefits of choosing RapidAir is how seamlessly all their components work together. You can start with a single product like the R-03050 hose reel and gradually build out a complete system with compressor hoses, fittings, manifolds, and filter regulators. Everything is designed to integrate, which means fewer compatibility headaches and better long-term performance.
Here’s a quick example of how these products might be used together:
-
Connect the F0215 jumper hose from your air compressor to the main distribution system.
-
Install the K93217 filter regulator to ensure clean, consistent air for all your tools.
-
Add the R-03050 hose reel at your primary workstation for easy access and quick cleanup.
With just these three components, you've covered some of the most important aspects of any compressed air setup: secure connection, clean air, and hose management.
Durability Meets Simplicity
Another reason people stick with RapidAir is their focus on products that last. You're not going to be replacing these parts every year. From the powder-coated steel on their hose reels to the reinforced construction of their jumper hoses, every detail is built to handle real-world use.
Installation is also refreshingly simple. You don't need to be an expert to get things up and running. Many of RapidAir's components come with clear instructions and intuitive mounting options, so you can get back to work faster.
