Cordless nail guns use a butane like gas canister and a battery for combustion. When I used a nail gun on a roof to fasten the decking down I always asked how good the compressor was. I flat out smoked a few old compressors back in the day. Once you get the rhythm down I could burn threw a 100 nail coil in less than 2 minutes.
All my nail guns had 4' whips and swivel fittings.

When I recently needed a right angle die grinder I asked my tool guy if there was a whip available.
He had something called a 'Flexcoil' from www.coilhose.com that exactly filled the bill. A very flexible polyurethane hose with brass connectors at each end.
Combines a coiled hose with a non-coiled section at each end so you're not fighting with the coil when you're twisting and turning the air tool to get into tight spots and yet get the other benefits of a coiled hose.
I think the one I got is 5 or 6 feet overall length and works like a charm. The hose material is really flexible and the working pressure stamped on the hose is 145 psi.
