We have moved on and now were lost....
What about your local hose repair shop?? or most of the hire companies here will hire or sell you any amount of 1" hose for a hammer.

Reference your search for 'hundreds of feet of 2in air hose'.

Suggest you check with whoever manufactured your air hammer to find out the maximum length of air hose (and diameter) needed to run the hammer correctly. If the air hose is too long the air flow though the hose will not be fast enough to run the hammer due to frictional losses in the air hose. Using a over size compressor will make no difference, the problem is the hose. Keep the hose as short as possible.
