1/4" will work fine if you go much larger than 8cfm you will want to use 1/2'' hose. When you buy hose, buy rubber if you ever have to use it in temperatures lower than 45 degrees F. it costs a little more but it will stay soft all the way into the negative temperatures!

Ello' ello.
Surely if you know the meaning of a 2hp feed down a 7cfm feed, then you know the answer.
Unless there is a pressure question relating to connections & hoses etc.
I don't need to tell you then.
Why do folks (not neccessarily yourself), poke questions into this site as some sort of juvenial mental test ?
Getting a tad fed up with it.
Any way, with trust, all the best.

The compressor has nothing to do with it. The tool detemines how much air it uses and the size of the hose. The size of the tank determines how long that tool will work and the capacity of the compressor how quickly you fill the tank.

1/4" is standard size. The hoses are measured inside diameter, ID. You can get the parts at most any hardware store and all the quick disconnects, air chucks,air blows etc.

Hose ID 1/2 inch Fittings 3/8 inch Male NPT.
is the common, but it doesn't much matter as long as the fittings match
I.D. = inner diameter
