...and probably a dumb one. I just got a small pancake compressor for light duty inflation and some around-the-house nailing jobs. If I get a longer hose for it (it came w/ 25', and I'm considering getting a 50'), will it affect the air pressure/work capacity of the compressor?

A larger/longer hose will also increase the volume of stored pressurized air.
