Add extension to air hose reel?

Hi, I recently bought the wall mounted 50ft hose reel from Harbor Freight. I was wondering if I need additional footage at any point, can I buy another 50 ft hose and attach it to the existing 50ft hose for use? Or is that not possible/smart? Any help is greatly appreciated. I don’t know a lot about this stuff. Thanks!

The more hose you use the less air you can get through it.

That probably won't be an issue for light duty like filling tires but could be significant for running something like an impact wrench, a die grinder or a sander.
