Premium Steel Retractable Air Hose Reel With Dual Arm, 3/8"x65Ft Hybrid Polymer Hose, Heavy Duty Air Hose Reel included Auto Rewind Reel | Quick Air Coupler | Durable Double side Frame

Better than I expected. This one is as good as any I have seen build-wise. It is a bit noisy as it ratchets, but that's fine as it locks in and releases perfectly. Hose is of excellent quality. I was going to change the fittings to low-restriction fittings, but these are excellent and less restrictive than some of my old ones, so I think they are fine for my needs. Leader hose is much longer than typical, which is one reason I wanted to buy this one. There are no issues as far as hose rewinding, as the spring mechanism is strong, so I kind of wish I got the longer hose ... I don't think there would have been any problem rewinding it. Looks great and very professional on my wall. Easy to mount and of a nice weight - not too heavy but super-strong frame.

This works great. A few things to keep in mind: 1. As you unwind the hose, you will hear a clicking sound. That means the lock is engaged and you can release the hose without it rewinding. To rewind, just pull the hose until you don't hear the clicking and it will rewind all the way. You may want to keep a hand on it if you have deployed a fair amount of hose just to control the speed. 2. This item comes with the hose coiled around the spool. 65 feet of hose is pretty heavy, so I found that deploying nearly all of the hose prior to installation made the task a lot easier. 3. Installation on a wall is pretty easy as two of the screw holes are key eyes this allows you to screw one of your screws (a top one) into the wall and then hang the unit on that screw while you complete the installation (putting in the other 3 screws. The screws provided are sufficiently robust. 4. The kit includes some pretty thick wall anchors, but I would recommend making sure you catch a stud with at least two of the screws. Loaded, this reel is pretty heavy, and you will be pulling on it. As I mentioned, wall installation was easy for one person. If you plan to mount it on the ceiling you might want to get someone to help you. 5. I mounted this on a wall that my compressor is adjacent to. If you are going to mount this on a ceiling or on a wall that is not right next to your compressor, you may need a longer supply hose. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality and functionality of this reel and the accompanying hose. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

I bought just off of reviews but still I have to say I am pleasantly surprised this hose reel is REALLY well made. I bought this one even though it was a little more than other and now I'm glad I did. The base that attaches to the wall is wider than others and is more stable with 45 bolts instead of just two and the hose is super flexible and high quality. It's really heavy duty and well made. I have it set up in my garage and it's so easy to air up my truck, rttiding mower etc. A+++

You'll feel like you are at a professional auto repair shop when you install one of these. I had the old style air hose that wasn't mounted like this unit and was constantly coiling it up and moving it around. I mounted this to the wall in my detached garage and it's perfect for airing up tires! The recoil action works great once you get used to it. Pull out the hose and give it a short tug and it stays the length you rolled out. Tug it again and walk to the uint and it relies the hose back in perfectly. The hose is of good quality and thickness.

This hose reel is a nice addition to the shop. Plenty of quality hose included and standard fittings for you to customize. 10 feet of inlet hose is also adequate. The hose locks in place and the spring retracts the hose well also. The only suggestion for improvement would be to add a shuttle to guide the hose when retracting. You will need to guide it upon retraction so that the hose doesn't build too much in one area.
