Excellent Product

This hose reel is nice and compact. Its very light but very durable. I would highly recommend this to anyone with space constraints or to someone looking for something of high quality for low cost.

hose is stiff and kinks, all manual, not what i expected

2008-02-06
the unit is well made. there have been no air leaks. the blue air hose is very stiff and non-flexible; not at all like my rubber air hose which is very limber and will lie flat. this air hose retains it's spiral shape and will not lie flat, as such it will kink and bend back on itself, making it very hard to handle. it easy comes off the roll, but only if being pulled straight, it binds when pulling at some angle. i thought there might be some spring loaded take-up in the reel. there is not, all manual in letting out the air hose as well as re-coiling on the reel. you have to guide the hose to line it up for an even roll, otherwise the hose goes willy-nilly in an uneven manner. it does take effort and time to coil up the whole length, that is where i wish there was a take-up spring to assist. if this reel had a more flexible hose, easier to handle i would rate it at four stars. if it had a spring assist, then five. i also wish it had a gizmo like on a fishing reel where it would guide the hose back in for an even coil-up instead of the random, hose goes where it goes approach.

Yes, order a 3' whip hose now...

CH quality, well made. I like the way the whip hose connects to the frame - the intergal hose connection to reel. As per description; this is the reel & hose only, you will also have to order brass connector kits. (Do not forget the teflon tape)

The hose reel is everything I expected. It works very well.
Only one suggestion. Give the option to buy with or without the hose.
Vinyl hose is adequate at best.

just what was needed

2007-07-19
I needed a low cost solution to keep air hose handy for occational airtool use and tire inflation in the garage. Looping hose around a garden hose caddy was o.k when I was done using hose, but kids would just toss it 'close' on the floor. This hose reel works great, It's connections are tight with no airleaks in the 6 weeks that it has been in use. Kids find it is easy to wind on the wall mount, not to mention the included 50 ft air hose allows easy tire inflation out in the driveway.
great price for a great product. Don't forget to include additional connectors as the hose and reel do not include these. Campbell Hausfeld MP292000AV 1/4-Inch Series 2-in-1 Style Connector

No connection hose

The reel seems to be a high quality product. The price is good except that I had to purchase a 25 foot length of hose to connect the reel to my compressor. All I needed was 3 feet but I could not find a source to purchase a short piece of hose.

Great hose/reel combo.

Everything I'd hoped it would be. Mounts easily, the reel turns smoothly, the cable is solid, and when you unroll it, it comes out nice and straight; it doesn't try to loop or coil back upon itself, like some hoses seem to.

For those complaining that it doesn't come with a hose to connect to a compressor, well, it's not like it claims that it does! Sure, it would have been nice if it came with a 3-5 foot connector hose. But if you have a compressor, you probably already have a hose that can be used to connect to this.

NO CONNECTOR

Good product, but DID NOT come with hose needed to attach reel to compressor and no where did it mention that.

Appears to be a quality unit and will solve the issue of those terrible coiled cords that come with most compressors, but be aware this unit does NOT come with the hose you will need to attach between the reel and the compressor. This should be mentioned somewhere!
