Using air hose reel for welding leads. Anyone done it?

admin

I really need to do something with my leads and haven't had the time to build some reels for them or wanted to fork out the cash for new ones. I have the chance to get my hands on two air hose reels though. And was wondering if anyone has used them for there leads before. And how you mounted them,seperare,next to each other, or on top, just for yhe reason of how to insulate them from each other if I end up mounting them together. The ones I can get are similar to these just a bit larger. Thank you
Reply:I've seen a lot of them used. Don't connect the leads to the reel but rather stick out a quick connect out the hole. Have a short lead to the machine with the matching quick connect. Disconnect to roll up and unroll.

Reply:Yea that's what I planned on doing. Just had to make sure I didn't need to isolate them from each other for some reason. Didn't think I needed to as long as I didn't physically connect to the reel itself. Thank you
