Need to buy an Air Hose Reel 50'. Need reviews please.

admin

Just got my air compressor hooked up today and on the market for a 50' 3/8" air hose reel.  I've been looking over the internet tonight and see there are several to choose from.  Any ones I should favor?  I was looking at the Tekton at Tractor Supply.  Seems like a decent price compared to most and plus I can pick it up from my local store.

Reply:coxreels are the best but i couldnt see spending 340 to 620 hundred bucks on a real when my compressor only cost 699.00
Reply:I went with the Goodyear 3/8 50' reel.  I'll let you guys know if it's worth a flip when I get it. One plus about it that I liked was that the fairlead was supported on both sides instead of one like most other brands.  It's supposed to have a really strong spring in it as well.  Thanks

Reply:I got this one from Lowes http://www.lowes.com/pd_336412-47120...=#BVRRWidgetID but haven't had it up long enough to say anything other than it works.  The reviews seem to be mixed but it was easy to install and so far is doing well.
Reply:cheap down and dirty....Grizzly has a hand crank for about $40.00, I have one in my shop and other than I have 100 feet of hose on it and need to spool it on the take up I have no complaints, got what I paid for.I wouldn't put it on a truck though, not designed for it or suitable.
