ArmorBlue DEF Hose Reel: Solid, but Not Quite Superhero Status

I recently purchased the ArmorBlue 50' DEF Hose Reel for use in my auto shop. Overall, I'm satisfied with its function, but there are a few drawbacks that prevent me from giving it a higher rating. On the positive side, I appreciate the versatility of this reel. It can be mounted on the ceiling, ground, wall, or even a tote. This makes it easy to use in any space and with a variety of vehicles. The 3/4" hose is also a nice size for efficient transfer of DEF. However, I did have a bit of trouble getting the hose to fully retract onto the reel. It kept getting stuck halfway through the process, which was frustrating. Additionally, the reel itself is a bit bulky and not the most attractive piece of equipment to have on display in my shop. All in all, the ArmorBlue DEF Hose Reel is a solid choice for anyone in need of a DEF transfer system. It may not have superhero status, but it gets the job done.

Pros
  • Made from high-quality materials, the DEF Hose Reel is built to withstand the wear and tear of daily use, and provides a reliable and long-lasting solution for dispensing DEF fluid
Cons
  • High maintenance costs: The complex mechanism involved in retracting and unretracting the hose could lead to frequent repairs and maintenance. This means that users may face high costs associated with repairs and upkeep
