Review on ReelWorks 3/8 Inch X 25' Retractable Air Hose Reel Max 300PSI Hybrid Polymer Steel Construction Commercial Grade by Robert Moloney

Revainrating 1 out of 5

You think I’d learn to stop buying cheap crap. Don’t buy this.

Stripped and snapped 2 different bolts on install. Shows terrible quality. You think I’d learn by now to stop buying cheap crap.To start the hose material is Chinese cheap kink ready hose. I’d be surprised if this lasted 2 years in my shop before kinking or puncturing.Then on install not only did I strip out a mounting lag bolt by hand not even half way deep into the wall, I also pre drilled the dam hole before installing lag bolts. Possibly the worst bolt I’ve ever used in my life honestly.Oh well 3 of the 4 should hold the mount…. I hope. Well upon reinstalling the reel connection again by hand not even finger tight yet the dam mounting bolt for the reel stripped out. I figured no way, maybe I missed the mounting hole and was spinning into thin air, nope I pull it out and it’s got the cheap cast aluminum in the threads from there is stripped out. Not cross threaded at all again I’m using my dam hands and finger not even tools at this point… I honestly think it stripped on removal. Threads just barely held until reinstallation before it fully stripped.I’m pissed I want to return this but it’s already mounted. So annoying. Do not buy. Save your self the frustration. I’d honestly find some name brand used on offer up or Craig’s list before wasting my time with this again.
