Although I'm new to air hoses and air hose reels I've spent quite a bit of time (4-5 hours) just by researching and reading reviews about different brands and their problems. On closer inspection, one might think that some of these designs or assemblies overlap with other brands manufactured (which I suspected too); Diablo and some others have almost the same reels. Because of this, I had to go beyond what was typical of most polypropylene suitcases. Because of this, I was more interested in the quality of the tubing itself and its ability to retract easily (i.e. spring mechanism). My thoughts on the hose are that it's quite strong, holds up well, and flexes in colder temperatures where most people don't want it to. Second, the outer shell of the hose is made of a material that feels like it doesn't hold dirt well. I mention this because over time dirt will build up on the hose itself, prematurely stress the spring mechanism, or simply not coil well. It's been great for the last 2 weeks of use and I really like it, but I'll report back in 6-12 months or if anything happens sooner to detail how it went.
