Review on Reelworks 33Ft Retractable Air Hose Reel With Heavy Duty Flex Hybrid Polymer Hose, Max 180 PSI, Industrial Spring Driven, Polypropylene Case Construction For Superior Performance by Davaun Pritchard

I haven't had it very long yet, but so far so good.The 33' length is a good compromise for my needs. I have a basement workshop that is about 12'x35'. With the reel mounted to the ceiling in roughly the middle, I can reach to all the corners with enough slack to do what I need without having to stress the spring to its max.The spring tension seems good, and the ratchet works well so far. Though I don't expect to do so very often, I did pull it all the way out a few times to see how it does. It gets pretty tight by the end, but doesn't seem like it's about to explode or anything.The hose is fairly small diameter (1/4" internal). Not a bad thing for flexibility and compactness, but if you use high-CFM tools, it could cause restriction. In my case I will mostly be using it just to blow off dust and run air nailers and other low volume tools.While not shown in the manual, you can easily remove the reel from the mounting bracket to make it easier to mount. There is a screw marked with "S" (blue arrow in picture) at each of the pivots. If you remove the screws, the pivots (red arrow) come out and you can remove the bracket. That makes it a breeze to just hold the bracket in place to mark holes, then securely mount it with a drill or impact driver before re-attaching the reel.So far no leaks. :-)It came with quick release chuck, both male and female ends. Also included 3" lag bolts and anchors for mounting in concrete. The bolts are way longer than needed for wood studs and would have come through the floor above even going through the 2x10 mounting block I added, so I opted for some 1 1/2" ones instead which should be plenty.It also came with a huge roll of teflon tape. Holy cow. I haven't used that much on all the joints I have made in my whole life. It says 15 METERS on the label. Makes me wonder if somebody goofed and accidentally gave me a whole roll instead of a small cutoff.The hose seems fine, though it's a bit early to really tell. I figure if it makes it through the first year without cracking, it will probably be good. One potential downside is there is no obvious way to disconnect the lead hose from the outside of the case. Maybe on the inside you can, but I didn't open it to look. The Q&A section says it can be replaced, so hopefully that's accurate. The lead hose is about 3', which was enough for my needs.All in all, I am quite pleased so far. As long as it doesn't start leaking and the spring doesn't lose its tension, I think it will suit my needs for quite some time.
