ReelWorks Hand Crank Air Compressor Hose Reel (L201303A) - No Hose Included Review

There are no videos, no pictures, no instructions showing how everything comes with the right set of brass fittings and is ready to go. I would pray to return it and get my $70 back. with him did not show that he was connected and ready to go. I ordered a Revain brass fitting when I bought the reel, but it only helped me halfway. I am very disappointed with this purchase and my attempts to find fittings to hook it up to my air compressor. I also received an extra hose to connect the drum to my…

well this thing actually works pretty well if you find out for yourself. The installation section states that you must refer to the application to be built. Applications NO. You're on your own, so it would be better if you were a little accommodating and adept at understanding things without much help. I needed an additional 3/8" to 1/4" adapter to connect the main hose to the swivel fitting. I also had to manipulate the hose from this fitting around the crank handle to get it through the hole…

Solid 4 star product. Fairly durable - have been using it for a few months now with a 100ft air hose with no problems. Two small things why I deducted 1 star. 1) I would like the arm that bends to have a larger angle to allow more clearance between the coil and itself. If you coil a 100 foot 3/8 hose imperfectly and without overlap, the hose will rub against this lever. I suspect that if you use a hose larger than 3/8th you will run into even more serious clearance issues. 2) The included…

I bought these two air hose reels (50ft and 100ft) for extension hoses that kept getting dropped on the garage floor. They were easy to assemble and easy to attach to sheets of plywood which I can carry around or hang from a peg. I also added 3 inch swivel pigtails to the air intake to make it a little easier to assemble. Because I'm old and they're a bit heavy with the hose, I can attach hooks to the plywood to hang them on the wagons when I move them. I used Baltic birch plywood and applied a

AMAZING hose reel. Instructions/how-to videos on YouTube do NOT show the difficulty of installing the hose. I used Flexzilla 3/8 hose. It might have been the unwieldy 100 foot length I was dealing with, but the way they suggest installing the hose in the video is unrealistic. Tightening the hose will preload your hose with a twist that must be removed before it is wound onto the spool. On a 100 foot roll it will be a PITA to take it out. In addition, a strut at the anti-buckling end of the…

This reel comes with a 3/8" female to 1/4" male adapter that can only be used if you add another sleeve. (Hence rating 4 stars instead of 5.) You will need these two adapters to set everything up for standard 3/8" compressor hoses, all NPT.1.) 3/8" to 1/4" fitting . (3/8" Female to 1/4" Female) - This fitting is the hose from your compressor that feeds the drum. 3/8" on the reel and 1/4" on your hose. (Yes, a 3/8" compressor hose has 1/4" NPT ends.) 2.) The 3/8" male thread and 1/4" female…
