Cheaper hose but the retracting mechanism works great. Like it enough I ordered 4 to have one in every area of the shop. Always buy open reel so you don't have retracting issues.
Wall mounting wasn't all that difficult. Immediately attached it to my air compressor with no leaks. Hose is easy to extend and retract. Very happy with the purchase and now it's easy cleanup.
I put it up in my garage and I like the way it pivots in any direction when I pull the airline. Retracts nicely. Seems pretty solid. The mounting bolts and metal sleeves are subpar and kept pulling out so I used different fasteners.
Opened the box, installed on garage truss, and it works as it should. I would like the supply line to be 10' instead of 5' to reach the air compressor on the ground. Just being picky. Overall, works well.
Works great, multiple mounting options are a plus. Not a professional-grade reel, but perfect for the homeowner. You wont find a better hose reel at this price point.
Great hose reel. My last one lasted me about 15 years before the locking mechanism broke but the reel still worked. This seems like a durable product but i only installed it a week ago. I do use my tools pretty hard and this is no different.
