Works great. Recommend for home use

After looking at several of these, I chose this one for two main reasons:1) 15 feet longer than most (65 feet vs. 50 feet)2) the mounting arm swivels nearly 90 degrees side to side - providing the mounting options I needed.I installed it onto my residential garage horizontal wooden beam support. The mounting bracket on the reel has three holes in it. I wanted to use all three (because I "over do" everything), but I couldn't easily get a wrench onto the center hole bolt while I was holding the reel up, so I just used the two non-center bolt holes. The two bolts are plenty strong, but I mention this just as an FYI for anyone who wants to do all three. If someone was helping me, I am sure I could have used all three holes. But it was too difficult for me to hold the unit up and bolt in the center hole. If Goodyear is reading this - if you made the swiveling mounting bracket fasteners into the plastic reel housing removable and replaceable, I could have removed the bracket from the plastic reel housing, installed the bracket to my garage's horizontal wooden beam, then reattached the bracket to the plastic reel housing as a simple one person job. But I would definitely buy this again.

It seems sturdy and retracts with decent force. It came with two large bolts and anchors. Additionally the hose is very flexible.The only issue I found was that it didn’t automatically wind itself properly and would favor one side of the spool. I had to pull it out a few times to get it to spread the hose across the spool correctly. Because it’s enclosed in a case, it won’t completely retract if hose winds only on one side.

My main reason for buying this was I felt it would look good in my garage. I’ve used it a couple times now and am very pleased with the quality. The hose feels durable and the reel is smooth as can be. It comes with everything needed to attach to an air supply and mount to the wall or ceiling. I used some toggle bolts for mounting instead of the bolts and anchors that came with it since the provided anchors didn’t work with my paneling.

So far, so good. The reel holds plenty of pressure for my needs. Was pretty easy to install on the wall, but was a little heavy getting it in the right place.I wish it had rollers on the sides as well as top and bottom. It would recoil easier when having the hose at a 90 degree angle to the reel.

Wow-the hose on the reel lays flat on the ground. It is supple and high quality. I love the 65 foot length of this reel too. When you go to mount this on the wall you will need some 2" or 2 1/2" lag bolts with washers. I used 5/16" diameter. You can put three bolts into the one vertical stud and it will hold nicely. Note that you will want to remove 2 set screws from the unit to get the bracket off before mounting. This was the trickiest part of the process since there were no instructions. In the first photo you will see the two holes near the top and the bottom on the side casing. Remove those and then pull the plastic plugs out. Install the bracket to the wall and then remount the unit onto the bracket by putting the plugs back in. Replace screws.

Everyone with a negative review fails to understand exactly what this is. It simply winds the hose onto the wall for you. You have to guide it to ensure that the hose doesn't bind up. You do that and you'll never have a problem. You want a reel that auto aligns the hose you'll need to spend more.
