THE DESCRIPTION IS WRONG! The hose ends are 3/8" NPT not 1/4" NPT. Read my review for more.
By Anonymity ;) on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2024
READ BEFORE PURCHASING! I recently purchased this because it was on sale at a lower price. I need a heavy-duty reel that will keep up with daily use. The reel and the mount are heavy gauge steel which is great. No cheap plastic! The hose is 3/8" made of a hybrid soft flexible material. The issues I ran into are that the description is WRONG! It reads that this model: L815153HA (which is not listed in the main top description but listed down below the pictures and description). It indicates that it has 1/4" NPT fittings. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! The L815153 might have them, but not the L815153HA. The hose itself is 3/8" yes, and so are the ends! If you plan to connect this using the described 1/4" NPT, you will need adaptors to do this. Also, there was no indication that a hose was provided to connect the reel to your compressor. It does come with a connection hose. Bottom line, I am giving 5 stars based on price, construction, and quality. I just got it and set it up. I used it a couple of times. Time itself will see if it holds up to daily use. Even though the description is wrong, it seems to be a good product. I mounted mine to my compressor where my old one was. The mount is adjustable so you can set it up at different positions, enabling it to mount just about anywhere. Hope this helps.

Very hard to install
By Oorah on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023
The instructions say "You will need to purchase appropriate hardware for mounting your new reel". Which is fine with me. The problem with this unit is that you can't detach the mounting plate from the reel, and the reel gets in the way of a drill or driver. It is really, really hard to attach the mounting plate to anything, because there's just no way to drill a pilot hole for lag screws. If I were to do this again - which will never happen because I will never buy this brand again - I would lag bolt the mounting plate to my cross beams (such as 2x4s) and lag screw the whole unit to the rafters. It helps a lot to unreel the hose so that most of it rests on the ground during the overhead mounting, but it's still a massive, massive pain in the ass. Look for a unit that has a detachable mounting plate.
