Well-made, very handy!

I bought these two air hose reels (50' and 100') for extension hoses that were forever getting dumped on the garage floor. They were simple to assemble, and simple to mount to plywood sheets that I can carry or hang from a peg. I also put 3' swivel pigtails on the air inlet to make them a little easier to gang. Since I'm old and they are a little heavy with the hose on them, I may put hooks on the plywood to hang them on a dolly when I move them around. The plywood I used is Baltic birch, and I put a couple coats of spar varnish on that after I took the picture. It has been a few days since I put these together, but as I recall, they both have all 3/8" fittings. It doesn't really matter. I've gotten a good laugh out of all the shocked reviews of competing products with 1/4" fittings. The pressure drop across a short quarter-inch fitting is totally miniscule compared to the drop along a 3/8" hose, even at reasonably high flow rates, so it makes no practical difference. And most prosumer air tools are 1/4" anyhow.

Had trouble with the item

This was hard to rate. First I really like this reel, well made. The problem was that most of the hoses that you buy have fitting already attached. Because of this you can not attach the hose onto the reel because there isn't room. The only fix I found out was I installed a 90 degree fitting so I could attach the hose. That worked fine and now I am happy. So in essence make sure you have a hose without fitting attached and it will work just great or do it my way.
