Logan Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 anyone have any experience with the TEKTON 50 ft. x 3/8 in. I.D. Dual Arm Auto Rewind Air Hose Reel or does anyone have any recommendations on a retractable air hose reel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Not directly. I have the Harbor Freight single armed reel. The reel is great, but the hose died after a year, so I replaced it with the Tekton hose and it's been great ever since. I like the dual armed version and if the one I have ever dies, that's probably the one I'd get. My experience with Tekton has always been positive and the dual armed reel would be worth the extra $30 or so to me. http://professional-power-tool-guide.com/2014/12/harbor-freight-air-hose-reel-fail/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveJr. Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Don't have any experience with the auto retract model but I do have the 100' manual retract reel. It works great for what it is but I really wish I just bought an auto retract version. Planning on buying the Harbor Freight one today actually! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foneguy Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I gave up on reels, just coil hose as needed. LOVE my flexible !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas2000 Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I agree with Foneguy. I have used reels, but have always been happier paying more for really good hose and just coiling it on a wall hanger. Your milage may vary depending on the situation.
