Excellent product. Well worth the extra money for the Dewalt. Good hoses,,,very heavy built mounting bracket. I should have bought this thing years ago. If you're tired of rolling up that damned kinked up compressor hose and tired of fighting it getting caught on everything while you're trying to roll it up,,,hang this Dewalt hose reel on the wall and keep that kinked up pile of crap for a spare hose extension. This really is a great addition to your shop. I have mine in my basement on the wall in the garage. The 50 foot hose will reach most anywhere in my driveway. Sure made things a lot easier on me.

Good hose quality and the reel retracts nicely. I like that the supply hose to reel connection is external so it will be easy to service the o-rings when necessary. Make sure whatever you’re mounting it to is solid because this is a heavy reel. If I had to say anything negative, it would be that the 1/2†hose is too big for the average home user but will definitely last.

I bought this hose reel to get a 1/2†hose, sturdy reel, and double sided brace. It arrived with box a bit damaged and the mounting surface slightly bent. I straightened it and installed it. The steel column I used to support the reel was too narrow for holes in the reel, so I drilled new holes In the reel which worked out just fine. Note the supply hose provided is 4’ long and I needed 7’. After searching for a localPlace to make up a new hose, I opted to add a 4’ supply hose with a coupling. All working well now. Reel retracts and operates well. No leaks in swivel joint.

My bad, didn’t realize it was all 1/2 inch. Had to adapt a few things but the hose is really heavy duty and the entire mechanism is solid. Worth the price over the plastic ones!

Only a partial fan. First off, I received the item and it was bent a bit. I didn't realize the drum was bent until it was mounted and I could unspool it. Oh well, too much of a pain to pull it off the wall and mail the heavy thing back. I straightened it the best I could with an adjustable wrench that I used to bend the lip back in a few places. As for the unit itself, I'm not sure why these thick hoses and 1/2" NPT have such small holes inside the fitting end. I swear it's barely bigger than at least my high flow 1/4". Regardless, the hole on the swivel side on the reel itself is no bigger than my 3/8" hose reel I upgraded from. Not sure how a 1/2" hose is supposed to benefit from the same size inlet as a 3/8" hose. Another weird thing is the angle the rollers are on. For a ceiling this would be fine, but on a wall it's pointed straight at the floor. You can remove the screws/nuts and reposition this into another set of holes, which fixes the issue somewhat, but it's still on a weird angle. I wish more flexibility was built in. Out of the box, the spring is barely enough to reel the hose all the way back in. Yes, I can adjust it, but it seems weird right out of the box. My last hose reel lasted over 20 years. I'm thinking this one will likely last "a few", but I doubt it will last as long as my no name prior brand. I expected more for DeWalt. Other than the twin arms, where my other one had a single arm, the rest of the build doesn't inspire confidence. On a good note, all the fittings are leak-free, unlike the experience of some of the others that have posted reviews here. So that's good.

I went with the 1/2. Used on Amazon. And as always it came brand new. Saved a ton. Did a video on this. The build is very good. The notches for the lock are thick and will last forever.

We use these as water reels on our work trucks.A solid retraction mechanism seems to hold up to the extra weight of fluids well, only wear part to look out for is the swivel coupling that needed to be replaced on an old one about 3 years into use, but that's pretty typical.Have one going on 5 years in a work truck that's still going strong.

This air reel is very nice at the start,After a year of use I wouldn’t buy it again the hose end kinda sucks, I mean I know it can be replaced but I’ve had other last way longer
