GOODYEAR Elite Heavy Duty Pro Spring Driven Steel Retractable Hose Reel (3/8 in. x 100 ft.), with 2 Years Warranty

Works great. I like the 100 feet of hose and self retracting. I would definitely buy this product again

Excellent value for money, it has proven itself to be robust in use.The quality is great

Finding a self winding air hose reel that will take 100ft of air hose is not easy.I've had a manual one for 20 years that accepts 100ft of hose.I need 100ft for blowing out the sprinkler system, and reaching up the driveway to fill tires.In the winter, it is hard to get to the air hose reel with the snow blowers in the way.I can pull out the hose, but can't get back there to wind it back up.And being 20yo, it's still works, got my monies worth out of it.. but time to go, it's getting cranky.So are my knuckles with rewinding and how close the crank is to the wall of where it's mounted.The four negatives for the Goodyear reel..Pricey.Heavy.Design to be sitting on the floor.No wall mounting consideration.Ok, but built well.I built a shelf out of 2x4's and plywood for it to sit on, at chest height.With a couple of eye bolts, strapped it in place so it wont pull off the shelf.Simple build and it holds the Reel's weight just fine.The rubber feet almost takes care of it slipping on the plywood, but not taking a chance, 1.75 for a strap at HD and a buck for a couple of eyebolts.It's above the snow blowers, easy to pull out, and the self winder is a dream.So far so great.. expensive but works great.When pulling out all 100ft, do not not work from the very end, but get back near the reel so as not to stress the entire hose with pulling out on the growing length of 100ft. You can feel the hose stretch.Pulling out 20-30ft from the very end, seems not to be a problem, get past 50ft, and want to get back to the reel and grab mid hose and start again.Same for releasing the ratchet spring.With all 100ft out, I walk the end back to the reel, and pull on the hose near the reel to release and guide the hose back onto the reel.The rollers work great, but considering the price, there should have been a leader that moves and layers the hose correctly as it rewinds, like you find on a $50 water hose reel.This was not that big of a consideration for me, and didn't stop me from buying it, but just saying at this price level.

Die Schlauchtrommel kam recht schnell bei mir an. Leider fehlte ein Gewindestück für den Anschluss an den Kompressor. Das Problem war aber gering. Schnell diesen Teil im Werkzeugmarkt geholt und fertig. (6,00 €) . Mir gefällt besonders die Automische Aufrollung. Beim Ausziehen bleibt die Trommel fix am Boden stehen. Sehr gute Qualität. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen. Der Preis ist günstig für ein Top Gerät. Bei diesem Kauf gibt es nichts zu bereuen. Also Leute : wer so etwas braucht , einfach zugreifen und bestellen. !!

1 year later, this thing is still working perfectly. This has been in our commercial shop getting pulled and retracted 25+ times per day and still zero issue. Good quality. Never mounted it, just sat it on the floor. It's never tipped over.
