Chris,
Have you ever found a source for reasonable priced good quality
auto-retracting air hose reels? Most of the ones I've seen go for
around $150 and up. Also any suggestions of nice flexible air hose.
The stuff I'm now using (from Home Depot) is pretty stiff and
seems to have a mind of it's own when I try to coil it up.
Thanks,
Drew
