David... I agree with Eric... I've got two... one commercial unit from a
fire hose company and one from Harbor freight... neither leak but the
hoses do... I put a ball valve before each and a drain stub under each. I
just flip the lever off when I don't need air for a few minutes then back on
when I need it... it goes off when the job is done and I don't lose my
tanks charge... The really good commercial ones are VERY expensive..

Subject: [Shop-talk] Air Hose Reel Rec
I want to add a retractable air hose reel in my shop, so I can have air
out in the driveway and other places, without wrestling with the 100' hose I
have now. I don't need 100', 75 or even 50 would be fine. My priority is
that it not leak. I have no leaks in my system now, and don't want to add
any. It would be nice to have hose that stays flexible when cold, as it
gets a little chilly here in Illinois ( -10 F tonight, supposedly ) and I
will use it then, to inflate trailer and iceracer tires, among other things.
Any recommendations to buy, or ones to avoid? Thanks.
