Hey guys,
These work well if you don't mind hand cranking them. They don't leak, made in
the US and should last a lifetime. Replacement parts are available:

Subject: Re: [Shop-talk] Air Hose Reel Rec
Tried the HF one and found it leaked as soon as I opened the box. Back it went
b/c who wants to deal with that bs.
There are some really nice, Made in USA, "pro" reels on Amazon, but couldn't
justify spending that much. Went with a Griot's garage one and have been
happy the last year with it. I had heard good things including how they stand
behind the products they sell. I'm sure the reel is a design you could find
cheaper elsewhere...
With the recent cold snap it got down to 15F while in the garage a couple
nights ago, and the hose was stiff but not impossible to use.
What I did find interesting is that the quick release hose connections for my
impact gun and tire filler both leaked a little bit. They never do that, but
I don't usually work in the garage with air tools in that kind of cold either.
Weird.
