- I was in Home Depot this morning looking at their Campbell Hausfeld 25' retractable air hose reel, $50. I almost bought it, then thought I'd check the web and ask you Shoppers what you thought of it.

- Interesting idea about adding hose to the reel. The hose diameter is 3/8", which I found to be pretty common in ones I could afford that were offered on the web. Ken What size hose was in the HD one?

- I don't understand, Phil. Why don't you just run a short hose from the compressor to the reel and leave the tail end of the coiled up hose sticking out to connect to the one from the compressor. I bo
