Amazon Retractable Pressure Washer Hose Reel | Fixfans | 1/4 or 3/8

[@kvboyd]

I ordered one and everything you linked below that I needed. Put everything together today. It seems like the water comes out at a higher PSI now which is a good thing. This is a set up I wanted but didn’t know what I needed or where to start. Thanks for the video.

I converted an air reel. Using a flexzilla hose on a Reelworks air reel. Had to cut a 1.5" hole with a rubber grommet and m22 adapters. Works flawlessly.

[@CarsWithKeav]

That’s awesome! Hopefully it hold up as that is a good deal. I have heard of some having blown out. I think it all depends how much PSI your pushing.

[@JoshPhillips7781]

@@CarsWithKeav It's hooked up to an Active 2.0, do it isn't crazy pressure. I usually use it with a 5.0 orifice nozzle, so it would shock me if I'm pushing more than 1,000 PSI. If I were using a much higher PSI machine, I probably wouldn't risk it.

Great video! On your recommendation I purchased and just installed this FixFans reel. For those wondering about max hose length capacity, I paired it with a 75 ft 3/8 inch Kevlar hose from BluShield (non-marking). This hose fits but the reel runs out of tension when rolling the hose back in. For me it keeps stopping short at the last 4-5 feet. This is not a show-stopper as you can manually turn the reel and wind in the final feet of hose. I mated this setup to a new Active 2.0 pressure washer and I am LOVING IT.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Appreciate this info and testing the limits for us all. I thought it could fit 75 feet, but as we discussed the tension runs out. It’s not hard to hand turn 4 feet though. Hope you enjoy the Kevlar hose it’s so much lighter and thinner than the bigger 3/8 hoses.

@@wescat2 if I knew the channel would eventually make enough money to pay for a legit drain system I would have gone that route, but I had no idea so just did what I had to do. If I knew then I would have brought somebody in to shave the floor to drain from all walls to the center and put speed drains on the outside then a big drain in the center into a trap. Still might try that out one day, but still so expensive. Recent visit to Gtechniq works facility inspired this train of thought and that’s what they did.

Tool Barn went out of business online last month. I had seen their site before and wondered how in the world they could sell things so cheap and just was always sketchy about them. Should have made some purchases before they closed. Did you get the dual arm or single arm? I think now Amazon at $369 is now the cheapest with the hose which still isn’t that bad of a deal.

[@melvinventura2614]

@@CarsWithKeav I ordered the single arm and received a dual arm with 1/4 hose. That was a good mistake from T barn. I was impressed on how heavy duty this thing is. I saw the single arm regular hose reel in use at a comercial place and looks heavy duty too. They sell directly to retail their retail site is called THE BLUE HOSE. currently there is a 25% off added to the cart when you go to check out. So the single arm will be close to $250 with the coupon and 50ft hose . I’m surprised the guy that sells fancy garage stuff has not found this brand, they have a full stainless steel option for $1k

@@melvinventura2614 I see $250 with the 1/4 hose. I have that hose and didn’t like it. Not saying it’s not good just having the Kevlar (Aramid) hose kind of spoils you a bit.

Hi there. One thing I did for the Uber flex hose. I cut the black housing off one end, added a M22 male coupler, to at M22-14 female to 3/8'' plug. Works great! You just have to pull the hose through before adding the M22-14 female to 3/8'' plug. Wish I could load a pic to show it. Thanks for all the great content!

[@CarsWithKeav]

That’s a great idea. I have shaved the M22 plastic down to fit other reels.

[@Thylacine1]

Thanks for posting this shortcut! Upon further research I found amazon sells M22-14 MALE to 3/8" QD plug connectors, I only found them in kits with another QD but the kit is only $10. This way you don't need a coupler (potential failure/leak point) and can go from Uberflex hose into the reels 3/8" female QD. How much of the Uberflex's M22 plastic housing did you have to trim off? Do you see any issues with the Uberflex hose contacting the hole in the reel? Maybe wrapping a protective layer at that spot is a good idea?

[@GibbyDIY]

@@Thylacine1 it is still working great for me. There’s been no wear on the hose at all. I use it 4-5 times over a 2 week period. Still, that’s a good idea to add a protective layer to extend the lifetime. I may cut a piece of garden hose and place over that section for safe measure. Thanks for the idea! I used a dremel and cut all of the plastic housing off that end. Working like a champ so far. Also, I use the red Uber flex hose. It has a bit more psi rating. The only reason I chose it was because it matches my garage color scheme 🤣

[@CarsWithKeav]

This is an issue across many quick connects. Many do not work with each other has to do with the diameter tolerances and even sometimes length. More than likely the included male quick connect is not the same company as the one on the reel. I have had several times some of the Amazon adapters won’t fit my MTM quick connects.

Nice informative video and as always love the outakes. Did you have a review on the BluShield Aramid Braided Rubber Pressure Washer Hose? Whats the main benefits over the uberflex? I have been looking at this retractable reel myself. The reel is priced well and the main thing i was looking at was the weight as well because it does not come in super heavy.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I actually did a video on that hose and compared it to Uberflex and other hoses as well. Main benefit is weight and diameter. ANother great benefit is it acts like a big heavy 3/8 just laying on the ground, but is much lighter and I think more flexible. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mabaaaOpZc2Sjqc

@@CarsWithKeav do you know what the weight is? The reason being is i'm wanting to build some sort of cart that can house a pressure washer, reel and garden hose reel that i can lift in and out of my truck as i do not want it fixed down. So as i am lifting it up and down i am trying to shave of as much weight as possible. The manual cox reel comes in at 18 pounds which i prob attach the garden house but like the idea of a retractable for the pressure washer as was not too much heavier. However if that reel was over 30lbs i would not consider it and go with other reel if that makes sense. But yes i saw that reel and looks good but could not find out the weight?

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@ShasCarDetailing Scratch that I just checked and the listing says polyester so doesn’t sound like it’s the Kevlar hose. The fixfans I reviewed is 25 lbs as retractable will be heavier due to the mechanisms involved. A manual reel will be much lighter. On a cart hate to say it the Manual reels are going to fit way better. The retractable ones stick out to far in my opinion. Unless you can get it mounted inside and not hanging off the side.

[@ChiGalKMcAcura]

I’ve been looking for a retractable hose reel. This looks easy enough too. Do you have to mount or can I sit it on the ground until I find the perfect wall spot?

[@CarsWithKeav]

It will need to be secured to something very heavy as the tension to unlock and pull the reel would make it impossible just sitting in the floor.

@@Nick19837 Problem is you can’t anchor it to anything, but the reel. If you anchor to the wall it won’t retract it will just get stuck and not spin. Only way to get a power cord to work on a reel properly is with one designed for it so the cord can’t get all twisted up and you don’t have to unravel fully every time you want to use it’s biggest problem is not too many empty ones out there and they come with the cords already on the reel. I have been looking for a solution, but very few 12AWG power cord reels out there that are budget friendly. You could anchor it to the reel leaving a little slack unplug it the retract then plug back in, but the slack would have to be minimal as it will fling around when retracting and get caught on something or damaged by hitting things.

Good luck lol sucks I had to go with cox reel. Idk why it has to cost so much it’s literally the easiest design they had to come up with

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@vancelee3506 Agreed

[@JameboyDancalan]

How much?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Right now they are $190 amzn.to/3WcgTJY

[@Prodetailusa]

Man just sell me this entire set up that’s what you should do. Or build your own and sell them online somewhere

[@CarsWithKeav]

A lot ask for it I just don’t want to do any retail type stuff. Just not my thing I just like to do reviews. I’m sure I could open up a whole new revenue stream, but don’t think ai would enjoy it.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

First!!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Again!

[@cebasmb8250]

Man just get a real hose lol 😆 with a stopper on it

[@CarsWithKeav]

I have a storage bin of stoppers I fricking hate them they get in the way. If it’s not my Kevlar hose then I don’t want a “real” hose. 🤣

[@cebasmb8250]

[@CarsWithKeav]
