[@xtrmbrazen6153]

Nice setup Mike! Wow we got a vape video and garage video today. Now you just need to have a vape in the garage video, like the drive and take video lol

[@nyleshintz69]

I've seen all of Mike's Life video productions. From me to you, Happy Thanks giving buddy.

thanks Mike for another great review..

[@MrBilydee]

Good video Mike and very informative. If you unspool or unwind the air hose it will make it easier to tighten the bolts down.

[@MOOR3NADO]

Great , thorough job!

[@tinodollas4146]

[@SteffenFaaland]

Love it🔥👌👌👌

[@emiliob.7830]

What does Steve think about it though? Great job Mike!

[@futbol1972]

So what if you wanna use compressor where retractable hose does not reach, you just unplug it and take it where u need it and use a portable hose to use it?

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

How do I unwind it and wind it back up it isn’t working good, when I need it longer it whips back. The 3 foot jumper is enough for me but What happens if the hose or jumper hose breaks do they have replacement ? Can the hose that comes on be taken off the reel

[@futbol1972]

So the retractable hose it's just for convenience so you don't have to take compressor where u need it?

[@fredfloyd6957]

Very informative video. You mentioned rotating the guide to make it more to your liking. It's unclear how you loosened the guide arm. Could you explain???

[@MikeLife1]

I loosened the bolts on the side and adjusted it. It's also shown in manual. Thanks for watching!!

[@Golgafrinchamdent]

Great review, thanks for posting! Can you measure the actual diameter of the rim of the reel... not the brackets or feeder arm. I've got a small cubby and this might fit perfectly. Can never trust the dimensions given on Amazon... lol.

[@Chevyv8man1]

Hey Mike, How good does the guide wheels work when you pull the hose out to one side? The one I have has wheels on the side so that the hose doesn't bind. I'm looking to replace mine and want to make sure the hose doesn't bind when pulling the hose to the side. The one I have now pivots around to stop binding. This real looks like a good candidate to replace mind. Thanks buddy.

[@MikeLife1]

Hey Marvin. So far I haven't experienced any binding. I also tested it pulling to the side and no issues

[@william38022]

I’ve been looking at these on Amazon myself recently so I guess my question is have you had a chance to use it much and what do you think is it living up to expectations for you?

[@MikeLife1]

Yeah I've been using it and so far I really like it.

[@tomjones1139]

any loss off air or power being that long

[@Oakcitymedia]

How is the reel holding up today?

[@jeantrinidad6258]

The extra hose they sent you is to make a whip for a air impact wrench. Also, it would have been a little lighter if you pulled out the hose. And would have been able to use a impact driver because there is no hose in the way

[@Lg1969]

Mike hows that reel holding up is it worth the money have my eye on it so was wondering the long haul lasting ????

[@MikeLife1]

So far I haven't had any issues with it.

[@Lg1969]

@@MikeLife1 Thank You and greatly appreciated for taking the time to respond…

[@Lg1969]

@@MikeLife1 Hey bud I bought one and after a month reel won't catch, we pull on it and it just reels all back. Any suggestions???

[@kindbuddybud8584]

You need at least six wraps for a basic bitch build, what are you doing🤷 it’s gonna be way too hot! Haha just kidding, good vid, subbed.
