The genuine rubber hoses self-coil much nicer than the flexible ones. The flexible ones are sticky and bunch up.

[@KatanaGuy]

You already know you're going to hit your head on that reel. I like the clean install but you need walking around head clearance at a minimum in a professional homeowners shop.

[@user-nh3gu1ge3d]

Or, just look where you're going? Ever thought of that? If you're that careless, maybe you should get a bump on the head as a lesson to be more careful.

[@benjamins7229]

Yea in most industrial shops they’re mounted like 8 feet high. You can reach up and grab the hose and pull it out

[@cuethenewt9375]

A 50’ length for the air compressor hose seems just perfect. That’s what I have and I really like it. It’s long enough without being too heavy or cumbersome. If anything, I would buy another 25’ section to add on or two 25 footers if needed. I can’t remember if mine is good for 250 or 300 psi (think it’s 300), but it’s plenty strong and the flexibility is still there. That mount you have is really nice and will definitely come in handy. I’d probably do the same if I used my compressor more often. I just have the basic Porter Cable pancake style compressor though, which is mostly used to air up tires. It’s a great unit and I always appreciate having it. I would recommend it to anyone. I lucked out and got it on sale for $70 off. The $99 for it, $30 for the hose, and $20 attachment set only added to $149 and tax at Lowe’s, so it was a great deal. I’d gladly buy it again. No buyers remorse here. There’s many more tools I can add down the line if need be. Everyone I’ve known with the PC compressor just loves them.

[@timjansens3514]

I wish I would have watched your video years ago! My hose reel-foreign made-spring broke, hose dry rotted and cracked within 3 years. I’ve watched many a video on your channel wishing I would have watched it prior to doing a project myself! Being a physician, I don’t have the mechanic background to always know what is a quality tool or what is the professional homeowner way of doing things…. Your videos have saved me a ton of headache…I just wish I would have watched sooner!

[@wranglerstar]

Glad it helped!

[@Rsandman41]

The shop I worked for had that similar 1/2"id hose and reel on our service truck we used for a rock crushing operation the boss had. We made a 3/8"id x6' whip to plug into the end so you didn't have to wrestle the extra weight using smaller tools. The 1/2"id was great for running a small rock drill for the extra volume of air but yours is choked off being fed with the 3/8"id feeder hose going to the reel. The reel will only make so many turns before it gets spring bound so you might want to check that before getting a 100' hose. Unless you got the paperwork telling you how much hose and the different lengths and hose dia. that fits.

[@HAXMAN]

Nice clean setup. I’ve been tripping on air hose for 25 years. 😂 I’ve just been trying to upgrade all my air tools to battery powered so I can use the hose less.

Metric is annoying when we're not used to it here in the U.S., but it IS simpler, everything possible is base 10. The English system is confusing to calculate with 16ths or 8ths of an inch and 12 in. to a foot, 3 ft. to a Yard, 16 oz to a pound or pint (same units for weight AND volume?!) and 4 quarts to a Gallon. Nothing is standard about it.

A couple of trouble lights on reels are about as useful as anything I've ever installed in my garage. Just sayin'.

[@nathangriffin9893]

Let's spend quadruple the time or more to mount a hose reel because we're so OCD we can't help ourselves lmao my God man we're not balancing an engine its just a hose reel lol

[@TheSirGoreaxe]

I found a use for that terrible tan masking tape. It makes for a good template. Stick it on what you need to make a template of, then peel it off and stick it on where you need it. Since it's nominally sticky it wont move around on you.

funny just installed 2 of these in my workshop......18ft ceilings and I did both of them from a drop down position at the front and rear of the shop.....work absolutely incredible

[@henryzabel1746]

Little tip for new users of any spring loaded hose reels . Never let the hose free spool back in ! Years ago at work we got a bunch of 100' hose reels installed all over our machine shop and a new hire let the one on my mill free spool back in and broke the spring . I chewed him out and told the boss . So after getting a new one installed the boss who did not believe me came over and did the exact same thing . Way back then the reels cost about $380 each . Always walk the hose back in .

[@Shieldskins]

In the shop I worked at, we also used those for water lines to fill all the coolant tanks on the cnc machines. Same hose and everything just plumbed water to it instead of air.

We have these exact same hose reels hanging from the ceiling of our ambulance bays for water hoses. They have held up to our torture for years…still no leaks or drips.

[@scottamstutz]

If the large hose bothers you when using a tool, What I do is I have a 3 foot whip hose or if you like coil hoses (I hate them) you can always have a small section you plug in when using an air tool that is easier to move. Another hose that I like better than flexzilla for a light flexible hose is made by Prevost, check them out.

[@anthonybanda8192]

I am a industrial mechanic and I will only install those reel craft hose reels . They are tough reliable and simple. I installed 20 of them in a large manufacturing plant last year . They needed them as they do custom work that requires multiple work stations with a variety of different air tools . Great video nice shop !

[@mattshaffer5935]

[@cranerigging3604]

That's a nice reel ! Oh at 1:15 the red hose is 1/2 " for bigger volume like running an impact wrench and that green hose is 3/8 " for moderate tasks .

[@SLCFarms]

We just make a 5’ whip with the smaller hose to attach to the larger hose for a more flexible hose for the smaller air attachments. Then the big line is there for the big guns like our 1” long anvil impacts.

[@willb3018]

Have had a Reelcraft with 50' rubber hose for over 10 years. Put it between 2 garage doors about 7 1/2' up so it is out of the way yet still reaches throughout the entire garage as well as outside. Haven't had any issues with the reel or hose yet.

[@kenweis2291]

I think it shouldve been mounted 6 inches higher maybe

[@robertdinicola9225]

First time i have seen you use the mag drill as it was designed.

[@bigtruxz]

If you try to add a 100ft hose, you'll have to make some changes to the return spring. Not sure how to modify it but the spring will be too tight when all of the hose is out and too loose when it's in.

[@TheBelrick]

how many imperial noses are there in 100ft? Less than 1000 imperial thumbs?

[@lonnieblankenship8637]

That was my thought exactly. It won't retrieve the entire hose. I have also found replacing or switching parts in equipment usually doesn't work well unless it's a factory replacement part. I would just keep an extra hose on a hanger for when needed.

[@elBusDriverKC]

I have one from Harbor Freight. Definitely not the most heavy duty, but it's inexpensive and keeps the hose off the floor. As a concept I love retractable everything! I really only use the air hose for dusting things off now. Most tools have gone from air to battery.

[@schmojo33]

I have a small folding table that I use for little projects when I'm watching KZbin or other stuff. I've taken mixed bolt bins and dumped them out and when you have a few in a pile of the same size, just tape them together with frog tape or a tape that isn't sticky or I reuse plastic baggies. Small parts organizers are an option too.

What a joy to see someone use a flat washer on the rotating "side" of the head of the bolt when tightening. Another great video.

[@Connorkmiec93]

I doubt you'd be able to add much more hose length to the reel. You are limited by the spring, which probably doesn't have many more rotations of tension available. I made this mistake trying to put a longer hose on my cord reel.

[@SpicySteve-tz2so]

Hey Cody. I have a Flexzilla retractable hose reel in my professional homeowner's workshop. I mounted it on the ceiling as I too am rather tall (6'3"). Drill yourself two more holes and raise that reel up 10" so that it is not something to bump your head on.

[@jameskujala5014]

They make great hose reels for a slip on tank in a UTV… Mount it on a boat seat swivel and you’ve got a 360 swiveling hose reel that automatically retracts.

[@haph2087]

To yoink is to take, while to yeet is to throw. So you can yoink something out of someones hand, and then yeet the same thing out of the window. Since you were referring to taking hose off of the device, the correct verb here is indeed yoink. While you could argue that you would "yeet" the new hose on, yeet generally means to throw something haphazardly, so the careful process of affixing the hose to that device would be much too precise for yeet, maybe with a possible exception for a case where you knowingly did a lazy and terrible job of attaching the new hose.

[@austingroce3960]

To adjust tension on the return spring you pull all the hose out and once you get it locked in place, disconnect the hose from the reel and then let it rotate in back in about ten revolutions. Then reconnect the hose And let it pull it back in then you can adjust accordingly repeating same steps. Rotating out is more tensions rotating in is less, that heavy pull gets obnoxious fast. Just some east coast wisdom. Great layout of the shop. Will be stealing some of your ideas for sure

[@danielalamo2075]

I have a couple cheap hose reels I would like to hang up outside my shop. I'm just worried about theft and damage from weather. So I have yet to figure out how to protect them. Anyway nice job! And you have a very nice hose reel. The larger hose will flow more air volume to power your tools. Running smaller hoses like I do doesn't allow full power out at distance for things I can't move closer to my little shop. You definitely won't have that problem.

[@MattysPrincess]

A little trick I used when I worked on fire trucks and ambulances mounting new equipment is I would put the bracket in place and use at drill bit the exact size of the hole on the bracket and run the drill for a second or two too get exactly the center of the hole on the bracket. Center punch that hole drill it in mount bracket and repeat for the other holes. Then there’s no need to drill over sized mounting holes. 😉

[@reidcoleman1568]

That drill press is the bee's knees! Great idea to secure a safety on it too.

It’s too bad you had to rotate the hose arm just 45°... now you have four holes with the paint scraped off showing. My OCD would have me trying to find exact match paint.

Nice addition👍🏼 I loved mine so much after installation that I ended up running a couple more lines out, one to the carport and another one out to a hookup between the double garage doors for driveway air. It’s all about spoiling ourselves to by having access to air outside and in, plus the boys no longer have to access the garage to use air. I wanted to replumb one of those old school gas station air box/pumps with a coil of hose for tipping off tires in the driveway but talk about sticker shock? They’re going for big bucks these days!? I’m still looking for one and hopefully I’ll find one that needs a restoration cheap but so far but Nope! Once you have air outside you’ll never not have it again, hence the “ spoiling” ourselves😉 Looks good brother, a squared away shop makes for a happy guy. (And gal I’m sure!) Thanks for taking us along, pretty cool setup.

[@Bluuplanet]

I don't know if that new reel will hold any 1/4" hose spliced on the end of the 1/2"(maybe 25') but the thick hose acts like an accumulator tank. 100' of 1/4" hose slows down tools that use high volume air like framing nailers, chissels and air motors. Just 25' of 1/4" on the tool end wouldn't have as much resistance and slow the air down as much as all 1/4".

[@kennethesterhuizen1624]

[@mrblack5145]

Reels are nice. I installed one with electric cord. Can reach whole shop or most no need for extension cords now. But for air I ran lines across top beam with drops every other post now I just plug in a 6ft hose anywhere I need it. Easier to handle and still no hoses all over the place.

[@joeliversen7270]

pro tip. you can take pressure off the spring in the reel. if you take stopper off you can let the hose slowly and carfully unwind around a few times. you can also make them tighter the same way but other direction. its how you wind the reels tighter when they get old and the springs wear out. ( it will want to unwind fast so hold on carfully )

[@keananf]

Remount the reel about 14 inches higher. Set it so the lowest point is about 6'8" That way you won't hit your head or feel like you need to duck when walking near it. Take the 10 minutes and do it now before you hit your head and spend 30 minutes in pain...

[@ddl2k7]

That real rubber (usually red) is my favorite out of all the different types, when I'm using air for up on a roof or something I like the smaller synthetic stuff, when it warms up the red stuff moves and bends good too, nice and durable in case a blob of welding splatter or something bounces off it!
