Open Face Retractable Air Hose Reel, 3/8 in. x 50 ft., Heavy Duty, Lightweight, Hybrid, ZillaGreen - L8611FZ

Have eight of these reels in use in our shop. The function is great - the hoses remain pliable, easy to install and much more durable than the plastic counterparts. I'll continue to buy these units over the lincolns with stiff hoses. Also - I'm pretty sure they are cheaper than other legacy brands - it's a win/win. Have had to repair one hose, and replace another - that was also very simple AFTER I contacted customer support to get the correct part.

This is my second purchase of this item. Been great item to have in garage. I love the Flexzilla hose brand. I use them from pnuematic hose - gargen hose - pressure washer hose.

Perfect solid as a rock

Easy to install, works as expected. I mounted mine vertically on a wall section between two vehicle bays in my workshop so I could air up both sets of tires without moving the vehicles out to get to the third bay where my compressor lives. I ran a 50-foot extension hose from the compressor to this reel and it works like a charm. I would prefer a more positive locking feel when pulling the hose out, it can get a bit fiddly getting it to lock and I was concerned that the wall mount choice I made somehow didn't let the locking mechanism function ideally, but it just isn't as "solid-feeling" as other reels I have used and therefore not a major consideration.

I bought this reel over two months ago and use it quite a bit. It was purchased for a replacement. It seems reminiscent of reels on the back of welder trucks, which were always good. The Flexzilla hose is a good quality that I have been using for years prior to this reel

Just installed this yesterday. Very pleased so far. Pulling the hose is very smooth. Getting the hose to stay and retract is easy not like some brands. For under $200 I'm very pleased

Very solid all around. Hose very flexible and rolls out and retracts great. No kicking of hose. Hose plenty long to reach anywhere in my garage. Highly recommend

A good buy for a nice hose and reel. Hose stays very flexible even below 32 degrees. Have other flexzilla hoses, real good ones. This is the first one on a hose reel. Love it@

Easy install and good flexible hose

This reel saves me so much time its hard to justify not owning one. It avoids trip hazards when installed on a ceiling, you need less hose out to do the work and it winds back up very consistently. A male connection on the end going into my compressor would be a nice addition to the package and the hose connecting to the reel could be a bit longer for a little more freedom.

The hose reel seems flimsy to me.
