Is on sale again for $59.  I've got one, great value.

I've always wanted one of those.  Not that specific model, but an air hose on a reel.

One of the HF gems without a doubt. I have two and they have never
given me a problem in the ten plus years they have been in service.

I've had my HF reel for 10+ years also.  It lives in my garage and does its job quite well.  For shop use though I choose to go with this one, https://www.amazon.com/Flexzilla-Retract...y++L8250FZ , from Legacy. The much lighter hose and more flexible hose makes it a better fit for my shop.  The extra $25 over the HF reel certainly didn't break the bank.

It wasn't a gem for me.  Never retracted reliably, never locked in place either.  I threw it out a few months ago.

Mine is going on ten years as well.  Works great.

I have been wanting that one for a few years.  Right now can not afford it and hope they do it in the next year or so.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

The red rubber hose on mine has cracked and leaked - twice.  What hose are you guys using?  If it's the factory one is it red or black?  Thanks.
