Amazon Commercial 50' self retractible Air Hose Reel

This thing has gotten stupid cheap, I kind of had to post it.

Amazon's current pricing on their "AmazonCommercial GAC-HR-004 Air Reel Retractable 3/8" Inch x 50' Feet Premium Commercial Flex Hybrid Polymer Hose Max 300 PSI Heavy Duty Steel Frame, 13.2''x5.5''x11'', Squid Ink, Daisy" Is currently showing up at $51.40. Considering the Harbor Freight hose reel of similar description, but fitted with a rubber hose is selling for $79.99, this is a hard deal to pass up if you need one / haven't already outfitted with a hose reel.

If you haven't, and have been on the fence about it, seriously think about it. I find mine massively helpful in / around my shop.

That is an excellent price for a much better hose than the HF, IMO.

I am wondering if the spool on that one is plastic though. The HF is steel.

The picture looks like it has a plastic spool. If it cracks/a plug breaks out, the reel is toast.

I noticed that after I posted. I think the least expensive all steel, or mostly steel built air hose reel is the Central Pnuematic. Sadly, they started powder coating the arm thing that holds the hose guide. I guess if you a DeWalt fan that could be a bonus...
