Cleaning the shop I found this naked air hose reel I rescued from work many years back.
Blew off the cobwebs, oiled the very squeaky reel and fashioned a wood crank handle for it.
Put some air fittings on it and pressure/leak tested. A quick base from scrap wood.
Works great! I've been keeping my driveway PU hose on one of those orange extension cord handreels.
But this is much nicer, you don't have to hold the reel while pealing off hose and the QC female actually works axially as a swivel, even under pressure.
Aired up the car tires right after. Much easier to deploy the hose.
probably could do away with the quick connects at the reel hub and just hard connect that to reduce the bend.
