Anybody have any of the hose reels from HF? There are nearly a dozen different reels this one (I have provided info on) a Diablo has a good price on it.

Looking for feedback beyond the “reviews” listed on the store’s website. How do they hold up over time and useage?8E387256-FAA4-4412-AE5D-29236D4BB581.png

Thanks for your time, Rich
 
Thanks Grumpy, but 25’ isn’t quite enough. I want to be able to pull an air hose out from the garage attached to the house, out to something in the driveway.
What’s your thoughts on attaching a hose reel to one of 2 posts of my lift? I have a 115v duplex outlet in the ceiling above the lift posts, I was thinking converting that into a surface mounted steel box and conduit run down the post to a switch w/outlet about 55” above the floor. A pancake compressor sitting at the post base (with the reel mounted on the post just above the compressor). Any pros or cons?
 
Their hose looks like crap too. When I roofed my house I ran 3 guns with air lines and bought too many coils. I have probably have 1000 ft combining all of my 50’ lines. I had more but I’ve been giving them away.
I’m looking for a reliable rewind that won’t bind up if my wife or kids ever need to use it when I’m not around. I just don’t want to spend $150 or more when most reels are less than $80. It’s not like I have a commercial shop with tools under constant abuse.
