Coxreels P-LP-350 Retractable Low-Pressure Air & Water Hose Reel for Easy Storage

SEA: This is a commercial grade air hose reel. No cheap plastic parts - it’s all heavy duty. Only complaint is poor packaging (swivel Air fitting damaged). And the rubber hose stop was Over-tightened leading to flow restrictions. Hose took a permanent set from the stop being so tight. Also, the hose is PCV, which is a major downgrade from rubber / EPDM. Listing did not clearly indicate hose material.

Stryker_20: In your home/shop, a hose reel is definitely very useful. This is a very heavy duty unit. While the unit comes adequately packaged for sale at a store, it is not adequately packaged for sale by amazon. Amazon needs to cushion the mfg packaging. My unit came damaged, to the point that the swivel actually leaked more than the old Chinese reel it was replacing. I was able to scrounge up some new o-rings and replace them and it works fine now. Cox was kind enough to send me some new o-rings for it. Also damaged in shipping was some sort of plastic spring/retainer that goes in the center. I could not tell that the damage was causing any performance issues so I decided to mount it on the wall and get on with life. The reel works very very good.

DonDon: Seems like a well built USA reel but there was zero packing paper in the box and as heavy as it is, my arrived dented. I have a message into the seller to see what can be done. As heavy as this this, we need more than a 3 foot section of paper waded up in the bottom of the box.

***UPDATE*** After speaking with Amazon and escribing the issue, Amazon has 100% taken care of this issue and explained it wont happen again. Hopefully they talk to there team in shipping and they will start packaging with care but I am 100% satisfied

D. Hansen: This is a commercial-quality air hose reel, made in the USA. It's fair to say it's expensive, but in person, the quality is self-evident: A one-piece, quarter-inch thick steel mounting plate/reel support arm; an eighth-inch thick, ribbed-steel guide bracket, adjustable in 45-degree steps; easily replaceable O-rings in the hub pressure swivel; a replaceable spring canister, and a high-quality 50-ft 3/8" air hose. I'm using this in a home shop setting, and struggled with whether the extra cost was justified.

Frankly, I'm tired of buying products manufactured abroad to meet a price-point some marketing executive decided was optimal to meet market demand and ensure his annual bonus. I want to encourage manufacturing -- and jobs -- in this country. We all pay lip service to this, but to actually achieve it, we also have to put our money where our mouth is (an expression, by the way, that's almost as old as COXREELS, who've been in business in Arizona since 1923).

A final comment: Pay particular attention to mounting this hose reel, especially in a ceiling/wall configuration. It's 40+ lbs, and people are going to be pulling on it too.

BrianBrian: This reel is a grownup gift to my inner child. I've wanted one of these for years. Now I have one. So what if I drained the kid's college fund. They're young. They have plenty of time to pay off those student loans.

For years I've used a loose hose that I'd roll up in loops and store in my shed. Not any more. This thing is actually really heavy duty. This is commercial grade. The reel is smooth in both directions. The reel the locks are evident with a clear click. Releasing the lock is also easy.

I'm a driveway mechanic with a few air tools and 14 tires to keep pressurized. Admittedly, this thing is overkill. But it's really well made and will most likely outlast me.

The unit comes assembled, ready to hang. Installation can be a one-person job. It was for me. But two people would make it easier. Be sure to unreel as much of the hose as you can before trying to mount it. No need to remove the hose - simply unreel it. That move will reduce the weight and make installation easier. AND, once the hose is unreeled and locked be careful how you handle it. If you hold the reel itself (not just the base) and unlock the reel, you'll have a 50' of hose coming back at...
