Quick Look :)
Pros: Packaged very well in an inner and outer box with Styrofoam guides. The hose does lock out so it can be used without tension. It is very big.
Cons: It is very big and yes it is both a 'Pro & a Con'. I'm glad they show the dimensions on the picture. It has a heavy duty, black (marring), soft rubber hose with 3/8th MNPT fitting on the hose end and 3/8ths FNPT on the reel. (That is listed as a "Con" due to my only having quarter inch NPT air fittings from the old system but, really isn't a fault just my own frustration. (Something for everyone to be aware of.) It is very big - I said that before but it is worth keeping in mind. You'll need two men and a small boy to hold it up if you're going to ceiling mount it. You will also need about a six inch by six inch heavy duty mounting area. Lastly the reel only locks in a certain percentage of the reel circumference.
So! you will find the hose diameter to be about one (1) inch. The reel has a strong take up and the hose sits inside the reel just as advertised. I used a close nipple on the reel inlet to a female 3/8ths tee where I placed a gauge facing down from the rafters in my...

Bought this based on the build quality everyone talked about in the reviews and the value for it. I was a little turned off about most reviews in here discouraging some because they found the mounting to be too difficult. I figured well even if it is hard to mount, I only have to do it once then it is done and I'll have a great hose reel. To my surprise this thing was extremely EASY to mount.
I mounted mine on my shop ceiling which sits about 16 feet above the floor.. My original plan after reading how hard people struggled with trying to mount a spinning hose reel was to install the reel on a piece of 2"x6" (which is perfect size for the mount btw) and then it would be easier to control when I moutned it on the ceiling. (The 2x6 was also to be used as a stabilizer between two rafters)
After receiving the unit and looking at it I realized that only one bolt, yes just one, is holding the reel to the mounting bracket. The one bolt is of course very sturdy and I have no doubt it will hold up to years of abuse. Removing the one bolt and the hose stopper at the end of the hose allows the mount to be free of the reel. This allows you to mount the bracket...

I've had this CP3688 air hose reel since 2/3/23. It operates as it should. No issues so far. I would recommend this product to friend.
Update on 9/18/23 - I had an issue with the unit not retracting the air hose correctly and contacted the Seller and they sent me another new CP3688. I believe what happened with my existing CP3688 was just random and I know from looking at this unit and using it since 2/3/23 it is a quality built air hose reel and the seller cares about customer satisfaction.
