Flexzilla Levelwind Retractable Air Hose Reel - Easy-to-Use Winding System for Optimal Hose Management

Arlington towing: Winds the hose perfectly every time. Comes with a jump hose. Reel can be made to swivel or you can lock it so it’s straight. When pulling the hose out you can switch between locking of free spool. Would recommend to anyone looking for a soft hose, easy to use ratcheting hose real.

QuizzicalityQuizzicality: The media could not be loaded.  I ordered this twice, had the same issue both times. The hose clamp that attaches the main 50 foot hose to the real came off and the hose with it. The only way to fix it is to take the whole thing apart at which point it's a huge pain to reassemble, and quite frankly not worth my time and effort. It's ridiculous that they cheaped out on a little $0.05 hose clamp instead of spending a little more on a crimp clamp like in my 2nd photo which would be just as easy to install during assembly. Now it's cost them who knows how much to return and repair 2 units. I have ANOTHER air hose reel from them in my workshop that I haven't opened and I'm afraid it's going to have the same issue.

I love the idea to auto wind the hose for you but if you can't get the most basic things right it's just a plastic paper weight.

Amazon Customer: Very easy installation

EAK: Not. The cheapest air hose reel out there but A pretty good one. The hose is great very flexible. I have used for months now light use and I love it. The reel worked good to and usually doesn't have any problems. Every once in awhile it won't wind up because the hose gets bound up on reel but pulling it out and letting it go again fixes the problem. The only reason it isn't getting a 5 star review is because after a few months it developed a leak. Well I don't mind taking things apart and fixing so I disassembled the reel which actually is pretty easy. And found that where the hose mounts to the reel using a hose clamp was leaking. At first I figured the plastic was cracked but it was just loose an slipped a lil so I pushed back on and tightened the clamp up am think I might have added a second. (not for sure it has been awhile now) and put it all back together and has been working fine ever since. The problem cud have been from me pulling after it was all the way extended so be careful not to do that but I would still reccommed. But if taking apart and making minor fix scares you it may not be for you. Or maybe you will just have to be more careful to not over extend.

CobraJet: It's rare to find a product that lives up to the hype, but this hose/reel does just that. The reel is surprisingly light and mounts easily on the wall bracket which allows 130 degree movement side to side. It can also be disconnected from the bracket for portability and has a convenient handle built into the case. It comes with a nice 5' leader instead of the typical 3 footer, and the mechanism is smooth and positive, making the extension and retraction of the hose easy and flawless. The hose is very flexible and remains pliable under any condition, staying where you want it as opposed to where it's memory wants it to go. If you're tired of struggling with your air hose and you're willing to pay a little extra for the ultimate air hose/reel, this one comes highly recommended. Lastly, the other plus is that it' s "Made In The USA".

Gadgety: Installed this product in my home garage. It wasn't clear from the description on Amazon but the reel comes with a mounting bracket that can be configured to pivot (±65 degrees of travel from centerline) or be fixed. This is important since the hose must be pulled out straight away from the reel. Some reels have rollers (this one doesn't) where the hose leaves the reel so the hose can be pulled out at an angle. With the bracket set up to pivot, it's no problem though since the whole reel pivots to stay in line with whatever direction the hose is pulled out. This makes it easy to pull out the hose to any location in the garage. Just keep in mind that the reel is fairly bulky so plan your installation with enough room to allow the reel to swing from side to side.

The leader hose (from the source to the side of the reel) has a 3/8 NPT male fitting to connect to your air source. I think the leader hose is about 5 ft long. The main hose also has a 3/8 NPT male fitting at the end.

The hose itself is living up to the "Flex" part of the name. Even under 90+ PSI, it's extremely flexible. It's summer, so I can't comment on cold temperature flexibility. But it's far superior...
