Giraffe Retractable Air Hose Reel with Swivel Mount & 3/8" x 25' Hybrid Hose

Michael A. Corrigan: Pleasantly surprised when it showed up. Looks well made and durable. Hung it from my garage ceiling and connected all the fittings (bought Milton red pack for less than $20.00). Used teflon tape on all the fittings and not one leak.

Reel mounts really easy and hardware is good quality. Took me about two hours to install but really pretty straightforward.

Hooked up my tire pressure gauge and filled my tires in the driveway. Reel is easy to lock and release.

Definitely worth the money and feels industrial grade.

Cracker Jack: You'll need some thread tape and connections. I installed in the garage so you'll also need some lag bolts if you'll installing there, out of the weather.

H. Bashinski: The reel itself seems fine. However, there seems to be an assumption that you are going to install this on a concrete or brick wall. The mounting hardware includes only masonry anchors. There are no suggestions for mounting to a stud wall or ceiling, how much support will be needed, what size bolts should be used, etc. And the installation video on the website doesn't even use the same bracket as the one I have, and again, there are no suggestions or directions for different installation options. Many people want to mount this on the ceiling. What's the best, safest way to do that? This seems like a large omission, and I am tempted to return the unit for no other reason than that the manufacturer seems to care very little about the customer. There are similar reels out there that will have better mounting information. Look into those!

Ralph Doe: Should have bought one of these years ago instead of hand-coiling up the air hose every time. Works great so far (only a month or so of use) and it was easy to install on the garage wall. Wish the leader hose was a little longer as I had to replace it to reach the compressor on the floor. But, it's great and well worth the money. The swivel feature is key.

Roland L.: Arrived as expected. The product seems well built and looks like it'll last a while in my hobby workshop. If you're buying this please note that they come with some really beefy concrete anchor bolts. I installed mine on wood studs so you'll want to purchase some 1/2" lag screws and washers if you're mounting onto wood. This thing is pretty heavy and I do not recommend you install it on drywall. Do also not that the hose does not come with any couplings so you'll need a female 1/4" NPT female receptacle for the working end and a female 1/4" NPT male connector to connect the supplied interconnect hose to the supply hose of your compressor.
