Giraffe Tools TA15B Retractable Air Hose Reel Wall Mount 3/8" x 50 ft Hybrid Hose, Air Compressor Heavy Duty Steel Reel Auto Rewind 300PSI, 50ft, Tangelo

I just installed the tb15bplus air hose reel. I had lag bolts and washers to install it on wood 2x4 thatis anchored to my garage wall. It is a light weight unit. I pulled the hose out and it reminded strong and smooth. It seems to be the ideal hose reel for my home garage. The operation works well. Time will tell how durable it will be. I have been looking at hose reels for a while and choose this one over the ones at harbor freight, home depot, Lowes etc. I am happy with the compact size and weight. The swivel helps to be able to mount in locations that you normally wouldn't be able to.

This has worked perfectly. It's the most used item in the garage.

This is a review of the Giraffe Tools TA15B Retractable Air Hose Reel.I selected this retractable pneumatic hose reel because it met my requirements. 50 foot and 3/8 inch. Overall, it works as advertised and expected. It a bit unrefined in that it does not track as it retracts, so the hose gets a little messy and uneven. But it works. It's also an open design, in that the reel is not enclosed, which is obvious by the pictures in the advertisement.I am giving this a four star rating due to its recoil speed. I've found that to retract it it, it's best to hold the very end of the hose and walk it in. If you retract it closer to the reel, you will have to hold the hose to slow it down, and it retracts at enough speed to actually burn your hand as you try to brake its speed. The recoil of this reek definitely works, you just need to manage it. Don't just initiate a recoil and let it go.Otherwise it works, seems tough enough to hold up, is easy to mount, the hose is a good quality, and the price is appropriate.

Great product at a reasonable price. I would recommend getting this product.

As a mobile detailer, efficiency and organization are key to a successful day. The Giraffe Tools TA15B Retractable Air Hose has become an indispensable part of my mobile setup, significantly improving my workflow and saving me headaches.

Its been 5 years now since the purchase.. and all is looking good.Given it gets retracted once every few months as it stays uncoiled..Still.. no signs of cracks.

Appears to work fineBUT1: the air hose to connect to compressor is very shortUnless you’re mounting it 2 feet above compressor be prepared to buy extension hose2: BIGGEST problem I have is it has no quick connections on it so also be prepared to buy unless you only use one attachment on it so you won’t have to screw and unscrew every timeI mounted it 4 feet off the ground so it would be over work bench area

Exactly what I was hoping for in terms of balance of price and quality. The unit works as I'd hoped, solid, and I particularly like the softer hose.
