Air Hose Reel

Shop guys. I’ve become lazy, or is it more efficient? If you use pneumatic shop tools, brad and nail guns, paint sprayers, tire inflators, etc., then the Hromee air hose reel can be your most convenient tool. An instructor once said to me, “Jim, work smarter, not harder.” This air hose reel is one of those work smarter tools. I often go back through my Amazon orders to see how my purchases have endured. This air hose reel is one of those tools my instructor inferred. Unlike some tools, it does exactly what it advertises six years after I bought it. It manages my air hose with ease. What the ad doesn’t highlight is that the retraction mechanism pays the hose back and forth like a good fishing reel. It doesn’t ball up. All the hose fits in the case, EVERY time. It’ll do the same for you, too.

I didn’t see that the reel was used when I purchased it , I don’t buy used equipment, but I’m seeing it now when I pulled the Oder details up from 06-2025. I did notice when I used it and that has only been 4 times since I purchased it , that the belt driven hose guide did not move to replace the hose on reel evenly. Not really a big concern at the time , later checking into the problem found the belt wasn’t on the sprocket that drove it so attempted to disassemble and repair when I found that the case was broken where the the internal air connection is attached to the hose and slides into a connection with o rings to keep reel aligned. Tried different ways to repair plastic housing with epoxy’s of different types but no luck so far , does your company offer replacement housing/ parts to repair these things or is it just $80 in the trash and buy a new one ? Just asking what are my options!

It does what I need it to

I had a cheap air hose that was a pain to coil. I could never get my assistants to coil it correctly (under/over), and when tried to do it myself, it was a struggle. I have another air hose in my garage that is not problem, but the cheap air hose had some permanent kinks and twists in it. I decided to replace it, and this hose reel is about the price of a good quality 50' hose, so it was a no brainer. It was easy to install and easy to use. This isn't "professional grade" (it's plastic) but for my home DIY shop it's perfect. EDIT: After I purchased this, Harbor Freight offered a metal hose reel for about the same price. After a few weeks, the retraction started to get finicky and then the quick connect tool adapter stopped working. I had to stop what I was doing and run out to my local hardware store for a replacement connector. All in all, I'm still happy I bought it. But if I was doing it over and was willing to wait, I might have waited for a better deal on a more robust reel made of metal.

Package arrived promptly . the box looked smaller than I expected as I unpacked it the better it got. The hose was as expected. The female connector is the type that the collar stays back after u remove the accessory so you don't need to to hold it back to install the next tool. Even the teflon tape was more than expected a full roll like you would get at the store. Install was easy just screw the bracket to the wall (with included hardware) then slip on the reel and insert the pin DONE. the reel seems to be well made and works well. A+

Very nice, easy to install everything works well.

Do not buy unless you're looking to waste some money. I had this thing for about a year when the whole side blew out. Tried to contact the company but never got a response. Cheap product by a cheap brand. Do yourself a favor and buy a name brand one.

Super easy install - had on wall 5m after opening the box. So far hose has performed as expected.

compact. for truck. tires..ect..

This is a gift.

Very happy will trade again.

excellent produit, fontionne tres bien

It's not bad. Looks and feels really cheaply built/flimsy. But so far it works great. Install was super easy. It's nice not having to coil hose anymore. We'll see how long it lasts.
