Hitachi 19409 100-Foot 3/8-Inch Polyurethane Air Hose Review

Hitachi 19409 100-Foot 3/8 inch Polyurethane Air HoseThis hose does its job nicely.I needed to buy a couple adaptors so it could fit my tools, but that was no serious problem.The only funny thing about the hose is after I strung it out a window for a week the hose that was outside discolored a little.It still works fine a month later.I really did not need to buy the 3/8ths, 1\4 would have been just fine and lighter.Such is life.

Wall Mounted Auto Hose Reel Review

Wall Mounted Auto Hose ReelThis is a poorly constructed product which uses only 1/2" hose. Mine stopped retracting the hose after only a month. Mounting is awkward, end pressure is mediocre unless you are starting with very high pressure.

Would not buy from this manufacturer again.

Swan 150-Foot Hose Reel Hose #SNHR58150 Review

Swan 150-Foot Hose Reel Hose #SNHR58150It may be long, but it's a very lightweight, cheap hose that kinks easily (in fact, the inside coils were already very kinked upon arrival). This is they type of hose everyone had in the 70s--I'd be surprised if it would last a season of heavy use, and I can't imagine it not cracking over winter (even empty).

For comparison, it's like the cheapest hose you can buy at the grocery or hardware store, very thin foldy. If you've bought a new hose in the last decade, this will disappoint you. If I had paid $25 instead of $65, I'd probably just suck it up and use it, knowing I'd have to replace it next year.

But at this price, you'll be much happier buying two shorter, better quality hoses and connecting them with teflon plumbers' tape for a secure seal (and you'll probably save money).

The only upside to this hose is that, since it's cheap and lightweight and narrow, it is lighter to carry around. But I'd rather have a quality hose that won't kink every time I pull it out than one I can tote around (how often do you carry the whole hose around, anyway?), so back it went.

Akro-Mils 93021BKGRAN Garden Hose Pot & Planter Review

Akro-Mils 93021BKGRAN Garden Hose Pot & PlanterWhy would anyone design a hose pot with absolutely no drainage in the bottom???Beats me!! You can't turn it over to empty it out once the 50 or more feet of hose is in it.Only thing to do is get out your drill and put in your own holes.Also a lot of money for a piece of plastic. Not bad enough for me to repack and return, but would not buy again.

Suncast 225' Capacity Hosemobile Garden Hose Reel Cart, Bronze/Taupe #SFB200B Review

Suncast 225' Capacity Hosemobile Garden Hose Reel Cart, Bronze/Taupe #SFB200BThe barrel around which the hose is coiled has a diameter only a few inches wide. That might be okay if you were coiling rope, but a hose does not easily wind so tightly. When winding, this places a great deal of strain on the hose and on the crank, which is made entirely out of snapped-together plastic parts. It breaks apart with every other use, and snapping it back together is not straightforward.

The connectors for both the inlet and outlet hoses are plastic, and do not seal tightly, causing leakage. The included washers were nearly useless; I replaced them immediately, which helped somewhat. The angles of the connectors are quite sharp. This causes the hoses to pinch, restricting water flow and leading to cracking at those points.

The wheels provide only about a half inch of clearance beneath the bottom of the cart. So unless you are rolling it on a perfectly flat surface, you end up dragging it, pulling up clumps of grass as you go. It is really inexcusable that such a product could ever be released.

Reelcraft L-4545-123-3 Spring Driven Cord Reel with 45-Feet of 12/3 Cord and Single Outlet Review

Reelcraft L-4545-123-3 Spring Driven Cord Reel with 45-Feet of 12/3 Cord and Single OutletUnlike cheap offshore reels in many of the cheap tool catalogs, this one has a very strong spring that winds up 45 feet of 12/3 SO cord effortlessly. It has top quality Hubbell wiring devices and strain reliefs, as well as a durable powder coat finish. The cord feed-out can be adjusted in 90 degree increments relative to the mounting base, so it can easily go on a wall, ceiling, or floor. This product is a classic case of "you get what you pay for". To me, Reelcraft is the "Snap-On" of cord and hose reels. Go into any working garage and see what type of reels they have on cords, air hoses, and grease guns. They will probably be Reelcraft, because they work great and last forever. I am totally happy with this purchase, just as I am with a Reelcraft 50' air-hose reel I have been using for more than 10 years without problems.

Apex 8695-50 Industrial 5/8-Inch-by-50-Foot All Rubber Hose, Red Review

Apex 8695-50 Industrial 5/8 inch-by-50-Foot All Rubber Hose, RedI bought this hose under the impression that it was lead free.It is labeled "Not labeled for sale in California" so it probably contains lead.The ACE branded version does not and seems to be of equal quality.There appear to be few options for lead-free hoses; "Boat and Camper" lower quality hoses and some hot water ones.

This hose has great flexability but does not kink often and appears to be very sturdy (only years of use will tell for certain).

This product is made in the USA as is the ACE hose mentioned above.

Legacy L8653 Manual Air Hose Reel Review

Legacy L8653 Manual Air Hose ReelWhen I opened the box I found the 3/8 Fasteners for the leg and handle assembly loose. There were several chips in the paint of the reel from the fasteners. During Assembly of the legs and handle I found the capscrews were too short. I was unable to start the nut. I resolved the problem by going to the local Box Store and purchasing longer 3/8 capscrews. I was pleased to finally find the rating for the hose and reel. Max working pressure is 350 PSI. The Hose burst pressure is 1400 PSI. No where in the product description or specifications can these numbers be found. I ordered this Assembly hoping these ratings were Ok for my application. Other than the short capscrews and a few chips in the paint, I am pleased with this unit. I like the portability. It is a well constructed heavy duty unit.
