Best Air Tool Hose Reels of 2025

"I had to work through some issues before I could assemble it. The spring meant to prevent kinking was a bit too small for the fitting on my hose, so I used my angle grinder to adjust it. Additionally, my hose fittings didn't turn, making it a hassle to screw into the large swivel fitting on the spool. I removed the swivel fitting with snap-ring pliers and attached it that way. After a few trips to the hardware store for extra fittings, it works great now, keeping my hose organized and out of the way. Definitely worth the $38 I spent!"

"I absolutely love this hose reel! It makes using my hose so much easier. I have an old-style air barrel tank compressor on wheels, and I crafted a wooden mount for it. Now, I can just pull out the hose and crank it back on the reel effortlessly. I'm really glad I bought this and the price was fantastic!"

"The build quality seems a bit off, as it wobbles when I'm spooling the hose. The spring designed to protect the hose at the connection is also too small to fit properly. Nevertheless, it still gets the job done."

"I struggled with my air compressor hose until I found this amazing tool. It was super easy to install and now it works exactly as promised. I mounted it just above my compressor in less than 5 minutes, and the swivel feature makes it so convenient!"

"After using this VEVOR Retractable Air Hose Reel in my workshop, I can confidently say it’s perfect for my needs. The 50ft hose is not only durable but also flexible in all weather. The auto-rewind feature is fantastic; it retracts the hose with just a gentle tug!"

"I purchased this for my barn as a secondary air hose, and I’m really impressed by its quick retracting feature and durable feel. The 180-degree floating design provides more room than I anticipated. I definitely plan to get another one for my garage when the time comes!"

"I found the installation to be super easy with just four bolts. The unit comes fully assembled, and I was able to mount it quickly. It’s made filling tires a breeze!"

"I purchased this for my husband’s shop, and it’s well-built and reels up perfectly every time. I would definitely recommend it!"

"After a year of use, the internal spring broke, but I was amazed at the customer service I received. They responded quickly and shipped a replacement unit on the same day!"

“After years with a $25 hose reel, I finally decided to invest in this Dewalt retractable reel. It features a solid double arm design, and I’m really pleased with how easy it is to use compared to my old one.”

“I spent a lot of time comparing different hose reels before choosing this one, and I’m happy I did. The stout frame and steel ratchet mechanism give me confidence in its durability. The only minor issue was the damaged lead-in hose, but it wasn't a big deal for me.”

“Having owned multiple Dewalt products, I've never been let down. This hose reel is solid and easy to install. So far, it’s performing just as expected.”

“This thing is a beast. It's well made, has no problems, and looks and feels high quality. I've had it for 2 years with no issues. Just be aware that it weighs a metric ton when hanging. Don't forget to buy a short air line for the compressor. It's a great buy!”

“I installed this about a month ago and it’s been a fantastic addition to my home shop. I’m still getting used to the hose catches, but I'm very pleased with its versatility and robust quality. It suits all my home and light commercial needs.”

“I purchased these 2 reels to replace older ones in our shop. They were over 13 years old, and the new ones were perfect replacements. They arrived quickly, making my mechanic incredibly happy. Great product! I hope to get the same or more years out of these.”

"I found this unit to be top-notch in quality. It's very heavy-duty and a bit challenging to install, but it rotates smoothly and retracts with strength. I had to get a bit creative with the mounting due to the obstructed holes, but it was manageable. Overall, I’m pleased with my purchase."

"This hose reel is a fantastic convenience! After years of struggling with a manual setup, I now can roll my hose in under 15 seconds. I easily installed it myself, having used a cardboard template for the base. There were no leaks during testing, and it works perfectly with my pneumatic tools."

"I really appreciate the high quality of this hose reel. The retracting spring operates smoothly, and the hose feels both rugged and flexible. I recommend making a paper template for the mounting holes, as it made the installation process much easier for me."

"This reel is excellent for the price! It's very sturdy and easy to mount. I was surprised by how well it worked right out of the box without any adjustments. Just be careful with the hose connections, as they can twist if you're not careful. Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase!"

"I really like the quality build of this reel. The mounting was a bit tricky because I had to disassemble the bracket to attach it to the wall. However, once it was up, it worked great. The high-quality hose is a definite plus."

"I almost went for a cheaper plastic reel, but I’m so glad I chose this one instead. It’s a bold, heavy-duty product that will last a long time. The included hose is good quality, and I had no leaks. The only minor issue was getting the spring lock to engage, but I'm getting the hang of it. Highly recommend this!"

"I purchased this big, heavy-duty reel to replace my 25 ft 3/8” air hose reel. It was straightforward to install, and the quality of the fittings is impressive. One tip: ensure your feeder hose is larger than the reel's hose; I used a 3/4” feeder hose. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase."

"I'm quite satisfied with this retractable hose reel. The hose is made from sturdy material and maintains good flexibility, considering its size. It didn’t come with a small connecting hose, but that’s not a major issue for me. I'm considering buying another one and will provide a performance update later."

"This unit is great, but I noticed a couple of things. First, it had a leak, which I resolved by tightening the fittings. Second, the reel struggled to retract the hose. I managed to fix it by adjusting the spring tension. I think the issue might stem from quality control. Once adjusted, it works well and is a solid unit overall."

"I purchased the Dewalt hose reel and I couldn't be happier! The 50-foot hose reaches all areas of my driveway, making my tasks so much easier. It's a fantastic addition to my garage."

"The reel retracts nicely, and I appreciate the external connection for the supply hose. Just a heads up, ensure your mounting surface is sturdy since this reel is quite heavy."

"I bought this as a gift for my son who uses his compressor frequently. The retractable feature has been a wonderful addition to his setup."

"I've had this for 6 months and I absolutely love this hose reel! I wish I had gotten one sooner. The hose is a bit soft, but I've come to appreciate that it lays flat every time I use it. The plastic reel works just fine for me since I’m not using it as a winch. It has made using my compressor incredibly convenient. I used to drag around a hose that I had to wind up after every use to avoid trip hazards. Now, a simple tug releases the lock mechanism, and it retracts. I do think the roller guide window is a bit narrow, but guiding it with my hand isn't a big deal. The pros far outweigh the cons!"

"Once I figured out how the retraction worked, I really love this thing! It's a bit heavy, so mounting it alone might be tricky, but overall, I think you'll enjoy it. So far, it’s doing the job well!"

"I absolutely hate tripping over cords, and I really appreciate that this keeps its flexibility in cold weather. It’s well made and seems like it will last a long time while holding plenty of hose. I recommend it!"
