Review of Coxreels Air Hose Reel With Hose - 3/8in. x 50ft. Hose, Max. 300 PSI

Coxreels Air Hose Reel - 3/8" x 50ft. hose 300 PSI

This product is the Coxreels model P-LP-350.P: Performance series; LP: Low Pressure (300 psi); 350: 3/8" x 50' hose (included).

I've owned one of these reels since 1993, and have used it hundreds of times.

The reel works as you would expect of a high-quality product.To have the reel lock at the hose length needed; pull out what you need, and stop after one of the loud clicks.When done, pull the hose out a foot or so to release the lock, and slowly release the hose for it to automatically roll back up.Don't let go of the hose at that point, because it goes in so fast, it could hurt someone or damage something if smacked by the hose end.(The only reels on the market where it's safe to let the hose go when it's winding up, is the more expensive Coxreels EZ-Coil series; they feed the hose in, slowly.)

About 6 months ago, air started leaking in the fitting that the air compressor's hose attaches to.I sent an e-mail to Coxreels technical support and they told me which new part would eliminate the leak.I purchased, then replaced the swivel (see Customer Images), and the reel is as good as new.It's nice to know you can still get the manufacturer to provide advice on a 15-year old product.

The reel is all steel, except for the brass fittings.The base is 1/4" steel plate and is very strong.The painting has held up without any issues.The hose that comes with the reel is excellent reinforced rubber.It looks pretty much as it did 15 years ago.There are no rattles when pulling the hose out, as with some cheaper hose reels.

This is a high-quality, professional-grade hose reel.Highly recommended.
