Has anyone seen a small retractable air hose reel around? Bunnings had some a few weeks ago and like a fool I didn't buy one that day and they were all sold when I went back. The normal size is 30 metres but I don't need it that long or that big in size. It is going in a trailer for use at the track to pump up tyres, ten or fifteen metres would be all I need.
Have a look here.
Got mine from Glenfords in Brisbane for $99.00, 20m of hose but no fittings which added $12.00
I have an retractable hose reel from Supercheap and for the extra spare hose (to reach the other side of the house) I use an old garden hose reel. Tape it to the reel with duct tape and it works well.

I use an old hose reel in my shed, found during a tip trip so it was a bargain. The hose reel I saw in Bunnies was very compact, just right for a trailer. What got me about the whole thing was the price, when I saw them they were $45 and when I went back they told me they had been reduced to $20 to get rid of them. Damn!! Thanks for the replies and I will keep looking.Quote:

I bought a reasonable quality hand wound (crank handle) version, which I trust a lot more than the retractable ones of the same price. They are a real PIA when they decide not to work, even to the point of damaging the hose fabric, with all the reefing and snagging. A good one is a wonderful thing to behold, but not the budget versions. Beware!

i was at bunning today they sell on one retractratable air hose reel and sell it for $ 99 and it was 30 ft by 10Quote:
