Just what the garage enthusiast needs!, June 23, 2003

A hose reel in a garage in my opinion is a necessity. No more messy hoses lying all over the floor, getting run over, cut, etc. The Legacy L8306 is a wonderful addition to my garage!
The 75' hose is great, that 25' additional length comes in handy!The hose on the reel I replaced with the Legacy model always wanted to bunch up when retracting into it. Thanks to the wonderful layering mechanism in the Legacy reel, it doesn't suffer from that problem. The hose retracts neatly and evenly every time!I found the 3' lead-in hose to be adequate, as my garage is hard-plumbed and connecting it to the air line was a breeze, and the reel also comes with a handy wall mount bracket allowing me to reposition and secure it at different angles if needed.I would recommend this reel to anyone looking for reasonably priced, convenient, air hose storage.

This Legacy L8306 3/8" x 75' Retractable Air Hose Reel is very nice, I am just a guy who likes neet work areas such as my garage and basement, I have a 50' retractable air hose reel from another manufacturer and it is not nearly as nice, I really like the way it retracts the line and reels the hose back and forth so it doesn't get tangled internally, in my garage I had my old unit hard plummed but had to add another piece of galvanized pipe to make up for the short 3' lead, if you can swing it opt for the 75 ft. and not the 50 ft. the extra 25 ft. makes a difference I no longer have to run a second line

I've not used this much yet and this is the first retractable reel I have ever owned. It works pretty well except at times there is a certain point in the retracting process that it is slow in reeling the hose up. It just may need for the spring tension to be adjusted. I'll revisit this review after I do that.

I've used this now for 3+ months and I really like it. The only negative I've found is on cold days (Below 40) it is slow rolling the hose back in which I contribute to the hose being too stiff. A more supple hose would make this much better!
