[AT] Air Hose Reel

[John Hall]

I bought one from Sears a while back and it is OK but leaves a lot to be 
desired. First off, the case is too small to get all the hose into. Once it 
starts criss-crossing a couple of times you wind up with about 5 feet that 
won't retract. The second issue is it uses the stiff plastic type of 
hose--that stuff just won't lay flat on the floor! My advice is to find one 
on display and try it out to see if you like it. Expect to pay at least $75.
