Easy-To-Use Wall-Mounted Air Hose Reel

Easy-To-Use Wall-Mounted Air Hose Reel FARM SHOP Tools 24-5-39 "Our wall-mounted air hose reel is easy to use and doesn't take up a lot of space. It keeps the hose up off the floor so it always stays clean," says Joel Waldner, Lethbridge, Alberta. The reel is made from a short length of drill stem pipe with a circular steel plate welded onto its top and bottom. A steel arm made from 1-in. tubing is used to bolt it to the shop wall. A quick coupler mounts on top of the reel. A steel air line connects to the coupler with a short length of rubber air hose. The main air hose runs through a hole cut into the side of the pipe and up to the coupler equipped with a swivel fitting. To unwind the hose the operator simply turns a crank at the bottom of the unit and pulls out the hose. "It works great for operating any air tool or compressor," says Waldner. "The reel has 60 ft. of hose on it which is long enough that we can open a shop door and use it outside. It really comes in handy for changing shovels on tillage implements. If we want we can reach through a second hole in the pipe, disconnect the coupler, and attach an even longer hose."
