Dewalt Dxcm024-0343 Double Arm Hose Reel With 3/8” X 50’ Premium Rubber Hose

I like how well build it is what I don't like is that it has a fixed direction bot I plan on fixing that

Cumple lo que promete

Good quality and a sturdy structure. Suitable for medium duth applications

I've been living with a 25 dollar hose reel for ages now and finally splurged to get this retractable reel from dewalt. It is a solid double arm design and looks cool to boot. I'm a big dewalt fan, so this dresses up the garage. Took me about two hours to hang since I had to span ceiling joists with some 2x4's to provide a solid ceiling mount. I went with 4 5" long 3/8" diameter lag bolts to mount the 2x4's to the ceiling two of which do double duty as the mounts for two of the holes in the mounting plate. I used some 2" lag bolts for the other two holes. I figure this will provide a solid mount and I don't have to worry about someone pulling it on top of themselves. I did have to adjust the tension, this was a relatively simple process of depressurizing the system, removing the plastic stop on the end of the hose, pulling out about 2 feet and wrapping the excess hose around the wheel while it was still locked, this provided a bit more tension for the last few feet or so. This thing is so much easier to use the old one, very pleased with this purchase!

Works well. For those negative reviews because it does not retract well, that it is weak. That is easily adjustable. Pull out a couple feet so it locks. Remove the rubber stop on the hose. Pull it out until the tension is as you like it. Lock the hose. Wind the excess hose back through. Reattach the rubber stop to the hose. Only takes a few minutes. Instructions are in the book.
