I need some help choosing the next few upgrades for the shop.
#1
I'm looking for a quality air hose reel, well actually three eventually. I've already gone the Hf route and have regretted it since day 1 but, they were 1/2 off so I couldn't complain much. I've got a small metal fabrication oriented shop and want something quality but, don't want to pay for just a name.
I work on heavy equipment and have always used Lincoln for grease equipment and reels. I've seen cox reels in our auto shop as well as reel craft on one of the service trucks and they seem great. I want quality and while price is a factor I don't want to replace these a few years down the road.
I'm stuck between these three. They're all 50 x 3/8" and seem quality.
Lincoln Lubrication 83753 Air Reel - 50 x 3/8 "
$130

Legacy (LEGL8306FZ) Levelwind Retractable Hose Reel for Air with 3/8" I.D. x 75' Flexzilla Hose
$223
We have one of these in the Heavy equipment shop and I love the auto rewind feature. It has a follower just like you see in a fishing reel. The $60 in hose is nice a well, no more kinks)
