You mean both the hose and the reel?

"4679 Features: -Air hose reel.-Heavy duty rubber air hose.-Reel material: Heavy gauge all steel.-8 Position ratchet gearing locks reel at desired hose length.-Features auto rewind and spring powered automatic recoil.-Mount reel on ceiling, wall or floor.-Industrial grade.-Made in the USA.-20.25" H x 8.88" W x 22.13" D, 47.51 lbs."

Are the Goodyear reels Made in the USA too? I remember those showed up on Woot a few months ago for about the same price.

The 46771, 46781, and 46791 all have USA hose, but the reel isn't. I've never noticed this, but I'll make sure it gets fixed.

The reel isn't but the hose is. We have it shipped to our factory.

Did these go up in price recently? I bought mine at Tractor Supply a couple years ago for $80. 3/8 50ft model.

I love mine, great value for the price!

I ordered what I thought was just the hose reel (I have a hose already) from Mills Fleet Farm for $55, but when it was delivered today it was the one with the hose. Then I looked on their website, and they no longer have the Tekton reel any more. What they do have is a MIT reel, which is the same company for $78. http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/mit-retractable-air-hose-reel-50-ft-hose/0000000003379 It ends up being ~$90 with shipping.

Thanks Bill, I actually might pick up the manual reel for my Flexeel hose. I have a Fleet Farm right down the street.

What brand of hose is on the MIT reel?

...I'm not sure what the hose on the MIT one is. The hose that came with the Tekton reel I got says "Tekton" on it, and the the box says "made in china." But some people have said that the hose is USA, I'm not sure. The hose that mine came with seems nice, but I'll have to see once I've used it a while. It doesn't matter to me since I was just after the reel when I bought it (I have a 50ft Goodyear hose I was going to use on it).


Jonny, if you go to Fleet Farm, take a look at the hose on the MIT reel and report back. Probably a few people that wold be interested :thumbup:

It's still the Tekton brand, made by MIT. It does say China on the box, but without opening it up I can't see what the hose says. They weren't selling any rubber Tekton hoses, but their hybrid hose is made in the USA.
