Reelcraft RT835 OMP 1/2 Inch by 35 Feet Spring Driven Hose Reel for Oil – Reviews

Researching hose reels lead me to Reelcraft, the apparent quality standard in the industry. Models and types of reels too numerous to mention gave excellent choice to fit one to my home garage air compressor system I designed.

The original reel arrived extremely quickly from Amazon.com. Following manufacturer instructions printed out from www.reelcraft.com showing how to adjust the hose feed arm where I wanted it, I then mounted it high on the garage wall. I decided to adjust the feed arm again to a better position, and in releasing the spring coil tension as directed, the spring disengaged, and I lost all recoil action. If you adjust the feed arm be very careful not to over-rotate the reel when releasing the tension. In my opinion better instructions should have been given by Reelcraft as to how to perform this step.

Amazon.com’s Customer Service was excellent! A short telephone call has a replacement on its way right now. Customer service at Reelcraft (800-444-3134) itself though left me befuddled. They told me even even though I had registered the 2 year warranty online that the distributor (Amazon.com) was responsible for warranty service, not Reelcraft. This makes no sense whatsoever but thankfully Amazon is correcting my problem.

I would never use this Reelcraft model in a business shop, but for my garage and worshop at home it seems built well enough and should do what I expect from it, particularly at the excellent price Amazon sold it for.
