Coxreels 112-3-150 Hand Crank Hose Reel - Steel Spool for Coiling Hoses and Cables - Rotating Storage Reel with Manual Crank - Fits 3/8 x 150 Inch Hose - 12 x 18.25 x 13 Inches

I purchased this reel to go with my wall mounted Active 2.0 power washer found herehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BK25S1FW?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleThe reel is very sturdy and well built. Highly recommend. It has a tension brake to keep the hose right where it is. Very nice brass fittings. This reel will definitely last the test of time. When I received it, on the back is a square bracket with like 5.7" space in between for mounting.For mounting on the wall if you have drywall say in your garage and you dont want to cut the wall and put in a center brace. You will need a bracket that spans across the 16" studs to allow you to mount the bracket. I found mine at clean garage. Once mounted up. I couldn't be happier. Looks great.I paired mine with the shelf herehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9GQPNN9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Purchased for DIY custom wall mounted Active 2.0 pressure washer and reel combo. Selected the Cox over some of the lower priced options due to overall build quality, and a bit more compact against the wall for my space.Reel is very heavy duty, did notice one chip in the powder coating inside the reel, but not with returning for exchange, Will hit with some touch up paint to prevent rusting.Note will need to purchase whip hose to connect to pressure washer separately. I used a quick connect plug to connect the hose to the reel, since my hose already had male quick connects attached and did not have a swivel end.

Went through three cheap, plastic hose reels in 8 years before I realized I don’t make enough money to buy cheap tools. Mounted this on the side of our house with 3/4” adapters + fittings and a 3/4” garden hose. Complete pain to install because this thing is heavy! Lag bolts through cedar 2x4s in an “h” shape did the trick. Provides more than enough pressure for what we need, unrolls and rolls the garden hose back up with ease. Completely over-engineered by design. It’s probably going to outlast the rest of the house. This thing is sturdy and very well made.

Purchased on 10/2024. Use it for my home car wash system. I probably wash my cars 2x a month. After 6 months the plastic break broke. Most of it is well made surprised that it has weak plastic parts that broke after 12 uses.Contacted Cox Reel and to repair it they want me to buy pop rivet tool and metal drill bit, watch multiple videos. The other option they gave me was ship the reel back to them and they would fix it. Problem with that option is they will not pay for the box and packing.I would go with something else

Definitely expensive but build quality is top notch I am really enjoying this hose reel.I did have to buy a internal connection piece to connect my pressure washer hose up on the inside but it was available at home depot (see picture of inside of reel)Also I had to be mounted on a peice of wood as it is less the 16 inches wide so you can not mount directly to studs

Pros: Nice heavy gauge metal in the base which creates a very clean design, nice blue powder coat color, compact design, good warranty, decent price point, receptive customer service.Cons: Runout on the axle shafts that I think is part of the welding process and also a function of the design where each stub axle is welded to the drum side disk without have a solid single axle. The handle was the worst, small weak looking plastic bearings that were not molded all that well. The bearings are retained by a thin strap of metal held in place by pop rivets. If this unit is wall mounted the force of recovering the hose goes against those pop rivets those small straps. Take a close look at the photos.I would suggest you compare this to the Hannay 1000 series which is sold on Amazon and other places. Note the Hannay reel image on Amazon for the 1016-14-16 is not correct. It shows a very streamlined base and the current Hannay base has mounting flanges external to the base so not quite as clean of a design.Bottom line this still might be the right reel for you. It all depends on your wishes and the use. I am pretty fussy on tools and this did not quite meet my expectations hence the 4 stars.

This reel is smooth like butter. Handles everything I thow at it like a boss. It locks in place and is super sturdy. You get what you pay for! No leaks, connections are top notch. I just wish it came with a whip.

Solid piece of equipment!
