This item was always out of stock, so I subscribed a few times to receive notifications when it is back in stock. During a month I got a few notifications, but when I followed the link, it was always OOS. After a few weeks, I finally was able to catch it in stock, ordered for a discounted price $20, and received it.
I didn't use it yet, but it looks sturdy and you definitely not find a steel reel for this price without a deal. What I do not really like - that's reel size. It's for the 200 feet hose and I didn't realize how it's big. But that's my inattentiveness, not the issue with the product.

Damn, I paid more than this JUST for the reel at Home Depot. I think it was $25, and didn't come with a hose. So this is a good deal.
Now, the comments on plastic and breaking... yeah they don't last forever. Heat & sunshine & use will wear them out. I think my last ones made it about 10 years before the plastic just started cracking and shattering. But honestly I doubt my hoses last that long either.

could i use this for a air compressor hose, 3/8", mounted inside the garage?
I would suggest buying an air hose reel dedicated for that purpose. I'm sure you could make it work but the default connections help with the application (air vs. water)
I hate these cheap-o reels. I've owned two houses and have owned two reels. Both were Eley's: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1 Sure, it's WAY more expensive but when it takes literally 1-2 min of prep and 30 seconds to reel, you'll never go back. One is from 2014 and the other 2018.

I've got one of the Walmart reels that's over 20 years old and still works great. Just recently replaced the short faucet connecting hose.
How do you mount these over the siding and make sure you don't poke hole in a pipe or something. Is all siding backed by wood to carry reels and hose full of water?
