Reelcraft DP7000 Series Air/Water Hose Reel

Staying sturdy and steady is what the Reelcraft DP7000 Series Air/Water Hose Reel excels at. This reel can be mounted just about anywhere, and thanks to its dual pedestal design, it will be very stable. On top of that, the heavy-duty steel construction and corrosion-resistant finish give the reel high durability.Of course, it’s also easy to use. Simply pull out the hose to unreel it. Thanks to the declutching arbor, the hose will automatically recoil itself when pulled on again. With the bumper stop, it will ensure the hose doesn’t retract too far.
