    I ordered one and everything you linked below that I needed. Put everything together today. It seems like the water comes out at a higher PSI now which is a good thing. This is a set up I wanted but didn’t know what I needed or where to start. Thanks for the video.
  • @rubenharris9241
    Thanks for doing this one Keav! It’s excellent. I plan to include this in my next build. Much appreciated.
  • Loving the bloopers man 👍 😂 and great review on this reel.. the added details you include are priceless!
  • @viperrcr
    Great video Keav! Love your content! I think I might try to get this reel setup after seeing your helpful tips.
  • @jtekz_
    dope video appreciate all the videos you put out! keep it up!
  • Really enjoyed the video and the Bloopers had me cracking up...I really needed that laugh, thank you.
  • Great video! On your recommendation I purchased and just installed this FixFans reel. For those wondering about max hose length capacity, I paired it with a 75 ft 3/8 inch Kevlar hose from BluShield (non-marking). This hose fits but the reel runs out of tension when rolling the hose back in. For me it keeps stopping short at the last 4-5 feet. This is not a show-stopper as you can manually turn the reel and wind in the final feet of hose. I mated this setup to a new Active 2.0 pressure washer and I am LOVING IT.
  • @GibbyDIY
    Hi there. One thing I did for the Uber flex hose. I cut the black housing off one end, added a M22 male coupler, to at M22-14 female to 3/8'' plug. Works great! You just have to pull the hose through before adding the M22-14 female to 3/8'' plug. Wish I could load a pic to show it. Thanks for all the great content!
  • @mytrung
    Damn this looks so good. My only reservation was a manual reel might be annoying to use. Hopefully there’s a bigger 100ft one variant soon. But for now I think this is the route I’m going! Thanks as always.
  • @chavezsergio4496
    Hey. Another great video and perfectly timed. I bought the same reel after seeing one of your videos. I also bought the Waterdrop spotless filter system from your review. I’m just waiting on the new home to get built so I can install. Appreciate the install tips.
  • @JoshPhillips7781
    I converted an air reel. Using a flexzilla hose on a Reelworks air reel. Had to cut a 1.5" hole with a rubber grommet and m22 adapters. Works flawlessly.
  • @NextMRV
    this was made for detailing so i understand but I wish there was a 200ft 3/8 option so I didn't have to use a manual reel for my rig
  • @wescat2
    If we ever move and I get a garage I want one exactly like Keav 😀
  • @kevinstover5155
    I have the same but different brand. Got it for $94 on sale 2 weeks ago. Already converted it to my Comet 1700 with their hose. If you let it unwind uncontrolled, lookout, it’s got some danger to it. Ask me how I know. Not much of a pain to Frankenstein but had to order npt 15mm connectors. Works great!👍🏽
  • @ken8516
    do you have a vacuum breaker or backflow preventer at the spigot/hose bib? do you get any back pressure of water squirting out at any couplers?
  • @ChiGalKMcAcura
    I’ve been looking for a retractable hose reel. This looks easy enough too. Do you have to mount or can I sit it on the ground until I find the perfect wall spot?
  • @KenyonPayne
    Have you reviewed the 3/8 x 100' uberflex hose? Curious how it is vs kobrajet and blue shield
  • Hello ... any idea if 1/4 hose 100ft would retract properly on this reel ?? .. Thanks !!
  • I have blushield. Comes with the hose Everything assembled just plug and play. Better value for $250 with the high quality hose . I got mine at tool barn for less than $200
