Coxreels Hand Crank Hose Reel Obsessed Garage

At the 2017 SEMA show, I had a few items I was in search of for my garage. One was a hose reel. I needed one for my pressure washer and reels for both power cords and air compressor hose. I had to go over to the industry-specific show called AAPEX, which runs at the same time as SEMA and found Coxreels. I’d never heard of them, but I knew almost instantly these would be the reels I wanted in my garage.

The next issue was getting my hands on them to see which made sense. A lot of these industrial-grade products aren’t so easy to buy. You certainly aren’t going to find them at your local hardware store. Plus, they have a 60-page catalog full of options. Which one do we choose? And they are so costly; buying 10 of them to try doesn’t make sense. I narrowed it down to 4 options for the pressure washer, discussed it with their technical team, and was down to 3. Then, I ordered 2 of them to see which made the most sense, and here we are. 

This is a US-made, no-frills, super high-quality, compact reel that fits neatly under the 18″ stainless shelf I’ve sourced for my on-wall pressure washing solution. This is the smallest option. The others had more features, but they were too bulky or stuck too far off the wall. This one holds up to 100′ of 5/8″ outside diameter pressure washer hose. It’s shown with the 100′ 5/8″ OD High-Pressure hose. It still works and looks good with a 50′ or 75′ hose on it, but I recommend sticking with at least 75’.

If you want to mount the Coxreels hand crank hose reel on a wall that has studs, make sure you also check out the Stainless Steel Coxreels Hose Reel Mount we have for the reels; this allows for easier installation on 16″ on center studs.

Note this reel is NOT recommended to be used with a garden hose. We recommend Eley Hose Reels. If you still want to use this reel for a garden hose, it will work, but you can only fit 50’ of hose, and you will need some adapters. For the inlet of the reel: 3/4″ Female GHT to 3/8″ Male NPT. For the outlet of the reel: 3/4″ Male GHT to 3/8″ Male NPT.
