A small retractable air hose reel is definitely a useful tool that makes the life for do-it-yourself people or craftmens easier. It may appear like a long hose that can become clogged or dirty if left on the floor. This hose features a retractable reel that the user can pull out when necessary and become automatically rolled back inside to use for the next job. It keeps your desk clutter-free and safe. Small reels are wonderful because they consume little space yet manage to store enough hose for plenty of jobs. Yongye has struck a fantastic balance with the strength and locking of these reels. They do a good job in spots where tools require air power, such as factories or repair shops. A retractable air hose and reel saves you time, and for construction workers that means time to focus on the job instead of fussing with a messy coil of hoses.
If you want your small air compressor hose to last really a long time and work great – for many years, you need to take care of it. Here at Yongye, we want you to understand a few simple ways to maintain your air hose with retractable reel in excellent condition. Always inspect the hose for any damage or wear. Check for cracks, holes or weak spots in the hose before and after each use. If you do find any issues, repair them promptly or replace the hose in order to put a stop to leaks and keep the air flowing smoothly.
Next, when retrieving the air hose pull it out slowly and steadily. If you pull too hard or too fast, the hose will snap back with excess force, potentially damaging the spring in the reel or even ripping holes in your hose. Yongye’s compact retractable air hose reels feature a unique spring inside the reel that automatically guides the hose back into place. If you allow the hose to snap back too quickly, the spring could break or the hose may become entangled.
The size of the hose is also a consideration. The majority of small air hose reels use hoses that are either 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch. A smaller hose (such as a 1/4 inch) will be lighter and more flexible than a larger hose; however, this comes at the expense of air that is moved (cfm), with most truck-mounts needing a minimum of 200 feet by 2.5" – 3" hose to run line in a residential home. A thicker hose (such as a 3/8-inch) allows more air to flow, so it’s helpful for larger and more powerful tools like impact wrenches or spray guns. Yongye provides both sizes on all of its retractable air hose reel so you can select the best size for your tools.
When there’s no reel, air hoses turn into nothing but a tangled, dirty or stretched mess on the floor. This can lead to tripping and hose untangling, but also a waste of time, as often the yard crew will need to sit down on the curb and pull all the leads into place before getting started. The retractable small air hose reels from Yongye work in much the same way, allowing you to store the hose themselves on a reel that pulls out and rewinds easily. This prevents users from harmful dust.
