DeWalt DXCM024-0343 Double Arm Hose Reel with 3/8” x 50’ Premium Rubber Hose

The DEWALT 50-foot retractable air hose reel has been a great investment. I’ve used it for nearly two years in a shop environment, and it still works like new. The build quality is excellent — the housing is tough, the retraction system is smooth, and the hose itself hasn’t cracked or worn.Ease of use is a big plus. It retracts cleanly every time, locks where you want it, and swivels freely on the mount. For shop or garage setups, it keeps the space clean and efficient.Highly recommended for both professional and home use.Q&A:Q: Does the reel retract smoothly after extended use?A: Yes — after nearly 2 years, the retraction is still smooth and reliable.Q: Is the hose itself durable and kink-resistant?A: Absolutely — the hose is heavy-duty and holds up well to daily use without kinking.Q: Is the reel housing made of metal or plastic?A: The housing is durable steel, not plastic. It feels solid and built for long-term shop use.

I have been searching for a decent air hose reel for about a week and decided on this one. It had the features of a hose reel that I demanded. I has a double arm build rather than single as many are. To me this is sign of better quality. I wanted an open reel vs a enclosed one. If the hose would roll up over its self I wanted the ability to be able to straighten it where in a closed reel application I would not. I like the 4 hefty rollers at the hose dispenser which will allow easy pull and return at any angle. This is a very heavy, well built unit. I'm sure I will need a second set of hands to mount this at the ceiling where I intend to hang it. It functions very smoothly. Absolutely no complaints.Yes, the hose is stamped, (Made in China) but is appears to be a very good quality and pliable. Changing hoses if necessary will not be a problem is the need should ever arise.I went this unit largely because of the DeWalt name. This air hose reel did not disappoint.

I like the quality of this reel the locking system is great and the hose is not of cheap quality 300 psi. Exactly what you would want from a DeWalt product. A 50’ hose is more than enough to reach all areas of my shop. Mounting was easy enough although this is a little heave, but it is highly quality steel.

I've been using this for several months now and have no complaints. It's installed about 12 feet up a wall in a a barn and fed from a compressor in the loft. . Real glad I got it. It helps a lot.

I am a real reviewer (Amazon customer since 1997) and the pictures from a real project using this air hose.Below is my review using the Pros and Cons format.BLUF: I recommend this air hose. However, upgrade to a 6ft air supply hose because the 3ft hose that is supplied will leak at the connection.-Pro:1. Much cheaper on amazon when compared to Lowes or Home Depot (as of 11JAN2021).2. Easily retracts and locked into place.3. Heavy Duty. Feels and looks solid. Doesn't feel cheap.Cons.1. The 3ft air supply line is just too short. I recommend upgrading to a 6ft line.2. The 3ft air supply line will leak as others on here as warned. I didn't want to believe the negative review but it is true. It will leak at the connection.I hope this helps.

I installed this hanging from the ceiling of my garage. I didn't like the way the fair-lead was oriented out of the box, so I dis-assembled the fair-lead from the arm, rotated the arm and re-attached the fair-lead so that the hose hangs straight down from the overhead reel, with the reel turned to put the inlet fitting on the side closest to the compressor. Not a big deal, but not discussed in the manual, so a bit off-the-road. Overhead mounting requires a very sturdy mounting because this thing is heavy and will endure many cycles of pulling out and recoil. I sure don't want it to fall and scuff the floor.The operation is smooth and reliable, no flex in the fair-lead arm and the spring has just-right tension. The hose pulls smoothly and is flexible. The only thing I don't like is listening for the clicking sound that indicates the hose is locked in place. Works fine if I'm close or it's quiet; not as easy if I'm pulling the hose out into the driveway or there is noise in the garage. Minor, but worth mentioning.

Works reely good!

After three years of usage I have found this product to be made with the lowest quality components I have ever used. The hose is continuously rupturing and in need of repair. The locking mechanism is constantly failing and in need of repairs. After contacting customer service I found the rudeness, lack of empathy and complete lack of professionalism was the “cherry-on-top”
