This robust, retractable air hose is ideally suited to daily use in commercial and domestic workshops, garages, maintenance shops etc.. The rubber air hose, housed on a steel reel, is easily deployed when needed and conveniently retracts when not in use. A strong ratchet ensures it doesn't rewind unexpectedly. It also means only the required length is deployed and not its entire length. This has the added benefit of ensuring the hose is out the way and less likely to get damaged.
