Hey guys,

These work well if you don't mind hand cranking them.  They don't leak, made in 
the US and should last a lifetime.  Replacement parts are available:

Tried the HF one and found it leaked as soon as I opened the box. Back it went
b/c who wants to deal with that bs.
There are some really nice, Made in USA, "pro" reels on Amazon, but couldn't
justify spending that much.  Went with a Griot's garage one and have been
happy the last year with it.  I had heard good things including how they stand
behind the products they sell.  I'm sure the reel is a design you could find
cheaper elsewhere...
With the recent cold snap it got down to 15F while in the garage a couple
nights ago, and the hose was stiff but not impossible to use.
What I did find interesting is that the quick release hose connections for my
impact gun and tire filler both leaked a little bit.  They never do that, but
I don't usually work in the garage with air tools in that kind of cold either.
Weird.
