[Shop-talk] Air Hose Reel

[Richard Beels]

You don't need an extra leader hose, just loosen the clamping screws 
on the "stopper" and slide it down the hose until it's where you want 
it to be and tighten the screws.

And the reels go on sale every other month or so at my local store so 
if they're not when you first go there, just wait....   :-)
