FAQs
In daily shop use yes. The spring tension is consistent for years, parts are serviceable, and the swivels do not leak. Generic reels often fail within a year of heavy use.
For most impact tools and blow guns, 3/8 inch is plenty. Go to 1/2 inch if you run sandblasters or anything that needs sustained high CFM.
