P15-D24 Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 I have an air hose reel in my garage which recently wouldn't stay in lockdown position. No name on the reel only a small sticker with a model number and S/N. Google search suggested it might be a Sears product (parts not available) or maybe Reelcraft. However a search of the Reelcraft website didn't have the model number. But the website listed a Customer Support number so lI figured I would give it a try. First, a live person answered on the second ring! She confirmed it wasn't one of their standard model numbers but asked me to hold on so she could check a cross reference to OEM models they may have manufactured. She was able to identify it to a current model number, pointed me to the online parts list, repair manual and repair video to guide the repair. Lastly she gave me a list of parts suppliers as they don't sell directly to the public. It doesn't get any better than that for customer service! So if you looking for a hose reel check out Reelcraft! 4 1 Quote
JBNeal Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 I recently snagged a small Reelcraft from one of my downsizing neighbors, along with the story of how he liberated it from a dumpster with several others when the company his son worked for abruptly closed shop...it's a model that has been out of production for years, but Reelcraft still supports this and was able to download repair info and order a new swivel. I've worked around these for a long time, and ya get what ya pay for as these are quality devices that can take years of abuse ? Quote

Tooljunkie Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 I think they have been around a long time. Nothing like having tools and equipment you can pass down to the next generation. Quote
