The airline is a thin horrible plastic that does nothing but twist & kink, don't bother.

You can get a reasonably decent one with a proper hose on ebay from £50.

I picked up the die grinder today for 9.99 looks half decent but I wish they wouldn't fit euro fittings on all their air stuff I am PCL all round makes it a pain.....

I have the Aldi version in the garage at home, get used most weekends and some evenings, so far it's survived over 2 years of use. In a commercial workshop it would have died by now, but in a home workshop its OK for the money....

^^^ its the restriction of air that i was more worried about

i have 2 conpressers in the garage one very small about a foot and a bit long and 8 inch high i do have a 2.5 foot x1.5 ish as well but most of the stuff i do only reqiures cleaning low pressure stuff untill last night i had to re move a wheel off sons bike i used the small compresser let it run to full power and put on my 1/2 inch inpact and its worked but the air died realy quick but saved me from getting the big one out

I bought the Clarke one as sold by MM (mentioned above) its proved to be reliable, at least for my homeworkshop use.

The Euro connectors are provided free and flow better than PCL. I have changed from PCL to Euro on all of my equipment.

 

[Cobbler]

The euro connectors are the same as PCL XF, cheapest place seems to be Screwfix. I’ve changed my meagre amount of kit over to it.

I bought the Aldi workzone air line reel thing, its only a small diameter hose but really handy for blow guns

It was the Lidl stuff that prompted me to start replacing all my PCL ordinary with Euro / XF and damn glad I did. It makes a difference to air-hungry tools if you also feed them with decent bore pipe. Only slight annoyance is having to mail order them, as local stockists are still stuck in the 1970s with the PCL ordinary. I must chivvy them up a bit.

 

[Ruffian]

I have the Parkside air reel.

Runs my tyre changer and inflator fine.
Can run a da through it but can tell a little down on power.

Windy nut gun don't bother.

But for the cost it's ideal for what I want it for as not a heavy air tool user at home anymore since going cordless etc

Aldi workzone air line reel

+1 got one in the domestic garage roof, used for tyre pumping, cleaning

Easy out, easy in, probably about 3 years old

I know it will fail at some point but cheap enough not to worry about. much easier to use than rolling out the 10mm hose

Sorry the hose reel
