Retractable air line recomendations

[Lazurus]

I have got some nice ones that came out of the honda plant if you want a used one.

For new, screwfix had pcl ones for £100 reduced from £150 when I looked a couple of weeks ago.

There are also draper (and many clones of) that are much cheaper but come with a machine mart/toolstation warranty although I have never known anybody have much luck sourcing replacement springs or parts once the warranty is out.

Like more info if you are looking to move one on?

@Edward Teach howdid you wind it around just by pushing the hose round and trough the holeand all the way over?

I let the hose retract, so the end of the hose went through the guide hole,
And proceeded to wind/tighten the drum,
Round and round three or four times,
Hoping, not to let go of the drum, and have a spinning wheel
Put the hose back through the guide hole, and give it a test,
Making sure I could pull the hose all the way out if needed.

edit:
The fun part when I replaced my hose, was winding the drum spring, before I attached the new hose,
I think I held the drum against the guide, with two pair of vice grips

that might not work for me i have to push the last few metres back manually

Manually wind the hose around the drum,, turning the drum,
edit: Then tighten the drum spring as you go, and see what happens,
Easier said than done if your access is not helpful.
