I run a 3/8 hose and have not had any issues. I followed your instructions and no issues.
Right on James glad to hear. Thank you for watching.
Great point on audience retention I always watch all the way through so I get all the nuggets 👊🏽 stay slick!!
Thank you brother.
I’ve had mine for a couple months since you posted the first video and man was it worth it! Thanks man
Right on glad you dig it
I think the video is very well explained. Works very well for me and I'm using a 75 ft quarter inch hose with it along with 1800 psi electric pressure washer 3 months later. Still no leaks. Thank you very much for a cost effective pressure washer hose reel.
Right on glad to hear.
Still going with no leaks?
Think I could fit 100ft uberflex?
@@kylepapke9357 no because the spring is only rated to retract 50 feet of hose you were going to have to get a dedicated 100 foot retractable real
I really liked your first video, your second video cleared a few things up ! Thanks
Glad to help
My man thanks for this video updating my little rig this year with reels.
Right on man thank you for watching glad to help.
You tell them, Gary ! Just listen and watch. You'll learn a lot. Stay slick!!👍
Exactly.
I wondered that myself about the 300psi...I mean it's metal so if Seals are good cool.
Great follow up / update !!!
I love the way your intro is short and Welcoming!!!
Thank you very much I appreciate that
My dudes at it again !! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Excellent video, waiting on the parts to arrive to do just this and setup reel on my garage wall
Thank you!!! Such a better (affordable) solution to Coxreels. Well done.
Yes exactly. I’m sure we would all by the Cox real if we had that kind of disposable money, but this is more realistic for the general population.
I did this setup last night. Really glad I did. Thanks for making the video and giving us links to buy the right products
Right on brother glad you like it. Let me know how it goes.
It busted. So I did a bypass and just use it as a reel and then connect it when it's all out
Gary is one of the VERY few real ones on YT. He adds value that’s applicable, useful and actually works:)! I mounted mine to a Rigid rolling tool cart. Looks cool and I love it. Thank you! Btw would you recommend completely unreeling the hose before turning pw on? I also turn water and unit off before reeling up. Not sure if it’s necessary but working great so far 👍.
I don’t really do any of that. I’m rough on my things and I want them to work the way I want them to work so I don’t usually take any precautions. They may be a bad thing but hey that’s who I am.
@@StaySlick That’s awesome. Appreciate the feedback.
You answered my question. Thanks for the info 👍 !
Right on brotha Lalo
Thanks Gary I did this with a different harbor, freight hose reel. I may have already commented on it but it only helps the algorithm. Stay Slick
I’m getting some black colored water when I first use. Anyway, I love your content and I always get some value out of what you say.
Interesting I haven’t had that happen. Thank you for watching brother.
Great video you’ve motivated me to pull the trigger and do this watching your video for the 4th time now. So tired of wrapping my hose up with ties can’t wait to finally have a retractable reel.
Also do you have a video on your entire set up like the type of wood you used to mount everything to ? Sorry I’m new here
Do it man it’s awesome. I have a truck setup video but I don’t go into depth on the wood.
Great tips very informative thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽 always the ones that are lost only watch 50% and wonder why it doesn’t work for them
Exactly.
Don't hurt em' Gary! Great video brother!
Haha just spittin it straight.
I've had this setup in my garage hooked up to an Active 2.0 for over a year now, no issues what so ever.
Great Video, keep up the good work!
Thank you bro
i watched all the video and learn alot ❤
Your first video on this modification save me a lot of time and effort I have mine hooked up to my active 2.0 pressure washer and it runs awesome I do have some small leakage from the same places you talked about but it's not a big deal I just disconnect all the water problem solved
You might try tightening down that fitting on the side right by the one that spins around you can actually tighten down to stop that leak I believe
I'm really looking forward to doing this. Once it warms up (it's 1 degree out lol).
Wow that’s crazy
Yeah i didnt get that 1st step in the first vid think my reel is shot..thanks for the update
building my trailer setup now! I have a ryobi pressure washer that would work perfect for this upgrade.
Right on that’s the first pressure washer is used with this reel
Found my weekend project.
Great job
Thank you for the updates keep up the videos also suggestion
Make a video with a quick connect for the foam cannon
I’m sorry what do you mean?
@@StaySlick quick connect wall mount for the foam cannon
How to build one
Just did the exact same setup, except I'm using it a 25ft Uberflex hose coupled with the stock Active 2.0 hose it works fine. Yes, I'm going to upgrade to a 50ft so this is just temporary but incase anybody was curious.
I use mine on my gas 3200 psi and hasn't leaked or blew a gasket at all yet but I got mine off Amazon so far I love it
Which one did you get?
Is it still working fam???
Did this to my rig last week thanks to your help. I unfortunately blew the seal out yesterday during a job. I use an electric pressure washer but a very powerful one with adjustable pressure. Turned it up and boom. I’ll have to keep the pressure low after I fix it.
What pressure did it blow at?
How did you fix it?
Hi thanks for your video, I just spent weeks ordering parts and a bunch of time taking it apart and drilling out the hole big enough to fit the hose in and after all that it leaks like crazy from the fitting that came with the hose reel, the part where you said there two pressure fittings, it is spraying hard and lots of water leaking, I feel like I have just wasted a bunch of money and time and want to dump this reel in the garbage, this my last ditch attempt, but is there anyway to fix the leak on the fitting or should I just throw it away? Any info would be appreciated thank you
Have you ever had to replace the seals? Are they replaceable? That would be a good video. Replacement of the seals with nitrile seals.
Just finished watching the update , which I would of know about the air hose before I took it off , now I have some slack hanging out so I might have to figure out how to tighten it up so it’s not loose, either way it worked now I have to hand it in the van
If you watch the original video, it tells you to pull the hose all the way out first. Don’t feel bad. A lot of people missed that part.
@@StaySlick yeah I think I missed it but I had bought the real to do that and instead of waiting to get all the parts I needed I pulled the air hose off instead of waiting
I NEVER CLICKED THROUGH YOUR VIDEOS. YOU GET RIGHT TO THE POINT WHY IS THAT SO HARD? MOST OF US GET IDEAS FROM EACH OTHER SO WHY TRY TO ACT LIKE YOU E VENTED SLICED BREAD, OR THE WHEEL??? DAM I LOVED THIS VIDEO. BEFORE I KNEW IT, IT WAS OVER AND EVERYTHING WAS EXPLAINED! TEACH MOFOS HOW TO MAKE VIDEOS LOL!
Right on man thank you that’s a great complement. Yeah I agree with that. Just get to the point and share real info.
Have you tried this on a “Quad Pod” hose reel such as the one from Goodyear? I am thinking it would be great for added length when your stationary reel is not long enough… simply carry the Quad Pod to the end of the line and you have another 100 feet available. I ask because the fittings are different. Thanks
Do you think this would work for a 5/8 water hose? Just for supplying water
People are simply lazy. They want you to do it for them like literally. But good stuff man. I’m about to give this a go. I’m tired of reeling my hose
True. Right on let me know if you need help
Just did it. Order the 3 parts, got the reel and it wasn’t hard to follow the steps👍🏽easyyy money
Good deal man
i think im gonna go to the harbor freight and use my 25% coupon right now thanks for the video ! do you think the ryobi 1800 psi will be okay with this setup?
Yes, that is the unit that I use
I need to find a reel for a 100 ft hose. Thinking of switching to a bed setup since gas mileage is so bad in my trailer setup like yours.
There you go man. I wouldn’t go back
I seen on here that Mosmatic might have a high psi rated swivel fitting that you can buy?
They do but it’s the price of a new reel
I made the mistake of not pulling the hose all the way out originally so when I replaced the original air hose with the pressure washer one it doesn’t retract all the way. What would you do to fix it?
If you upgrade the pump do you think that will allow it to work for gas pressure washer Which seal leaks ?
No it has to do with the seals on the reel. not the Pump. The seals where the reel rotates and meets the water Inlet
🙏🙏🙏
how has that active 2.0 been treating you? will you have another update video on it maybe with psi testing?
It’s been amazing.
Hello, how's the reel and the fittings holding up? Any newly developed leaks? Thanks
Working perfectly.
Would this be fine to run with the active 2.0 since it's a little beefier compared to the ryobis and whatnot
Yes that’s what I use
I want to do this in my Van .how much leakage do you get when it first build or releases pressure ?
Sometimes I get a couple drops. Sometimes I get no drops. It’s never anything significant.
this man spitting facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know wassup
What if you have a 3/8 cobra jet hose and your reel is 3/8? Do you still need certain fittings to make this work?
Yes same fittings apply
Brother I got a question right on minute and 30 seconds you said that the 3 part is the hose that go to pressure washer okay on there I have the 25 ft from ryobi and I’m being losing pressure you think is okay to replace it with a 5ft air pressure hose ?
I would just get the whip that I linked in the description
@@StaySlick okay sounds good thanks a lot , yeah cause that hose that i have it says it’s 300 psi i think it would not handle that
Gary I followed all your steps and converted a reel long story but my Uber flex hose was never delivered from Amazon so I purchased a yamatic hose locally but I notice severe loss of pressure is this common to lose power or is it the hose or can it be my unit wondering if you have an idea ?
You shouldn’t lose any pressure.
@@StaySlick thanks for taking the time to reply I should have watch your video about the yamatic hose before I bought it in gonna try another hose maybe it’s my unit that is not working properly thanks again
I'm using this on my gas predator pressure washer with no probems except the occasional drip at the same place you said you have a drip when pressure is released
Weird question but can you not just use the air hose that comes on the reels? I’ve always wondered
The fitting is rated for 300 psi. The pressure washer is 1000 -1300 psi. Upgrade the fitting to 3000 psi.
The seal finally gave up on me today :(
Using an electric pressure washer
Any recommendations on seal upgrade ?
Awww man sorry to hear that. I’ve heard a few companies make them I think mosmatic makes one.
I'm using a Ryobi 1900 electric PW, I've had the seals blow on my 3 times. Any way to upgrade the seals so that doesn't happen?
I just bought nitrile seals from harbor freight and silicone grease. I’m going to retry.
@@StaySlick how did the seals worked for you?
my question is what would happen if it where to fail? does it simply spray water all over the place at high pressure or are we talking about a chunk of metal breaking off one of the fittings and flying somewhere unpredictable?
From what I’ve experienced, it’s just water
has any tried changing the reel swivel with nice mosmatic hose reel swivel? cox, general pump, titan. all sell hose reel swivels I just don't know if it would thread on to this reel.
Never tried it. Good idea.
👀 👀 👀
The problem is that snap ring breaks its game over, and it happened to me while I was detailing, tried fixing it replacing the o ring after it broke. Be aware of the snap ring and O rings.
The o ring usually blows out first. Never heard of the snap ring breaking
@Stay Slick the snap ring failed on me, but I'll share this info since I didn't want to give up on the reel, my recommendation to prevent any leakage, wrap plumbers tape where the O-ring is meant to go then place the O ring until its nice and snug. After that test it a few times if no water leaks, then your good. Will give an update to see how long it goes without leaking problems.
@@ArcHourGaming any updates I blew my o ring just today
Little common sense goes a long way brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Exactly
Will this work with a 100ft line ?
No unfortunately the spring is only set to retract 50 feet
Great DIY and explanation. Keep it reel. See what I did there?
Haha clever.
Does it every get annoying with the hose not working
The hose works all the time
Can your wash vehicles COMFORTABLY with 50 feet. Like is it enough.
I ran 100’ at one point and it became more of an annoyance than blessing.
@@StaySlick wow. 100’ on that same reel. Nice video and I’ve been following you for quite some time.
@cedricchoice9750 thank you bro.
I keep blowing the seal where the water hooks up to the reel any suggestions?
What pressure washer are you running?
If the seal blows anyway to fix it ??
What pressure washer are you running ?
Active 2.0
@@StaySlick will that reel still work good with a gravity fed ryobi 1.2 gpm ?
Absolutely that’s what I had before
What happens if you blow out the seal?
It’ll spray water out of the side of the reel. My buddy said he was able to put it back together each time so I’m assuming it’s fixable I’ll have to test it out.
ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER REMEMBER THAT GAS PRESSURE WASHER USERS💯
If you want retention, add the labels to different sections and maybe even show a 3-to-5-second-long breakdown/schedule at the beginning of the video. That way, people can get what they came for. Sometimes people make LOOONG videos with a bunch of unnecessary riffraff that ends up being a waste of time. There's SO MUCH content out there that you have to sift through to find what you're looking for. If you let people know what to expect, they'll probably keep coming back. The TikTok attention-span helps noone...
Are you gravity fed
Yes sir
Great video. But Shouldnt have a problem using a proper 5800 psi rated hose and using that same reel that your using surely that would work if you put the correct hose on it. That reel is solid.
Unfortunately no. The problem is that this entire reel relies solely on the psi rating of the swivel. I know from experience it’s no more than 1500 psi.
Regret doing this conversion my set up leaks like crazy.
Worked less than 1 hour of total use with my active 2.0
I’m really sorry to hear that man. I got 6 months out of mine.
Hey bro, what size plywood do you recommend like thickness wise?
As thick as you can afford.
@@StaySlick what do you recommend I have the same reels u got doing the mod
sir you did not mention u have to reel it all the way to the back for good retract
Haha shut up
