  • Super annoyed that your air hose has stopped retracting? Here's how to fix it! This video will show you how to fix an air hose that has stopped retracting. My air line hose reels always get loose and stop retracting. Rather than throw them away, I discovered a way to fix the spring that stretched over time and makes the reel work like new again. It's super easy and doesn't require any fancy tools. Perfect DIY project. Visit my webpage at www.bdpgarage.com

      Not hard at all. Works with retractable power cords too.

    Great video, I ended up doing the same thing and cutting off 8ft and did a new hose end on it.

    Ooo, I may have a go at my reel now. Though have a hole in the hose, so may swap it out for new anyway. I may have a go at fixing the rewind, just for shits and giggles though. Thanks.

      Would probably work the same way for swapping out a new hose on the old reel.

      @@bdpgarage A good point. I will take a look at what I would need for a new hose as I take things apart. Maybe a better quality (more flexible) hose.

    Do you think this might be the same thing for a garden water hose?

      I’d bet its the same mechanism but I havent tried it.

    So I have a zillareel 50' extension cord reel I got today at an estate sale for $10. The problem it has is , when you pull it out, it won't lock on the ratchet mechanism at the given points. So if you pull it half way out, it doesn't stay out. It just wants to retact all the way back in. Have any suggestions for that? By the way, nice Blazer.

      I’d open it up and see if the spring coil came loose. It’s been a while since I opened mine up.

      @@bdpgarage I did take the side cover off ( where the feed cord goes into the box, not the case half). Found a tension spring end had broken off. Rebent the spring just to see if that would have any affect. I reattached it to the mechanism, and tried pulling it out, and the catch works now. Put the side cover back on, and retried it. Still working. Thanks for your suggestion.

      Really? Haven’t seen that yet, but hoping it doesn’t.
