I know the retracta reel is better for workshops but I'm on an apprentice wage/budget. Yeah I have heaps of expensive tools in my picture but they were purchased when I was doing bulk hours and pulling in much more coin.

Yeah...I hear yah...after posting this I realised that its been 18 years since I set it up...lol...time flys...

The fella I worked for back then just had 30m hose made up as extensions off the reel...Might be worth it if you come across some spare coin.

I have gone battery/gas since but still run the air gun on the hard woods and LVLs or when pushing 4inch frame nails...more punch for ya buck...
