Anyone here using Air.....Oxy/Acetylene Lines that are on a spring loaded reel?
I am wondering how well they hold up.........any failures on the rewind springs???
General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.

Never used them for air or gas, but I have used them for power cords and they've held up fine over many years. Don't get the cheapest one you can find and don't let the stoppers slam back into the unit and you should be fine.

Hello, Yes I have owned and used my Weldreel Mod.OA-A Made by United Specialties Inc. EL. Dorado, Arkansas for over 30 years in every one of my service trucks and it has worked flawlessly. It holds about 50 ft. of 3/8" hose and I added an extra 15' of 1/4' whip line. I bought it used for $25 and know that they cost over $400 at one time. If you can find this model used, you won't be disappointed. Ed K.
