I have had a Coxreels in my garage for about 20 years. It has been flawless. I have a Rapidreel crank on the wall of my shop with100' of polyurethane 1/4" hose that I love. I'm not sure that you need 1/2" (of course I don't think you need 400+ HP either). You pay a huge premium for a high quality retracting unit which is probably a luxury for most of us. It's hard to get a lot of hose on them also. You'd be surprised how handy a 100' hose is,e.g. to reach a car out in the driveway. The 1/4" poly hose has a small OD so it fits on a lot of reels altho it might not take a hard pull on a retractible. This is one of those products I would avoid in plastic or from China. The rotating joint needs to be high quality.
