- How to make a DIY Retractable Hose Reel for your pressure washer set up! This one was originally designed for an air hose, but with some minor modifications this is the perfect solution for your pressure washer hose as well! The retractable feature allows you to not only unwind your hose fast and easily, but also to retract it and keep it perfect till you are ready to use it again.

Thanks Josh! You're always coming up with great ideas for detail enthusiasts. I always look forward to new videos from your channel.
Very nice! I’ve always been frustrated that there are so many hose reel options for air hose and nearly nine for pressure washers. I had no idea conversion was so easy. Thanks! I’m definitely making one of these as a Father’s Day gift for myself.
The amount of value and time saving you provide is unsurpassed. Thank you 🙏
Dude! Seriously these DIY videos are so awesome! Thanks!
This channel is on fire lately. very nicely done.
Josh, I've been a subscriber for a while now. Great and awesome content.
I believe that Videos and solutions like this are much needed.
I was just thinking about this! I have an old harbor freight reel that I'm going to convert! Thanks for this useful information! Happy to see more of these videos come out!
As a product designer and part time detailer, I’ve always thought about designing my own hose reel system. Fighting with the hose is the most annoying part of the detail for me. This is awesome, thanks Josh!
Best detailing content on TH-cam!
Great video josh thank you for getting this idea out to a larger audience than mine.
I seen your video and the merlin one is a little cheaper at $99 bucks
I saw yours first lol.
I seen yours first ❤
Perfect timing. I just picked up the active 2.0 and want a retractable hose setup. Thank you!
awesome!
This is super sweet! I might need to upgrade my standard reel in my van
Thanks!
Thanks for this and the Amazon Basics setup for us DIY home gamer detailers
As of Sept 2023, I think the fitting size has changed on the input and output fitting of the reel. They're now 3/8", so you need a 3/8" to M22 adapter, not 1/4". Just FYI for anyone trying to do this. Great video!
Thank you for that update!!
Dang it, I read this too late. Thanks, but now I have to return the 1/4". Hopefully, everything else will work once it arrives.
The reel in the video is a maxworks not a reelworks. Same manufacturer 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah… just discovered that this very minute 😢
Why my 3/8 is not fitting I order one is too big
EXACTLY what i been looking for.. Thanx
I would suggest a grommet for the hole that was drilled but otherwise great stuff!
I was thinking the same.
Great call. Where can you find a grommet that size? Link?
You can use a rubber u channel and cut to size
Just hooked up the new rig to my Comet 1700. Wonderful. Josh you might want to tell people that if you let the reel unwind you have to wind it back up. Also, I got mine for $94 on amazon. My hardware was a little different than yours but all is good. I fit my 70ft Comet hose. Works great. Thanks loads! 😊
Thanks for content Josh, purchase a majority of the items (mjjc foam cannon, uberflex hose, quick connects, adams mega foam) and I’ve been enjoying washing my vehicles again!
Same for me.
Thanks, Josh! Your picture is SOOOO helpful! I’ve seen a few different videos but wasn’t able to wrap my head around all the separate pieces, their sizes and where they all belonged. With your diagram, I’m ready to head to the store/Amazone to get what I need.
dude thanks for this video, i purchased a reel today from harbor freight that was marked down to 80$ and low and behold no one around my town sells metric fittings,lol. so off to amazon i went now i have to wait a week for the fittings to get here, but i did take the air hose off. so we wait. thanks so much
Another great video! Thanks dude!
Hello Josh, the link to the Amazon Basics Hose Reel Video isn't working. Can you please update the link?
pretty sure he took the video off, idk why but most air hose reels are limited to like 100psi, he probably found out after or it broke on him so he took the video down idk 🤷
Great video josh thanks
Uber Cool Josh! Great stuff as always.
Glad you enjoyed!
Bada$$ brotha!! Appreciate your dedication abd sharing the knowledge!!
Thank you! Happy to do it
Great idea, I just wish I had room in my garage to leave it setup all the time hooked to my pressure washer, thanks Josh 👍😁
Can you set it up on a wheeled cart and mount everything up on it and then move IT around?
Pretty nice idea, thanks for sharing
Damn, I need that retractable in my life now! You got me spending money son!
I’m a lawn nerd that’s getting into detailing. They both scratch my OCD tendencies. Anyway, one of the garden hoses I have is a retractable model from Hoselink. The convenience is a game changer. I’m just about to dig into my pressure washer setup. This video has me second guessing the idea of a Cox reel. Great stuff Josh. Your videos got me into this hobby. Keep it up bro.
The cost of a cox reel is as ridickulous as their name. I haven’t tried one mainly for that reason. I can tell you the all red retractable Merlin hose reel from HF is awesome to convert. I’d suggest watching Stay Slicks vid on that. Mines been working great for months now using a 50ft hose from Ridge Washer. No cutting or bending necessary to get the m22 connect thru the side of reel. I would suggest pulling hose out and reeling it back in with PW off and no pressure in line.
Funny you should mention this. I detail and volunteer mowing at church because of this... the church has about 11 acres and provide a JD zero turn 72" that golf courses use. One section of the yard is no less than three acres unobstructed and to put straight lines in that with that mower is quite soothing! :)
Thnx. Not everyone needs an OG spec. hose reel.
Fair warning I have the same exact setup and every 4 to 6 months I will have to basically take the whole swivel end apart and replace all of the O-rings because of the constant spinning plus the added pressure of the water forces the O-rings outward and they tend to get chopped up everytime you unwind and wind the hose back up. I get the replacement O-rings from Lowe's and their pressure washer Department the O-ring is actually the same size as some of the O-rings that are in the actual hose. Oh and you're going to want to replace the retaining clip as soon as you replace that retaining clip it will be useless because it'll be bent out of shape you can find those also at Lowe's
thank you!
U Da Man! Love your Content! Mahalo!
Thanks so much!
Thanks again! 🙏
My pleasure!
Great video! I will weigh my options between the two or by both for my situation. It would be nice to have the retractable feature for the garden hose and the pressure washer hose. Both of mine are 100 ft. Doesn't look like those will hold that much.
I should’ve just bought a coxreel..waisted time and money..trash! Thanks anyway though you’re still the man…lesson learned for me 🥳
Thanks for the idea, I’m going to try it with the air hose reel from harbor freight. It’s $90!
Lol I said your comments you could do this in your last reel video. Glad you did it
Yea i bought a few hose reels and just had them ready to go!!
I did this mod with a Merlin retractable hose reel from harbor freight and it’s perfect, however I don’t recommend the idea of drilling a hole, simply bending the inside of the original hose exit port is sufficient and cleaner. Also, you can find the m22 adapters for the reel at Home Depot in the power washer section, however sometimes they are hard to come by.
I’m experiencing leakage where the swivel part is using mine did you have this or do something to prevent it from leaking?
Another great IDEA for your average DIY guy!
definitely would of never thought about things like that absolutely great stuff!
do have a question though I’m a subscriber and watch all the time in your opinion the greenworks 2300 be good for average joe to use for cleaning car and around the house!
-cause I’ve went back and watched and other psi washers you ve did numbers on!
Nice video I just want to add and not sure if anyone has already commented on the fact that you don’t need to drill a new hole hole; at least on my reel I only had to grind the top of the existing hole 1/16th of an inch for the m22 male to fit. I used a flexible 50 foot hose.
Is there a hose reel that swivels that I could use? Would love to mount on the garage wall and then fold / swivel toward the wall for out of the way solution. Great videos
Hey Josh the Amazon Basics video is unavailable, and I was wondering if it would be up soon
I just got the ReelWorks reel and it came with 3/8 fittings so the 1/4 adapters weren't needed, a simple 3/8 threaded male to 3/8 quick connect was all that was required. Not sure why the swivel changed, but is better not having to use all the adapters to make it work.
Same the listed fitting is 1/4 mm2 but needs to be 3/8 🤦♂️
He pointed that out.
I thought the same thing initially until rewatched it ( 1:26 )
I went with a HF reel about 2 years ago and have a 2 one now. Both are set up with an adapter (1/4M to 3/8M adapter).
I'd like to get a retractable for my Husqvarna PW-2000.
I use the Uberflex hose and for now I have to wrap it around the handle.
recommendation for a free standing, not wall mount, pressure washer reel that won't break the bank. Thanks, love the videos.
You can also just bend the port a little to open the port big enough to insert the hose into the connection point and the stopper on the hose you can put it over the black plastic on the Uber flex hose it fits just fine and won’t move anymore
Love to get any ideas you have for reducing pressure washer noise for people who want to keep quiet for on site clients or homeowners with attached garages and that to do early morning work.
Hey Josh, I tried using the Amazon basic manual hose reel method but the power washer I hooked it up to was industrial strength and it just didn’t hold up and busted in every way possible not sure if I messed up connecting everything or it may just be compatible with lower pressure washer system , otherwise love the content !! Just ordered a Uber flex hose since watching your videos
Hey Josh
The budget reel hose video is private, I need to watch that video please 🙏
Your channel is second to none, thank you so much sir..👍
Love your channel, I just invested in the amazon reel setup based off of your last video. That said, I do have some concerns using air hose reels that are not rated for the pressure setup, especially the retractable as there is more add on parts not originally designed to do what it is now doing. Stay Slick did this same thing with a HF retractable and eventually it blew out after extensive use and in heat. So I would recommend checking his latest videos as well before investing into one of these. Personally. but love your work, you are why I decided to start detailing
Just watched Slick's videos on the reel conversion and the update video and he notes that somebody he knows ran the reel with a GAS pressure washer and that one blew the o-ring seals out due to the significantly higher line pressure generated by gas powered pressure washers. He also notes that he is using the reel with an ELECTRIC pressure washer and it's fine due to the significantly lower line pressure. The only failure points would be the hose or the o-rings when the line pressure exceeds the design parameter of the hose and the o-rings. Brass and steel fittings have an incredibly high burst pressure failure point. The devil is in the details, and no pun is intended.
@@strykerentllc
Slick’s conversion has 3 videos. The original, the follow up, and the failure and how to bypass (these are not the names of the videos). The last one was posted just a few days or maybe a week ago. That said, he did run it for about a year before he had problems. I imagine he could have just replaced the o-rings, but he chose to bypass the hose swivel entirely. YMMV
@@strykerentllc he runs a Ryobi and it failed after 3 or 4 months. not being negative, I just feel it should be addressed in the video as it could POTENTIALLY do major damage if you choose to keep running it and not bypass w quick connects. it isn't a fix all, is what im saying
great ideai..!!!you think i can fit 100ft hose on the one in your video?
You can buy a grommet, some door edge molding, or even just slit open a small piece of rubber hose (like fuel line or windshield washer fluid hose) to make a protective edge.
works great if your system is gravity fed. if you use a pump it will blow out the seal in the swivel connector.
Hey Josh I like the commercial grade hoses since I do this everyday those hoses never last for me I’m sure it will still work what’s your thoughts?
Hi josh, can you tell me how to move the guide arm up and down and what tools sre needed?
Can you make an update on how it holds up in the long run I’ve seen a few videos on DIY hose reel set ups and seems a lot of them tend to go out and bust in short amount of time .
Thanks for the idea. If I am using a gas powered machine, will that reel take that bug pressure like 3300 3400psi?
Hey Josh, nice video! I just wanted to ask, what part do I pop out. It was mentioned at 5:52
That's pretty kool . Now if you could figure out a way to install a 50ft centec vac hose to it ! I bought the hose but couldn't get myself to pay 4 to 5 hundred for the setup .
@imjoshv hey what happened to Amazon basic reel video that you made for the pressure washer?
Josh
Will you do a revisit video on air dryers. I watch the review of the sgcb blower. Do you still recommend that as the best or is a air compressor set to low pressure work just as good I have a 60gal air compressor. My whole car wash setup I bought because of your recommendation and some stuff from your online store. I tried emailing you and got no response so thought I would try here. Thanks for what you do.
Love your channel
Thank you!
What fittings do I need for the Amazon basics could not view video marked as private thanks
is there a utility car you recommend to house a pressure washer, reel, hoses and deionizer?
Hey Josh. Any setup for a IBC 275gal tote with 2in spout setup? I would obviously want it setupt to the pressure washer then a spout for clean water for filling extractor/buckets. I currently have a Husqvarna 3200psi gas pressure washer from Costco but not sure if it has a pump built in for it to be gravity fed. Thank you
Would this setup effect gpm? Lets say on the Ryobi 1800 psi model.
Could I connect this hose on the inlet as swell ? Or does it have to be a bigger size ?
Can this accommodate a 50’ x 5/8” diameter flexzilla garden hose? Is it safe to be mounted outside?
Does this only work with electric pressure or can it handle gas pressure washer I have a dewalt 3400psi
If you can adjust the arm can't you adjust the retract location and/or keep the hose from going all the way out by fastening the hose retainer in a location that will prevent the reel from extending all the way out?
If mounted on the wall, how far does it stick out from the wall? Thanks.
Just a heads up the Amazon Basics reel video doesn't seem to be available anymore? Says it's set to private. Not sure if intentionally taken down or in error?
yup set to private
@imjoshv what happened to the Amazon Basics manual hose reel video? I bought the parts from that video and came back looking for the instructions and the video is private now.
Good morning Josh! Why when click on then basic amazon hose reel video link it says it’s private video!?
I have a Karcher k7 compact pressure
I need this but idk where i would put it in my garage lol. I really need this and a air hose one too.
I really need another garage just to set stuff up in so i can have more room haha
Took me awhile but I finally got my setup complete about 20 min ago. I'll test it tomorrow and see just how well it works.
I caught a Merlin air hose reel on sale this past weekend at harbor freight so I picked 2 of them up.
The merlin is nice and the air hose had a spring around the air hose where it goes inbetween the gap for the exterior connection.
I took that spring and wound it around the pressure washer hose to give it a little more protection. It also had 2 cable holds to hold the hose in place. Instead of drilling a hole I was able to bend the gap just enough for the head of the pressure washer hose to fit and then bent it back in place. It worked out great!
Everything else was super easy to connect.
The only problem I had was mounting due it only being me but I got it all up and in place.
Thank you for this!
Might be a silly question but does the hoes all reeled up effect the pressure of the machine. I got 50m don't really wanna unreal the whole thing to get the best results
I’m wanting to put a 90 NPT connection on the inlet to the hose reel, what is the thread size?
Can these work with any air hose reel
I'm currently in the market for a pressure washer with retractable hose reel and came across two of your videos: this one and the Grandfalls G20 (of which is unavailable where I am in Australia). Given the price of making your own retractable hose reel is close to the G20, which option would you consider a better one? Cheers
Anything like this that helps with organization, flow, and efficiency bring it on! IF you want to do a whole shop organization video you're welcome to come to Illinois and we can do mine! :)
haha. Ill be doing one soon setting up the garage at my new place
What size of the pressure washer hose and air hose that you recommend? 1/4” or 3/8”.

Your amazon basics reel video is private wanted to watch it
Same. Was curious about that one too.
Just scrolled down the comments and see that he took it down due to people reporting issues that it did not withstand the pressure. Not certain what the specifics are around those reports. But definitely would only try this with a lower psi setup.
Why did my reel come with 3/8 not 1/4 like you said?? Your link might be wrong so maybe update it because I had to buy extra parts.
how do you get the plug off to connect the water source to?
My reel is leaking at the factory connection not the one you suggested to add any idea how to fix this
If you cut the plastic off the metal m22 fitting, you can run it through the orignal hole.
What if I have a different brand of hose? Would it still work?
If you have a Harbor freight they have this style of reel for $70 on sale right now
can i just skip the whole side adapter thing and run the hose out the side of the reel directly into the pressure washer? I’m thinking of mounting my pressure washer right above my reel on the wall so I might just run it straight into the pressure washer instead of a leader hose
hey man do you think 50' is long enough for most pressure washing jobs?
8:15 I would wrap a piece of red or yellow electrical tape about 5 feet from the end of the hose to warn you so you can still retract the hose without having to manually do it on the reel itself.
Why did all of a sudden your previous video on this went private. The link to the video is in your bio but doesn't have access.
Been trying to fund this video also and it's not working.
Is this conversation safe on all air hose reels ?
Was the Amazon Basics hose reel video taken down? I can't find it and link does not work.
The linked retractable reel on Amazon doesn’t use 1/4” to m22 adapters. They use 3/8” to m22
Do you have a link for where to buy your 50 gallon tank from?
I just made the cheap one and now you hit me with this..😅
Haha I know…. Both are great options!
I wonder, do you think you could trim the plastic off of the m22 hose end to allow it to go through the factory hole? Then use channel locks or vice grips to tighten it to the adapter and swivel?
No because the plastic houses the threads themselves
