Default Retractable air line reel

I have a 50lt compressor from Lidl that will see light use and am thinking on buying a retractable air line reel probably 3/8s. Good few types and brands on eBay. Any recommendations? Looking for 10 or 25 meters. Cheers

Make sure you get the right connections, lot of 50l type compressor's use Euro Compressor Air Line Couplers

I bought my retractable air line from Aldi obviously it’s only suitable for diy use but I’ve had it 7-8 years and can’t fault it for Ł40 ish.

cheers - I have one too. The hose diameter looks tiny, it must be restrictive?
