Eric Aune walks through one of his favorite shop upgrades: a heavy-duty Hannay reel hose system. Mounted to a plywood wall and fed by a three-quarter inch water line, the reel holds a 5/8-inch hose and features a powerful spring-return mechanism that retracts a full, pressurized hose with surprising speed. Priced in the $500–$600 range, it's a significant step up from big-box store options — Hana is the same manufacturer supplying hose reels for fire trucks. Paired with strategically placed trench drains under his parking spots, the setup makes routine floor cleaning fast and practical in a working shop environment.
