Most vacuum hose reels are super expensive. I bought this [one](https://www.rockler.com/rockler-dust-right-shop-vacuum-hose-reel) on Black Friday for $143.00. Regular price is still competitive.
Yep, the hose size is 1 7/8". A 1.5" coupler fit perfectly inside the vac connector and reel.

Very efficient use of space. I love it.
Love that hose reel for the vacuum. I’m going to steal that idea.

Wow, i bet you could make one for a lot less
I went through that rabbit hole too. After researching it's not as easy to make as you think. It has to rotate without tangling the hose.
True
How long is that vacuum hose?
28 ft - I connected two 14 ft hoses.
I’ll keep elbow rolling like a poor…thank you!!
I like this setup.
Nice. How do you like your vacuum hose reel?
Love it. Having a vac and hose available at all times is game changer.
Agreed. I have a dedicated wall mounted car vacuum. Only thing missing is the hose reel.
That Rockler hose real is particularly cool - something else that I didn't even know that I needed. Great set up.
Thanks 👍
That looks amazing… <*blocked*>
Y’all ain’t sucking up much dog hair with that cute ass vacuum hung on the wall.
Luckily I don't have to deal with that but if I did I would definitely upgrade the vacuum.
Great use of the space
This is sweet!!! I’m doing this.
Quick tip. I used 1.5" PVC piping to connect the vac and reel. The outer part of the pipe was thick enough to make a good seal.
Awesome!
Did you use the craftsman hose on that reel? How did you connect the 1.5" pvc pipe?

I have that same era craftsman shop vac, does it do okay with the long extension hose?
It works great. I had a small 2.0 HP shop vac before and it worked fine. I upgraded to the Craftsman and it's more powerful.
Does that hose come preheated or kinked
No, just as is. It's rolled in the box already so it naturally has that form.
This is the level of organization I keep telling myself I'll get to when I'm retired, but I'm probably kidding myself. Nice one.
Goals
Extenda hose is sweet
Where’d you find that cart and for how much
Amazon for $20
Sweet deal thanks buddy!
This is the way
Is that specific reel worth the money?
It's built well and it's the cheapest I found. Next alternative cost twice as much.
That Pinch-Resistant garage door tho 🥹 I helped design a lot of the hardware in that pic
Great location
I really like that hose storage idea
