What are Retractable Air Hoses?

Before we dig into the process and steps for how to store air hoses, you can always invest in a retractable air hose for easy cleanup and organization. Retractable air hoses come with a reel that automatically winds up the air hose using an internal recoil spring. The more the hose is pulled out, the more tension there is built-up on the recoil spring. This makes putting away air hoses that much easier.

How to Store Air Hoses Properly

Now say you already have a few air hoses that you don’t want to get rid of yet, but they do need to be properly stored away to prevent any issues. Here are a few options for you:

Whatever you do, let the air hose wrap itself and follow it’s lead instead of manipulating it to twist and coil a certain way. Forcing the host can create cracks in the rubber over time. Once it’s coiled up, you can just leave it on the floor in a designated area away from where foot traffic might lead.
