Hose And Cord Reels Swing Out Through Shop Wall

Hose And Cord Reels Swing Out Through Shop Wall FARM SHOP Miscellaneous 25-2-42 When Arvin De Cook needs an air hose or extension cord outside his shop, he simply opens a small door in his shop wall. No need to go inside the shop. The air hose and extension cord reels swing out through the opening. "It's handy to use and saves a lot of steps," says De Cook. "The hose and extension cord are always within easy reach, whether I'm working inside or outside the shop." De Cook installed the system when he built his shop. He framed in a 22 1/2 by 30-in. opening in the shop building's front wall and attached a steel door to it which attaches to a bracket that automatically swings the reels outside when the door is opened and back inside when the door is closed. A small gas shock that's bolted to the door holds the door open and also keeps it shut. "It makes simple jobs such as pumping up a flat tire or cleaning a clogged radiator much faster and stress-free," says De Cook. "With this setup I need only one hose and cord for use both inside and outside the shop." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Arvin De Cook, 9658 Hwy. F62 E., Sully, Iowa 50251 (ph 641 594-3438).
