I like it I'm literally in the process of building my trailer right now. I've done the rack for the top for the steel. Now I'm in the process of building the platform for my welder my compressor and my reels. What did you use to stop the reels from spinning I see that you used a pin
I actually made some heavy dudty covers for my reels to protect the hoses and my leads from the weather, thay work out awesome. I actually mentioned to someone that lives up in Utah in the weather of snow cuz he lives off grid I told him that night underneath the cover that he made for his hose put electric blanket wrapped around the hoses then put the cover on and actually keeps the hoses from freezing up.
Ya one day I'll make some more and record it all I just haven't had the time to do any videos I've been super busy with work, it will be soon and I'll do a video on them I'm going to make new one, thanks for the interest in the video.
very nice, thanks! Is it ok to weld , having the leads coiled into the reels? Doesn't it create some sort of magnetic field or creates a dangerous situation?
Oh yeah I ran 50 feet of 4.0 on them on my buddies sa 400 pipeline welder. I can stand on them the way I made them supper strong. The round solid stock going through the reels is 1 1/4 pure Steel.
I'm running 1.0 wire and only running 70 feet on the reels. But I can run more if need to. You can run on these reels with 1.0 wire about 150 feet or more. holds a lot..
I bought a double lead reel set-up and installed it in a toolbox on my truck after having had 2sets of leads stolen, I was p.o.and not thinking about building one. I like what you came up with!! Pretty dang slick set-up!! Also subscribed
I'm really sorry I didn't videotape on detailing how to make the welding real I should have recorded everything that I did. The C Channel all I did is laid it down I had some 1 inch round stock that I measured and cut laid it on top of the back of the C Channel put a level on it and then welded the round stock that holds both reels on the back of the C Channel then I welded the c Channel to a 5" inch flat stock plate of metal. drilled 4 holes and bolted on my truck. The pull pins I had to measure and cut down to the right length I had to drill holes in the C Channel and on the inside of the c Channel I welded these little square tube metal that's what stops the pull pin with the ring on it. on the inside where the welding real is there is a washer. spring and a lock nut that fits on the pull pins to keep that spring action to pull back in the real to stop it. I hope this helps. If I make a other one I will record it all how I mad it.
GW thanks for taking the time just sharing vid of the finished product. Question: where do i buy the wheels, spinner handles etc or did you fab those too? A rough pencil sketch diagram would help my pea brain understand what goes where but ill get there:)

Nice job
I would really be interested in showing how you made that ree.
Can you show how you connect hoses to the bottle, thanks
Hell yeah cuz!
How they holding up?
They're still holding up strong I've had no problem with them, my son's now use them on there service truck,
Simple I like it
We have a little larger ones here in Canada, too tight a wrap makes for problems in the winter . -40 is the reason

Thats "reely" cool.
Reely good comment 👌
NICE job, this is what I need to do.!! Thanks😃😃😃
NICE PROJECT, THANKD FOR SHARE
stop sniffling and blow your nose....
Pretty cool stuff mate. I don't know how you guys with fabricated checquer-plate truckbeds avoid chipping all that paint off and getting rust.
I would honestly love a better view of the parts involved in making the locking pin. That setup is genius.
I'll make a video of the parts soon to show what I used and how I set it up, it work very well, thank you.
@@GW-po5fjI would appreciate that too, Great budget build!!!
God bless you for posting this, been looking for a better route then spending 350$ just on the reels!
let me know how you made it
How many fit do you have one each one
100 feet on each reel
You should make a video of making a set of these! Put alumareel out of business!

About how much lead does it fit you?
Good job bro 👍👍
very nice, thanks! Is it ok to weld , having the leads coiled into the reels? Doesn't it create some sort of magnetic field or creates a dangerous situation?
Yea it can ground out to the truck and mess your rig truck battery/batteries
Think those reels will hold up 2/0 leads pretty good?

Hey Vince, How many feet of what size leads are you running on these bud? Thanks in advance.
I'm running 1.0 wire and only running 70 feet on the reels. But I can run more if need to. You can run on these reels with 1.0 wire about 150 feet or more. holds a lot..
Thanks again bud Great vid, And info!
Good idea absolutely better then taking it in/out tool box tangled
