Airbrush Hose Retractable Spool

Hello,

I’m gathering interest for a project I’ve been working on. Its in the final stages currently of a fully developed helpful (hopefully) tool to keep your desk clear of airbrush hoses and stop and tangling as well.
Its an airbrush spool/reel/thing, whatever you want to call it. Imagine those garden hose things that mount to your wall outside except for your airbrush! It can mount under your desk, on top, somewhere sideways, however you like.

I’m keen to hear your thoughts on this and if anyone would be potentially interested? I’ve been working on it for a little while and finally have it close to being where I want so I’m keen to share it!

P.s. I have deliberately not attached any photos just yet out of fear of someone stealing it.

I only use one airbrush,and those aren’t problems for me,but it should interest the guys who use multiple airbrushes

I definitely could use something like that. I knock stuff over with the hoses or they get in the way. I tend to pull them out of the way towards the floor but something that rolls up but doesn’t yank on the line and ultimately the gun when you are using it…

That’s an interesting idea!

Yeah! So after discussing some design features in another forum, I’ve come up with a way that will let it lock at a distance when you pull it out and then unlock when you tug it again so it doesnt pull back on you while you work.

If you’re struggling to picture what it may look like. This doesnt reveal anything special so here you go.

Roughly 10cmx10cm (~4inx~4in) and you would just attach your compressor to the inlet on the side, probably via a short hose that would be provided, also considering making compressor mounts at some point. The spool itself can be mounted to any surface via screws or tape, depending on your needs and then its good to go.

Very rough price estimate right now would be about $75 AUD ($53.75 USD), however I suspect that will be less.
