The Kromer 7222-01 is an air hose tool retractor for pneumatic tools weighing 4.4-11 lb - for example drills, small nutrunners or riveting tools - and works equally with any other air tool in that weight range. It carries the compressed air line and the tool on the same unit: retraction force increases as the cable is pulled out, so the tool comes to hand easily and then returns to its start position when released, taking the hose with it.

The 7222 adds an automatic ratchet lock: it sets a premature retraction stop so the tool parks at a chosen height - useful for repetitive assembly work. Keeping the air line inside the unit also keeps it off the floor and out of the way. The hose supplied is a 9 x 13 mm spiral; Kromer also builds this unit with an 11 x 16 mm spiral hose, so ask us if you need that version.
