COXREELS® Safety Series reels featuring the patented EZ-Coil Safety Rewind System, engineered and developed exclusively by COXREELS, are the only choice for safe spring driven hose, cord, and cable reel operation in the workplace. EZ-Coil works uni-directionally without any increase to the amount of resistance when pulling out the hose, cord, or cable. But, when engaged upon recoil, it controls the aggressive spring motor energy resulting in a reel that retracts at a safe and steady pace!
