Key Facts — Yato YT-24244 Air Hose Reel
- Brand: Yato
- Model: YT-24244
- Type: Automatic retractable air hose reel
- Hose length: 20 m
- Hose diameter: 8 mm
- Working pressure: 2 MPa (20 bar)
- Quick coupler: 1/4"
The Yato YT-24244 provides 20 metres of compressed air hose that pulls out to the work area and retracts on its own when released. The hose stays protected inside a housing instead of lying on the workshop floor, where it otherwise gets driven over, stood on and worn against concrete and edges.
The hose is 8 mm in diameter and rated at 2 MPa, or 20 bar working pressure, giving a wide margin over what a standard workshop compressor delivers. It is flexible and resistant to high and low temperatures, tensile stress and aggressive chemicals such as oil and solvents. Both ends are crimped with standard nipples, and tools connect via a 1/4" quick coupler.
The reel mounts on a wall, floor or workbench, with anchor bolts included. The hose therefore always starts from the same point and can be drawn wherever it is needed within a 20 metre radius.
Key benefits of an automatic hose reel from Yato
Order and longer hose life. A loose air hose left on the floor after every job soon becomes worn, kinked or crushed under a jack. With automatic retraction the hose disappears into the housing once the task is done, removing the trip hazard and the chore of coiling 20 metres by hand. The housing also shields the hose from UV and dirt between uses.
Applications for the hose reel
The reel belongs in the vehicle workshop, where compressed air drives impact wrenches, tyre inflators and blow guns across several bays, in production facilities using pneumatic hand tools, and in the home garage for tyre inflation, cleaning and spraying. With 20 metres of hose, one centrally mounted reel often covers an entire garage or several workstations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will the Yato YT-24244 hose reel fit my air tools?
Yes, if the tools use a 1/4" quick coupler, which is the most common size on workshop tools. The hose is rated to 20 bar, comfortably covering the 6–10 bar at which impact wrenches, blow guns and tyre inflators normally run. Tools on a different coupling standard need an adaptor. With very high air consumption tools, 20 m of 8 mm hose gives some pressure drop compared with a short hose — pull out only the length required.
How is the Yato YT-24244 hose reel mounted?
Using the supplied anchor bolts on a wall, floor or workbench. Position the reel so 20 metres of hose reaches the work areas where air is used, and so the hose can retract in a straight line without being dragged round corners or over sharp edges. The fixing must absorb the pull as the hose extends and retracts, so mount into solid structure rather than thin board.
What separates the Yato YT-24244 from a loose air hose or manual reel?
It retracts by itself. A loose hose ends up lying on the floor and wearing out, and a manual reel means winding in 20 metres by hand after every use — a step that in practice often gets skipped. The YT-24244 pulls the hose back into a protective housing when released, keeping the floor clear and protecting the hose from crushing, dirt and UV between uses.
