At Mate Designs, we’re big believers that the best gear doesn’t just work – it changes how you use your setup day to day. And that’s exactly what the Apex Designs USA range has done for us, especially their Compact Reel System. If we’re being honest, the Apex hose reel has made us use our compressor more than ever – and not just for pumping up tyres.   Small Footprint. Big Capability. The 10m Compact Reel System is the standout hero in our Apex Designs setup. It’s impressively small, mounts neatly, and doesn’t chew up precious tub or canopy space. But don’t let the compact size fool you – this thing punches well above its weight. With a full 10 metres of hose on tap, we can comfortably: Inflate all vehicle tyres Air up trailer and caravan tyres Reach awkward spots without dragging hoses everywhere It’s one of those products that just makes sense the moment you install it. A Compressor That Actually Gets Used Before the Apex Designs Compact Hose Reel, the compressor was mostly a “tyres only” tool. Now? It gets used constantly. The reel makes it quick and effortless to grab air whenever you need it, which means we’re using compressed air to: Blow sand out of the tub after beach runs Clear dirt and dust from gear before packing up Clean ourselves off on dirty job sites Blast sand off the kids after a big day at the beach Clean out vacuum cleaner filters and kids toys at home Less mess coming home means less cleanup later – and that’s a quiet win every four-wheel-driver can appreciate. Precision Where It Matters A good air system needs control, not guesswork. That’s where the Precision Pressure Gauge earns its place. It gives you accurate, repeatable readings when letting tyres down and inflating them back up. No dodgy dash gauges, no overthinking it – just confidence that every tyre is set exactly where you want it. Lightning-Fast Air Downs We round out our Apex Designs setup with the Rapid Connect Valve, and this thing is pure efficiency. It lets us air down tyres in around 20 seconds per tyre, which is ridiculously quick. When you’re dropping pressures on multiple vehicles or trailers, that speed adds up fast – less time fiddling, more time driving. Why We Rate Apex Designs USA The Apex Designs USA range isn’t about gimmicks. It’s about well-engineered, compact solutions that make your entire setup easier to live with. And the biggest takeaway for us? That hose reel has completely changed how often we use our compressor. It’s no longer just for tyre pressures – it’s become a go-to tool for cleaning, maintenance, and keeping the chaos under control before it follows us home. For us at Mate Designs, that’s what great gear should do: work hard, save time, and make life on and off the track cleaner, quicker, and simpler.
