He does a better version now with a better quality reel it has pressure fitting on it,if you are hot you'll need that one I had one of the first ones and it didn't like the hot water but it was only down to the cheaper reel. Good bit of kit for the money although Gardiners do the reel I have in electric the coxreel if you want to spend upwards of 800 don't quote me on that though.
I would go with the power up HD reel. The Cox feel is awesome and it's coming on for being 2 years old and it's been faultless. I am trying out the power up HD through my roller setup ASAP. It's just time to go see him.
The Coxreel is quality mine hasn't ever leaked very very good pay less pay twice.
I reckon the perfect brush for you is about 180 g , but where to find one ? Rich
