after a lot of thinking ive decided to get my self the power up hose reel.what clinched it is ive got some new ish compact work which involves a load of 6ft locked gates and a load of flat roofs so off come the ladders because you can only see half the windows and it takes nearley a full reel of hose . so no doubt ill be leting you all know ive got on . il be honest and fair with the out come. if its shyt ill be putting it on evil bay
