[Dry Clean]

The service of window cleaning is only available to us because people cant be bothered to clean their own windows or they are too busy to do so. Which creates a market that we supply a service to. From this forum alone, we know that our prices can fluctuate and we convince ourselves its due to our professionalism or equipment or this cost or that cost. When truth of the matter is, it depends how much money we want to make and how much people are prepared to pay for our service. End off!!

Its the same principles when it comes to this topic. Make your own electric reel or spend money and let someone else do it for you
Myself, i wont pay for something i can do myself or prepared to do myself. If you wish to pay what i believe to be expensive to simply push a button and wind your hose in for you, then obviously go ahead. Convince yourselfs that its a wise investment and take delight in the built in chain guard as well. Its your choice and freedom to do so. As it is others to save themselves funds and create their own take on a modified hose reel.
Its our clients choice to pay our fees or simply do it themselves but we dont criticise their choice or look to find fault. Yet some feel the need to do so, i can only conclude that it says alot about the person doing so........

There's no need for all that blaa, my point is your doing alright so instead of harping on about it will never happen unless you do
this or do that or stupid or whatever why not spend a few quid more and ensure it wont happen.
Nothing wrong with DIY to save a few quid but at least do the job right, finish it and cover the chain.

Theres no need for a chain guard if you are a solo operator, obv if you employ its a diff story.

My reel has the chain on the right, the on switch is to the left which i operate with my left hand, my right hand guides the hose on. How on earth is any part of my body going into the chain?

Not only that but the 12v system doesnt have the torque, i can stop the reel with my hand fairly easy.
Now i know it is possible i could put my hand into the chain cogs but its also possible i could trap my finger in the door or fall out of bed on a morning. Look at how many use ladders everyday, much higher risk of serious injury than a reel without a chain guard, especially since your hand should not be in the chain and if it is your other hand should not be switching it on at the same time!

Just because hes doing alright doesnt mean he needs a chain guard any more than he needs a waterworks reel or a ferrari, if you can afford it AND you want it AND its beneficial fine. but it none of those apply its still a waste of money no matter how much money you  have

I haven't used your 12volts system so if it doesn't have the power to damage fingers then that's fair enough, if it does
have the power then its only common sense to cover it up.
People use ladders because as with your unprotected chain they think they are never going to get injured using them,
maybe they wont but isn't it better to remove the risk.
