Brilliant.  I really like them; but I've nothing to compare it too.  But it's a doddle to use, very easy, so I guess that's good.

And I will stick a pic up of that small modification that someone here showed me how to do.  Promise!  It stops your hose from over running the reel and jamming between the side of the drum and it works a treat.

I think this is what you're looking for

I see you've got the claber reels.  I find with mine that because they have a smooth action, when unreeling they can overrun and  the microbore has a tendency to jump off the reel and get trapped down the side of the handle.
I have a small length of foam pipe insulation (2.5" the wide version) covered in gaffer tape on each side, which stops this and acts as a damper for the overrun.  Have to replace the foam every couple of months.

cant see pic, i get what you mean, still like to see pic, today i thought i would put mine together what a doodle i got 100m of 6mm hose and i had a spare bit of 6mm hose didn't measure it but would guess 15m to 25m, i will measure it tomorrow, so i added the small section first then added the 100m to it, guess what it all fitted so they hold just over 100m,

Here's the pic, I think this is what Tosh was referring to.
