I use one all the time and have them to be excellent, just wish they had a longer hose.

There is one tip, when you rewind the hose, run the hose though a cloth to clean the hose as it being rewound, if not it can jam at times.

Cheers for the tip williamx,i did notice that as i was winding in the hose there was a few bits gathering where the hose goes into the rollers,bests take some extra cloths tomorrow then,Gaz.

Also if it does jam then what I do is unwind some of the hose and wind it back in a fast as I can, this normally helps.

I wents nuts last week and lost my temper with a hose reel and kicked it down the road, the road being a busy high street in the middle of Brighton, and then jumped up and down on it, kicked it around a bit, and then gave a dustcart driver a fiver to drive over it provided I threw the bits in the back.

Needless to say I got a small crowd watching me but I am going breserk with hose reels. In 4 weeks I lost it with 3 of them. All from B & Q and they cost in total £105. Why is winding up a hose so complex when you want to do it quickly?

Monday .... we spent £200 pound on a stainless steel open hose reel that can take 100 metres.

What a difference. It will last years and years and years. Money well spent if you ask me.

Cheers
