12v hose reels which one?
« on: February 16, 2016, 08:04:57 pm »
hi people
looking at upgrading an old reel to a 12v powered one.
i have seen the waterworks power up hd video and looks cool.
also seen the youtube video of another user on here using a cox reel.

anyone using anything different ( not drills bolted on please )

any help or suggestions welcomed ;)

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.

looks like the best way to go as yet,
other than cable tying an asylum seeker to the hose reel.

Would really be for employees m8 so can't justify £800 each,
Going to get the powerup hd I think,
Just trying to streamline our works a little , 2 more a day really stack up.

I've got a power up reel and wished I'd kept the pennies in my pocket. Cracking piece of kit but I can justify what I paid for the time I save.

It's got absolutely nothing todo with time saved/energy for me. As soon as I had confirmed rota cuff damage I bought an electric reel. Sod having that pain again. No pain in over a year. 

Extreme poles,elec reels and less than a 200g brush head = happy Damo.
