What type of hose are you all using that is so hard to wind in and putting all this strain on your shoulders . Is it garden hose , mini bore or something similar . It takes me about 20 seconds very easy no strain to wind 120 metres of pole hose in .

Very well done 😁

Thank you .

Theres no strain, its just that we can do it in less than 5 seconds

no one any answers on the batteries

I had to take mine to bits. I'll try again when I get chance.

I had no end of problems with the chain jumping off.  I messed with the tension and the length, I tried truing the cog up nothing.

It did my head in so ripped it out

Have you tried a chain tensioner?
Look at this on eBay  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192095993098

I use 7ah alarm system batteries. £7 off eBay. Switch out after two days but never seem flat. Takes 2 hours to recharge them.

So let me get this right  you use one of those small 7 amp batteries for the reel and you get two days out of them

The reels really dont take that much power, your using them seconds at a time. 30 - 40 secs to pull in the whole reel, but how often do you use 100m? Ive got mine hooked up to van battery, which everything else is on. Never an issue.

Nice gonna sort one out .another question for the guys who have used the remotes similar to the one s on the  water works one how do you wire them up and also are you  guys using a fuse if so what amp fuse

[jk999]

??

[p1w1]

dont know about the remote, but the hd reel has a 30amp car type fuse.

Cheers buddy

ok i want one whos making them then

Sorted mine. It was a stiff link in the chain.

So much better than manual winding. Its a jot to finish a house and press the button...no more sweating like a pig winding a load of hose bit that keeps getting snagged.

Does anyone know if these motors from petrol scooters are in stock at its  base or do they come straight from china and also has anyone bought one recently if so has it come as it's described with the cog or small sprocket attached cheers  kev

Mine arrive the next day even though it said  48hr delivery. It came with the correct cog (as described by ebay) the eBay company I used was "petrolscooter" and they sell everything you need. The chain link extractor they sell is NOT very good though.

[trafficjamz]

Do you think this is possible to do with an old bomb proof Hannay reel?

[jk999]

The chain link splitters at petrol scooters that someone put a link up for is out of stock . Can anyone recommend a splitter for the chains cheers kev

I ordered this the other day as i got one from another supplier. Paid 15quid for it as it came with additional pieces but bent a piston on it when extracting a pivot and then it snapped.  So ordered above from same place where i bought my 6mm H25 chain.

I would have posted a pic of my finished result on the newish reel from purefreedom (bought 2yr back). It took some doing to dismantle and fit the cog but it will be well worth it. Ive secured the motor down and wired it all up with a on/off switch at side. Just have to wait on 2nd chain splitter now and hope no more mistakes and then i can post my finish result
