Hi Susan,

Which reel do you have and does it take 1” transfer hose?

I’ve been looking for one, but they all seem to be too small, hoselock and karcher size etc.

Waterworks electric reel lower back ache gone right shoulder ache gone and I mean gone within days,you can't put a price on that so imo 5-600 odd quid is well spent.

Electric reels for van are great. Mines a DIY one and cost a couple of hours work and £50 to build it.

Making your own is great but buying a purpose made 1 that you can use within minutes of taking it or the box is better,also it looks professional and is designed for our job. I also will never go back to manual  reeling in I'm gonna get another soon as a spare it's in the top 1-3 things I've ever purchased for work.

I totally agree with you.
I'm quite fit and active, but my electric reel is fab. Saves me some energy in the day. 
Mine is homemade thanks to some guys here on the forum (fieldsy and co of memory serves me right).
If it broke, I would now buy one without a seconds thought for its ease of use through the day.
You young fellas can keep on with the manly reeling in though   :D ;D

Also it makes no difference how young you are when your reeling in manually all day long it doesn't take to long for you to get RSI,electric reels are the future just like hot once was nearly all suppliers are now starting to produce them the demand is there.

My shoulder pain as almost gone since upgrading to a power hd reel so totally agree.
