For my GrippaReel V1 https://www.grippatank.co.uk/grippareel-v1-fixed-revolving-handle-97mm-m10

£22.76 inc VAT and delivery. Flick that 🫤

Anyone know where I can pick one up that's not a rip off price?

You think that's a rip off? you could earn that in 20 minutes cleaning a house. How many years use would you get out of it and thousands of windows cleaned?  :P

It's the plastic that has worn out I think. It's rattling about when I reel in.

That's not the point. A bit of plastic and a length of 4" steel for nearly 23 quid. Give it a rest. Rip off Britain.

I think that’s a decent price

Steel has soared in price- it has to be made (min wage now £11 something

Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience

Why would you manually be reeling in a hose ?.  Unless someone's just starting out and setting up on a budget, then there's absolutely no reason at all for anyone to be manually reeling in a hose.

People must be off there heads manually doing it when there's a tool that does it for you.

One less thing to go wrong.

I have owned a Hannay van mounted manual reel for 19 years. The only part I have replaced is the swivel joint when it was 13 years old.

I find it easy to reel in (reel has proper bearings) and can easily stop if hose gets snagged or twisted.

It's not hard, plus I like to spend my money on things I actually like.

We tried electric reels. Waterworks ones. Plastic crap. Forever breaking and too slow. The lads we gave them to asked for them to be replaced with proper reels.

We only use Cox reels now.

Had my HD reel from waterworks  for at least 5 years now, no problem at all...and I guarantee it reels in quicker than a manual,  I wouldn't be without it sod manual reeling in !

Cox reels are very good quality. The waterworks new electric reels are just not up to the job. Like you say they are cheap,plastic crap,far too flimsy to be used commercially.

What's crazy is not using reinforced pole hose on your reel.

I use cheap Claber reels with 45m of pole hose and 55m of microbore.

Light and easy. Can carry 40m of pole hose in one hand around cars, bins and corners.

I worked with my son in law who is half my age and he is lugging microbore like a lot of you guys do.

Madness.

It's a game of three halves!

No thanks. Sounds a absolute nightmare carrying 40m of pole hose....
Microbore is the best.
