Thumbs up Hose Reel Recommendation

About 5 years ago I was given an Ames RealEasy Work Center...


So it's built pretty nice and I like that the hose winds back nicely. Early this year I noticed that it was leaking pretty bad from inside the real. Today I finally got around to taking it apart and found the defective part. The "Water System Assembly" is the plastic pipe that brings the water in from the side and gives it to the hose. There was a very small crack in it. Probably my bad since I left it out in the winter. I go on their website to see what's up. Turns out that they send out replacement parts for free.

So if you are in need of one of these things I recommend Ames.

I had the same experience with suncast.

We have a metal one that we bought from sams a couple years ago. It is made from really cheap metal and is almost rusted all the way through.

Our next one is going to be from www.reelcraft.com
