Reelcraft 7850 OLP 1/2-Inch by 50-Feet Spring Driven Hose Reel for Air/Water Review

Reelcraft 7850 OLP 1/2 inch by 50-Feet Spring Driven Hose Reel for Air/WaterReelcraft makes the best hose reels I have ever used, they are well made and long lasting (I have two that I have used for 20 years).The 7850 OLP 1/2 inch is the most popular size and length for shop use.At a weight of 52 pounds you will need to fasten to a stud or backing.I prefer the ceiling instalation with 2x12 backing. Unreeling most of the hose makes it lighter to install, and then a tug on the hose and it reels itself up. Requires a two-person install, one to hold it and one to install the fasteners.Pre-drill pilot holes for large lag screws. I recommend using a Parker HF-251-6-FP (automatic) coupling on the end (for those using Industrial Interchange style quick disconnects).

Legacy 5/8-Inch-by-50-Foot Retractable Garden Hose Reel #L8346 Review

Legacy 5/8 inch-by-50-Foot Retractable Garden Hose Reel #L8346I had purchased a water powered retractable unit last year.
The problem was the water inlet was 3/8". Poor flow.
The Legacy inlet is full size. I now have one unit in front, 2 in back. So far no problems with the hose or retraction spring. Once the factory hose wears out, I think I will replace with a 5/8". Overall, I am very happy with the product and give it a full 5 stars.

Apex 9885-100 NeverKink Commercial Duty 4000 3/4-Inch-by-100-Foot Hose Review

Apex 9885-100 NeverKink Commercial Duty 4000 3/4 inch-by-100-Foot HoseI've owned (and discarded) many garden hoses over the last 40 years or so. All of them tended to develop permanent or temporary kinks that restricted flow or shut it off altogether. We bought our first NeverKink hose by Apex about 6 months ago off the sale table at Smith and Hawken (discounted, it was a reasonable price); it worked flawlessly. We went there a few months later and found another. Both were 5/8 inch diameter hose and only 25 feet. No kinks. So I splurged and bought the 3/4 inch Commercial from Amazon after researching the manufacturer's website and reviews, this time buying the 100 foot version.

The result: pure pleasure! On the rare occasion when there is a kink occasioned by heavy twisting, it's temporary and there is no sign of the kink once it has been unkinked, and no tendency to re-kink at that location on the hose.

The machined (not stamped) brass fittings at both ends of the hose are really heavy duty, strain-reinforced at the faucet end, built to last.

Don't know about cold weather (we don't have much in Southern California) but at about 45ºF. it is still quite flexible. I would heartily recommend this hose based on our extensive use of it.

Claber Aquapony Compact 50-Foot Garden Hose Cart #8884 Review

Claber Aquapony Compact 50-Foot Garden Hose Cart #8884This is my first time review for the purchases at Amazon.com.

Delivery was prompt as always with Amazon.com.

Even if it said "completely assembled", there's a few assemblies needed though very simple to follow from the instructions on the box (it doesn't have any separate manual with it).

Unlike some concerns about the faucet connection from the reviews for this company's other product (Claber AquaPass Garden Hose Cassette #8974), the connection was secure enough with standard faucet (US size 5/8 in).

I had a little bit concern with flimsiness of the plastic things but as far as now, no drippings from any parts were observed.

The size of the hose may feel small but if your use is just for a small lawn like mine (front yard at town home) and car wash, it's going to be no problem.

The total weight is so light that even with water full in hose, you need to use both hands to retract hose without tipping it.

The spray nozzle provided needs several trial and error to get the hang of it.
(clockwise twist gets you from 1. off 2. wide cone 3. narrow cone 4. straight,
anticlockwise for the other way)
Once it starts working, you will be happy with it (My kids loved it).

As a whole, I am satisfied with the purchase.

Thanks

Legacy L8305 3/8-Inch x 50 Retractable Air Hose Reel Review

Legacy L8305 3/8 inch x 50 Retractable Air Hose ReelI saw this type of reel used in automotive garages and used to say "one day I will get one, when I can afford it...." well, I finally find a very good quality retractable hose reel that I can afford. Do not let the plastic housing worry you, it is strong enough. I mounted mine in the rafters of my garage/workshop and it is a delight to use. It makes the workshop safer since there is no hose on the floor to trip over.
Be careful threading the center hub hose connector. Overall, a very good, practical and affordable unit. I recommend it for the typical DYIer. I am now considering one for the garden hose....

Claber AquaPass Garden Hose Cassette #8974 Review

Claber AquaPass Garden Hose Cassette #8974Good materials:

Poor assembly: (it flew into five pieces on first attempt to unreel and, even being better than average at mechanical skills, it took ten minutes of creative frustration to figure out how they went back together and tighten down the friction-fit pieces the way they should have been tightened at the factory (same for the end fittings). I'm still unsure of whether the slip washers are in the right position, but it seems to be holding together.

Lousy Fit: There are four fittings (snap fittings and threaded fittings) and all are either proprietary Clabor design (or, possibly, metric) so they fit no standard English threaded garden faucet or standard English nozzles, sprinkers, couplings etc. Even their snap-fittings are non-standard and don't allow purchase of supposed equivalent snap-fittings from your big-box garden supply. Even if they would fit, it comes with no standard threaded male termination to the business end of the hose (and the female end, being non-standard, fits nothing either), so your stuck going back to Clabor for everything you use (including hooking it up to any faucet in the first place) If it's metric, it might work in Europe.
As sending this proprietary rip-off back is more effort than its worth and material quality seems good, I'll retrofit all the end pieces with standard fittings for about an added $10 and a trip to the big box, but never buy Clabor unless you are redoing your whole home, garden and garage in Clabor products, love do your own hardware retro-fitting and/or own their stock.

There should be a warning on this product.

Suncast Hideaway Hose Reel with Tracker #PTK200D Review

Suncast Hideaway Hose Reel with Tracker #PTK200DWe bought this, since it was rated for 225' of hose storage. We have two 100' hoses for our front lawn so that we can water from one end of our home to the other, and the entire front yard.

It was not well assembled; it leaked and we had to disassemble the entire box to reseat the inlet connection where it joins to the reel.

It constantly breaks - the center shaft is too weak to support the weight of the hose if there is the least bit of residual water in it and it collapses, making it virtually impossible to unreel the hose without taking the entire product apart. It finally broke the locking tabs this weekend when we tried to unreel it.

It also tips over when you are trying to unreel the hose, and takes forever to wind the hose back up, due to a high gear ratio - each crank winds up a very small amount of hose.

If you have a smaller lawn, and only need 100' or so of hose, this would probably work well for you. But it is NOT capable of handling 200 - 225 feet of hose, as stated. It just doesn't hold up.The sad thing is, they could invest a few more cents in producing a quality product that is sturdier, and have a great product that people would be willing to pay more for.

QuickWinder RAP-200 Reel for Air Hose, Fiber Optic Cable or Electric Cord Review

QuickWinder RAP-200 Reel for Air Hose, Fiber Optic Cable or Electric Cord.I've purchased a dozen or so of these reels (in this and other sizes).They are extremely lightweight but very tough.It's nice to be able to carry just the weight of the cable around, rather than the cable plus all the steel weight of most good reels.The fact that they store well in corners and stack perfectly has been a huge benefit as well.
.
.On the down side, I've found cables over 1/2" in diameter become problematic to wind up, especially if they've been sitting on cold ground long enough to stiffen. Personally, I love these reels and so do my teams, but they won't use them for cables over a certain size.We use a bulky composite A/V cable that just won't work with these reels.
.
.With that said, if you are storing electrical, microphone, video, rf or even bulk exercise cable, I doubt there's a better manual cable reel out there than those the the QuickWinder company sells.Until Amazon carries the full line, you can go straight to quickwinder dot com to see all they offer.
.
.On a final note, my users (news gathering crews) tend to pick up a lot of dirt, crud and lawn clippings with their cables.Most reels are a huge hassle to clean.These buckets are great for cleaning.Just pull off the cable, pop the top off the bucket, spread out the pieces, hose them off, wipe down the cable and re-assemble.If you move very slowly, it might take a full 10 minutes to thoroughly clean a reel and cable.

Ames True Temper ReelEasy Assembled Hose Reel Cart #2385575 Review

Ames True Temper ReelEasy Assembled Hose Reel Cart #2385575I concur with the other reviewers...this really is junk.It leaked like CRAZY (as in water flowing all the way to my neighbor's driveway within the first 10 minutes) and no amount of tightening could stop it.You could never really use the "handy" reel-it-in feature, since the whole contraption is too flimsy to support its own weight.Then it broke one day, just from falling over while I was unreeling hose...the whole handle just broke right off.Other parts soon followed.

I tried to use it until the end of the season, but the leaking progressed to the point where I finally just put it out on the curb the night before trash day.Not surprisingly, nobody garbage-picked it...;-)

American Specialty RT50 Handi-Hose And Reel Review

American Specialty RT50 Handi-Hose And ReelNot what you want for daily use in your yard.Sun and abuse will weaken the fabric of the hose over time and create the pinleaks noted by other reviews.BUT it's great for occasional use, easy to handle and transport, very easy and space-saving to store.Perfect for campers/RV if you aren't a full-timer.I used it last year to weekly refill our garden pond during the winter - quick to drain & roll up before my hands or the hose froze, and could store in a small spot indoors by the back door. Hubby left it out to freeze a couple times, so by spring it was starting to leak. The ones in the camper are 3 yr old, used a lot (but not continuously), and working fine.

Suncast 100' Capacity Garden Hose Reel Hideaway with Hose Guide, Taupe #PHT100 Review

Suncast 100' Capacity Garden Hose Reel Hideaway with Hose Guide, Taupe #PHT100The plastic components pop apart when you try to reel in the hose, such that the handle simply spins around. When you manage to keep that from happening, often the mechanism that is supposed to guide the hose around the spool doesn't function properly, so the hose winds up in a single spot. Basically, if you're in the market for a product of this type, buy something else. Anything else.

Suncast 300' Capacity Steel-Core Garden Hose Reel Cart with Tray And Hose Guide #FWT300 Review

Suncast 300' Capacity Steel-Core Garden Hose Reel Cart with Tray And Hose Guide #FWT300My sister bought this one for me and I should have made her get her money back.If I knew she spent this much I would have insisted!I hate plastic hose carts of any type. Plastic may not rust but it does not hold up well in heavy use.The hose that hooks to the faucet is cheap and kinks up.The wheels are pneumatic, they dont hold air sometimes and worse, the axles are way too close together which makes it unstable to roll on uneven ground.The big tray is nice, I would want that on any hose reel, but on the bottom with the reel on top.The tray is helpfull for holding sprinklers and nozzles and gardening gear.This one could be used for potting plants since it is easy to clean, the tray has lots of holes to drain water. Since the hose is under the tray you have to bend down further to crank it and it is harder to handle the hose because the reel is so enclosed by the unit.

Legacy L8335 1/2-Inch x 50 Retractable Air or Water Hose Reel Review

Legacy L8335 1/2 inch x 50 Retractable Air or Water Hose ReelMy wife and I are avid gardeners and even though we have a drip irrigation system, a hose is always needed in a yard. Yet we both hate having to coil up any type of hose. We even had a heavy duty metal hand wound hose reel with wheels. We hated it.....I had bought and was very satisfied with Legacy's compressed air hose reel in my garage. So I decided to try the water hose reel. I did have a small problem initially with the water hose reel, but the repair was taken care of by the factory, at no cost to me. Now, I have the unit back and it works as reliably as my other Legacy. I strongly recommend this product.
