I was just wondering if anybody has ever used one of these water hose
reels? I'm thinking about getting one just don't know if they are
worth it, any help would really be great? OR if you can suggest
something thats pretty good for a newbie here - LOL. http://www.getcoxreels.com


They look like anything but water hose reels. I have a plastic
cheapie thing from HD for about $25 that works well. For another
shorter hose I hand-coil, secure the ends together, and hang it up.

My hanger is very simple, quick and inexpensive to build. Take a 24"
wooden dowel and securely tie one end of a cord to the middle of the
dowel. Attach the other end of the dowel to the ceiling such that the
dowel hangs around eye level. To hang up the coil put the dowel
through the coil, turn it, and let the coil hang. This holder works
well for my shop air hose too. Not my invention, but works
exceptionally well.
