ISO: Hose reel with brass fittings
Folks:
I'm looking for a good quality hose reel with brass fittings. I've had 3 or 4 of the plastic reels (purchased at home depot, sears, & menards) and they all end up breaking after a year or so. I'd really like to find something that has sturdy construction and brass fittings that can a) won't break after just 1 year and b) can possibly be replaced if they do break. Any suggestions? I would prefer an email response, as I don't monitor this group often. Thanks! dm |

This post reminds me... Anybody tried a self-winding hose reel? I'm
curious about their function & durability. I've seen these at various places: http://www.hydro-industries.com/index.asp Also my local Home Depot stocks a battery-powered reel (I forget the brand).
