Eley Rapid Reel Hose Reel

I had been searching for a hose reel that was tough enough to hold up to what we dish out after replacing the plastic hose reel boxes every few years. I think I finally found one, the Eley Rapid Reel. My husband installed it while I watched from the comfort of the air conditioned house and not only is it built tough, it reels the hose in like a charm.
The Rapid Reel holds 150 feet of hose which is perfect for us as we always have it stretched across the yard to water chickens and ducks.
Installation was easy with just a few tools. The hard part was figuring out exactly where we wanted to place the reel.
It reels in effortlessly which is a huge reason no one ever rolled the hose up before, it was too much work. Now it gets reeled in after each use, well worth the money over the plastic box kind.
