Garden Hose Reel

This is one of the best garden hose reels I've ever owned.I picked this hose reel because I wanted something cute and small because it would have to be quite visible on my deck behind the house. I also don't have much storage space in my townhouse so I was resigned to buying a new reel every year and just leaving it outside.

I was very happy when I found the exact duplicate of what I purchased 25 years ago. This is the best hose for the money and it so easy to use. After receiving my new Ames Reel Hose I was able to put a new hose on the old 25 year old Hose King Reel and it has been moved to the side of the house ready for another 25 years.

 It's a simple, fairly lightweight reel. I'm happier than I thought I would be.

 First off, $50 for this is a heck of a bargain. It's a good hose with a very capable reel, and about 4' of connecting hose you can run to the spigot. It connects to the spigot via a quick release valve, which both makes it a cinch to hook up, and easy to move around if you have extra quick-releases.

It has been a pleasure to use, easy to move it to where I need it, winds up easily, and looks so much cleaner than anything else that's portable.

A note about the price: if you compare the cost of a good hose ($50 or more) and a hose reel ($30 or more), this is not a bad deal at all.
