Pros & Cons
Pros
Metal hose cart is one of the best i ever had; no leaks, all metal construction, hose pulls out without tipping over and can be cranked back with no problem. Easy to rewind the hose and also move around. Your best bet is two wrenches or a wrench and v... Read More
As with most hose reels, the hose needs to be lined up in front of it to roll onto the reel. I have a hose coiled up on a hook on the side of the house…now i have to find a wall mounted version of this. This particular hose reel is very well made.
Yb's reel is higher which reduces your bending. It's way better than any of the old el-cheapo plastic reels i've used in the past. The only small problem is the short hose that connects the reel to the house was bent in the box.
Cons
Reviewer says it's a horrible design as far as leaking as it’s showing on the picture. It needs much thicker and sturdier hose lines. Inner 's' pipe rusted, parts are too expensive to make the repairs worth it.
The crank handle fit ok (if loosely), but the truck handle holes do not align so that the screw can be inserted.

It did start leaking this week googled the leak issue found a repair video ordered 12 bucks worth of parts and im pretty sure it will be good for another 8 years

Fyi the leak is from a replaceable part and not covered by the lifetime warranty but presuming the 12 bucks worth of parts fixes the issue i am a happy hoseer

Another fyi if you invest in a good hose reel invest in a good hose

Do yourself a favor and add a 5 foot stainless supply hose instead of the vinyl one and your yard butler becomes the ultimate cadillac
