Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rapid Reel 150-Foot Two-Wheel Cart Hose Reel GH164-CTCustomer Review: New Rapid Reel Improved Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second Rapid Reel. The first was purchased several years ago and is still giving great service. I needed another reel because of my large yard. The Rapid Reel that I just purchased arrived and I noticed that it is different than the older ones. The design has been changed a bit and it is now cast aluminum. It is still heavy duty, but lighter than the previous model. Rust should be much less of an issue. The instruction sheet for assembly has many steps. The large number of steps may be intimidating to the novice. Don't let this bother you, if you carefully follow the directions in order, check each step off as you go, you shouldn't have any problem. The instructions are very well written and are easy to follow. Unlike a plastic reel, this hose reel is heavy duty and well worth the price. You won't be disappointed. It will easily hold 100 feet of 5/8" hose and won't tip over when pulling on the hose to unwind the reel. The new model has an adjustable clutch which prevents further unwinding when you stop pulling on the hose. I like that feature. The clutch also prevents the reel from unwinding after you have rewound the hose on the reel. When my hose is all wound up for storage, I keep my nozzle attached to the hose. The weight of the nozzle and end of hose tend to cause the reel to unwind until the nozzle touches the ground. This is annoying especially when you attempt to move the reel from one location to another. This was a problem with the older model, but not with the newer one because of the clutch. I did complain to Rapid Reel of some play in the handle. It turns out that this is part of the design. Rapid Reel does have a modification kit which will eliminate this play. If requested, Rapid Reel will quickly send you the modification kit at no charge. I elected to go with the modification. I recommend this reel and consider it an improvement over the older model.
