Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rapid Reel 150-Foot Two-Wheel Cart Hose Reel GH164-CT
Customer Review: Easier to assemble then I thought
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I really haven't had much time to use the product, this review is based on the ease of assembly. When I first got it I was concerned that it would be too complicated to asemble. It turned out to be real easy. I did 90% of the assembly myself and ask my husband to help with the last part which was loading on the hose. So far so good.Customer Review: I was expecting more
Summary: 3 Stars
Like many others I have had it with the plastic hose reels. I decided to spend the money and get the best.
while this is supperior to the plastic reels it is not great. a 100' 3/4" hose is putting this to the test. The product was easy to put together but the performance is not the best. They should include some helfull advise with the purchase ( like do not use a 3/4 " hose on this ree)
I would have like a more heavy duty unit.
Customer Review: Is there a different company making these and labeling then as Rapid Reel?
Summary: 3 Stars
I was all set to buy what I had heard was a quality product but now I'm hesitant.
It seems like these reels are quite different in construction quality than the original steel models. Also, why is the maker listed as Reel Quick? Did some other company license the Rapid Reel name and start making these cheaply and out of the country?
Customer Review: Good idea, bad design
Summary: 2 Stars
The cart is easy to assemble, the wheels roll very easy and the hose reel winds great. But, the plastic "clamp" that holds the reel on to the cart broke after a few uses and every time unwind or wind the hose I have to make sure the entire reel does not come off. Now I am looking for a replacement.Customer Review: Lots of Parts
Summary: 2 Stars
It's a good reel, but DO NOT BUY this product from the manufacturer unless you have a few hours to kill assembling it and enjoy cursing while you juggle screws and nuts. The directions are mediocre, and the amount of assembly required (35 "easy steps") is plain silly.
