Free-Standing Garden Hose Reel

Item #: 1042-GH

A durable alternative to plastic “box-style" reels!

This model is designed for those who prefer not to drill holes for wall mounted reels...or need the frequent portability of wheeled models. It can rest comfortably on the patio, deck, or right next to bushes. A solid, non-tip base is equipped with four no-slip rubber feet for added protection and stability.

Commment:	I am not one to EVER write reviews...but when I received my new stand alone hose reel, I was blown away. First of all, the packaging is the most professional and organized I have seen. The product construction, metal, not plastic, is so rare these days, I was shocked. And the assembly instruction were clear and consise with REAL tools to do the assembly!! I know this sounds like a company employee writing this, but other than Apple products, I have rarely seen such consumer oriented products in packaging, construction and utility. I would highly recommend this product.

Commment:	purchased a rapid reel a few months ago and it's great. Well built, sturdy and works exactly as advertised. I went through two plastic hose reels in three years - this reel is built to last. I also experinced a minor problem with the connection hose, which seems very well built. I made one short call and another hose was on my porch within days - no charge. I usually do not provide testimonials about products but this reel is fabulous. You won't be disappointed.

Commment:	My husband gave me grief for spending on a hose reel as he opened the box. A couple minutes later he was acting as if he bought it and was reminding me it was best to spend the money to buy it once.

Commment:	This is the ultimate hose reel. Solidly built, low to the ground, and attractive, too! We love the bronze/brownish color. Looks great with the chocolate trim on our house. Functions flawlessly. Thanks for making such a superior product.

Commment:	I'm a Mechanical Engineer, read Consumer Reports, go through Amazon reviews before I buy, etc. I'm a pretty tough customer. When your free-standing garden hose reel arrived I immediately unpacked it and assembled it while sitting on the front stairs in about 10 minutes. I didn’t even have to go get any tools as you included all that were necessary. I then set it next to the packing material, product carton and shipping box and called my wife in to look at it all. I announced to her that I had finally found the perfectly designed, manufactured, and shipped product! You have earned my respect because of your attention to user needs, dedication to good engineering practices and commitment to quality. I purchased a wall-mount unit last year and was impressed then although there were one or two parts that were "weak links." I was aware of the weakness at the time and was still convinced it was the best product of its type on the market. Indeed a critical part did fail HOWEVER your customer service was superb and I was up and running in less than 2 days. I only mention all this because it highlights your commitment to product improvement. Your new design has completely eliminated any weaknesses that I could identify and improved on elements that were already adequate (such as converting the crank handle from plastic to metal). Congratulations, I wish great success for your company and wish there were more like you.

Commment:	Your products - your hoses and hose reels - are of premium quality. You've nailed the design and performance of your new free-standing hose reel. I very much appreciate your drive for high quality and high performance. Your product is superior to all competitors and I know, because I had to go through several other models before your new model hit the space. Thank you for driving high performance in this high-use home item. I own (3) of them now and I am completely satisfied. Married to your brand! Thanks very much!

Commment:	We love this reel. The quality and workmanship are the best we've seen, not only in a reel, but as a product in general. So well made. And it looks handsome, too. I wish we had the need for another one. Thanks for making such a fine product.
