When portability is a must!

This popular model is ideal for those who want durability AND portability. A rugged frame and wide wheel base make this model extremely stable and tip-resistant, allowing the reel to be elevated to a comfortable, back-saving height for easy rewinding. The innovative balanced design delivers ultra-easy mobility. NOTE: Hose and spray nozzle pictured are not included .

NOTE: This model replaces TRITON models GH164-CT and GH168-WG. Improvements include heavier castings, less plastic, tighter joints, stronger wheel axles, better braking system, less assembly and an overall increase in component quality.

Commment:	I was truly impressed with the is product. I have have 1 1/2 acres of lawn and a drainage sytem which requires that I constantly water the backyard lawn. I have gone through three plastic hose reels and believe this to be the best reel I have seen. The instructions are first rate. I saved the manual to show to my daughter who designs software and user manuals as an example of one well done.

Commment:	Bought for traveling to horse shows. Everyone who used it, loved it. Several folks brought others over to see the "Cart Rapid Reel". I bet you get some more business just on it selling itself.

Commment:	As a firefighter for over 33 years I know the importance of having quality equipment that will hold up with heavy use. The Rapid Reel products are the best I have used. Thank you for making the commitment to produce a hose reel that will last a life time.

Commment:	Wish I had purchased this before wasting the money on prior purchases of a steel model that rusted, and a high dollar plastic hose reel that couldn't handle the weight of winding the 150 feet of hose it was designed for.

Commment:	The price seemed high but I've spend more than the purchase price on crappy hose reels over the past few years and they break before the summer is out. Once I put these together the quality was impressive. Very nice product and well worth the price.

Commment:	This is my second, owned, rapid reel. Both, work very well. Will never understand, why, general public, will purchase, the plastic, reels available at local outlets. Could not be happier, with my rapid reel,knowing the easy assembly, and use for the benefit of my home, yards, and irrigation. Thank you!

Commment:	Pricey, but definitely sturdy and I expect it to last a long time. I've discovered it's worth it to purchase the best outdoor maintenance equipment I can afford and this is one of those things. No more having a garage full of broken tools.

Commment:	Excellent in every way. Even the packaging is outstanding. I have the extra capacity kit with two hundred feet of hose on the reel. It seems perfectly balanced on the two wheels. This should be the last hose reel I'll ever need to buy. Well worth the price.

Commment:	I tried the plastic reels you find in home centers and I even tried a unit made of metal that I thought would be an upgrade. That was a mistake. At the end of the day, the Rapid Reel is the only way to go.

Commment:	Very Well Built Product. The Best I have seen so far. Instruction Manual explains how to assemble everything in great detail. Also includes the tools to assemble the product. For a long time I was using one of the hose carts I bought at one of those Do it Yourself Hardware stores. Every time I went to pull the Cart out it would hit the back of my heel of my foot, you couldn't push it you had to pull it. Big mistake that was. Went on the Internet to look for a Heavy Duty Hose Cart, came across Rapid Reel Hose Reels. Thought I would take a chance. Glad I did. Used it today. Buy it. You won't be sorry.

Commment:	This is my third purchase of this product; the quality of design and construction is the best I've ever seen. I especially like that the tires are solid; the reel that I got rid of with purchase always had several flat tires whenever I wanted to move it...annoying! I expect many years of trouble free service from all three of my reels.

Commment:	Never thought I could be excited about a hose reel before but this product has impressed me beyond belief. Like others I have spent good money on the best the Home Improvement stores had to offer only to become angry time and time again. I would and probably will purchase another product from Rapid Reel.

Commment:	I have been looking for a GOOD hose real that I didn't have to replace every other summer because of leakage and/or breakage. Finally, I found one that's better than GOOD, it is just excellent! Sturdy, great quality, and pleasant to look at! This hose reel is wonderful. It's easy to pull out and roll up and it is so well-made. I guess I'm DONE with those disposable plastic things. So great, I bought another one for the back yard spigot.

Commment:	This new 2009 model is a thing of beauty -- engineering and precision manufacturing are top notch. Built like a tank, but very maneuverable. The wife (a landscape architect and gardening buff) absolutely loves it. Next purchase is the wall mount to replace the crappy plastic reel from previous owner.
