So far, so good.  I bought three of these and just installed the first.  The installation was not particularly complicated, requiring a drill, a hefty screw driver and about 30 minutes.  I was surprised that the Sidewinder handled so much of my hose, as I loaded it up to full capacity without a problem.  I turned on the water and, amazingly, no drips from the internal connection!  We will have to see if it holds up with near year-round use it will receive here in northern California, but I am pleased so far.  I have been shopping for a solution for storing of all of my hoses around the house, and these seem to have met my needs.  I am happy to get the hoses off the ground and pleased to have found a solution at such a reasonable price.
