This hose reel is junk...I thought it was good when I put my garden hose on it,it felt like a quality item winding it up,but today I took out about 20 feet of hose and it wouldn't wind it back in.Looking inside as I wound,the big wheel on the hand crank side was broken away from the center barrel,so as I see it I never really got to use it,broke the first time out.Never again for me.
