Thought i would write a review after using one of these for the last three years as most reviews are on new purchases I expected it would have lasted longer but unfortunately this last month has developed a leak within the reel. Took the orange side panel off thinking it may be the elbow joint but unfortunately not and the leek is in an inaccessible position with in the actual reel. Being the price they are for a new 30 m one i may try to dismantle it and try a repair but like i say am very disappointed it has not lasted longer.
