Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rapid Reel GH164-PL 150-Foot Parallel Wall Reel
Customer Review: Its about time, I should have purchased this a long, long time ago.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was fed up with purchasing multiple hose reels that would crack or break. I finally spent a little extra and purchased the Rapid Reel. I couldn't be happier with my purchase it allows a lot of reeling with little effort compared to the plastic reels. It reels smooth and is built to last. I use a 150 foot very heavy duty car wash hose (detail bay) and it reels with no problems. Expert approved!Customer Review: Just as described, works very well.
Summary: 5 Stars
Assembled and installed very easily. Not much to it but it's sturdy and well made and a real convenience for people who despise dealing with hoses which pretty much includes me.Customer Review: Just bought my 4th

Summary: 4 Stars
This is where it's at baby! I've gone through countless plastic hose reels that were barely adequate when new and then literally disintegrate after a few years. This, however, is one solid hunk of high quality hose reel. I have no doubt it will last a very long time.
On the down side, you can't really change the direction the hose unwinds because the clutch and ratchet only operation in one direction. If there is a way to get the hose to unreel from the top toward the right, like in the picture, I wasn't able to figure it out. I just ended up winding the hose from the bottom, which is somewhat inconvenient. The other option would be keep the clutch loose and wind from the top but the clutch is a nice feature. So close to perfection!
