I received my club in record time and but stopped assembling this industrial hose reel. It matched the picture to a tee. Our former hose reel was not of the same quality as this one, eve though it cost more. The heart section of our old reel received been crushed when the hose was twined on to it with no pressure and then pressurized. The heart section of this reel is of well heavier gauge and I doubtfulness it will be crushed. Wholly of the hose fittings are of machined brass and that includes the swivel section. The swivel eve has a C-clip thence that it can be involved aside and the O-ring seals inside replaced when the time comes. These fittings were made of steel on our old hose reel and rusted gravely over time. Replacing the seals on the old reel was not possible and it was starting to leak badly. I reach lots of brownie items for whole of the brass fittings and heavy duty welded construction of this reel! I twined most 250 ft of 3/4″ OD hose onto the reel and that but most filled it up. I would see 300 ft to be a small on the optimistic side. Assembly became well and the whole units feels solid and alike it will last. It rolls nicely on the big globe bearing wheel, though I could do without having four more tires to continue inflated.
