Too heavy

,
October 8, 2012
By res115
from Hartford
"Nice styling, looked good on garage wall.
BUT, upon mounting it and pivoting the reel, it broke apart and fell to the floor, first time using it.
The 65 footer is much too heavy for the standard casing that is used for all applications.
I have the identical casing for my 50 foot air hose reel
The top and bottom support pins are made of plastic, not capable of bearing the load.
Contacted the manufacturer for replacement caps, but they referred me back to Northern. SOOOOoooooo, judge for yourself.

IT'S REEL-Y BIGGAH!

August 22, 2012
By hevygunz
from Upstate NY
"Bought this to replace numerous single extention cords, and to reach remote areas in my shop. I was surprized by its size -- with 12 gauge cable it's rather large -- not a unit that can be mounted in tight quarters. I had no problem putting it up, and the mechanism seems to be robust. I'll probably buy another soon."

"I mounted the unit on the wall just inside my garage door. I mainly use it to power my grass edger. At full length it reaches from one side of the fron ssidewalk to the other. It performs as expected and recoils effortlessly after each use."

"I hung this from the ceiling in my car port. The 12/3 gauge wire will handle all my electrical demands for any home project. The 3 prong plug recepticle is a plus."

Does the Job

May 7, 2012
By Trekbiker
from Chattanooga, Tn
"I bought this reel for my home workshop to replace a 40' reel that was just too short. This reel mounts easily and has a nice strong spring that rolls up all the cord. It's used daily and has stood up well to use. If it broke tomorrow I'd replace it with an identical unit. I also really like the 3-plug end so I can plug in a fan as well as tools I'm using."
