>Who's making a decent auto retracting reel these days?
I bought 4 different ones so far for this project. 3 where Harbor Freight
Cheepies (two different styles) and one was a "kobalt" one from Lowes.
Marked down to $20! (with 40 foot of hose.)
It seems that it was replaced by their new model. If I found 10 more of
them, I would buy them. VERY nice. The only problem is the mounting is a
little wacky. It's well thought out UNTIL you put the fasteners on.
The HF ones are fine for the money but not high quality. I plan on
replacing them as they break.
So far, this project is into day four. I LITERALLY have over $1000 of
pipe, fittings and such in my garage (most will be returned unopened.) But
I can't believe that this project is consuming my life!!
Right now, it's all hooked up. I just have 2 leaks to fix tomorrow.
(which means dissembling pipes to fix them.)
I've taken some pics, I'll post them later.
