 Best reel made July 4, 2007

I hate the cheap plastic reels you find in the big-box stores. I bought some metal reels a couple of years ago, but they ended up rusting and leaking. I bought two of these Rapid Reels last year, and I was so impressed I bought another two this year (covering all of my outside faucets). They're made of solid, heavy metal, brass fittings, and stainless steel nuts and bolts. The paint finish is high quality, and shows no signs of fading on the two that I've had up for a year. All pieces are made well, and I'm convinced they'll last many years. The assembly is straightforward, and the instructions are clear. Yes, these reels are pricey, but the quality justifies the expense.

This is a very nice unit. It can be assembled in several different configurations depending on where you want to put it in relation to the faucet. Instructions were good and assembly was easy. Everything fit together very well, I was surprised at the tight manufacturing tolerances. My unit was not missing the concrete anchors.
My only advice with installing this unit is that the instructions have you assemble the unit before drilling your holes in the wall but it's much easier to mark off and check your hole alignment if you do this before you assemble the unit. That way you only have to hold up the backplate against the wall instead of the entire bulky unit and it makes it easier to see what you're doing.
excellent product at a reasonable price August 22, 2007

I ended up purchasing 4 Rapid Reel units, 2 parallel, 1 perpendicular and a 2 wheel cart. All of them came with the necessary parts though there was a problem with the thread on one of three bolts and the manufacturer sent me a replacement via FedEx next day 10 AM delivery on Saturday!
I am very satisfied with this product and recommend them over any other hose reels that I have seen or used. I give away 4 of the 5 old hose reels that I had and I was glad to see them go.
