 From Lincoln, Nebraska, The Rapid Reel That Makes Hose Management a Pleasure, Not a Struggle.
I’ve had it trying to coil up and store our garden hose by hand. Your clothes get filthy, the hose never coils neatly, and it’s nearly impossible to prevent kinking. And once you store a hose with a kink in it, its days are numbered. Sure, I tried those cheap plastic reels, but they’re just too flimsy and unstable to hold 100’ of hose without tipping over, and eventually cracking. Then I discovered Rapid Reel, the over-engineered reel that’s built like a John Deere — now I can’t wait to wash the car!
 Heartland Quality — Out in Lincoln, they still know a thing or two about simple virtues like quality and durability. Rugged, rust-proof, die-cast aluminum T-bone chassis provides rock-steady stability. You can quickly pull out 150’ of 5/8” hose and not tip it over. Semi-pneumatic tires won’t go flat; turf tread rolls kindly over wet sod. The 5’ x 3/4” connector hose comes with a crush-proof, solid brass fitting that won’t strip like plastic threads. Attach your hose to the reel through a beautifully machined, 3/4” brass swivel that uses sealed ball bearings to give smooth, effortless winding and unwinding. Even comes with a stainless steel spring you insert into the hose end that attaches to the swivel — so the required curve never forms a crimp or a kink! Despite considerable heft (27 lbs. without hose), Rapid Reel balances easily with one hand as you roll it from garden to driveway to patio. Comes with extremely durable, bronze powder-coated finish. Hose not included. 150’ x 5/8” capacity.
