Customer Review: low quality plastic reel
The whole reel is made of cheap and thin plastic. The crank gear is also plastic, and as soon as you put some stress on it (like trying to rewind a 100ft hose laying on the ground) it will start skipping and coming apart. The whole product is made of smaller plastic parts that are snapped together, which can not take the smallest amount of stress without breaking off from one another. By my second heavily assisted rewind the whole assembly started leaking like mad (something else snapped I guess), prompting me to return it. This seems to be a common theme with all the Suncast products, as this is a third model of their hose reel that I have tried. If you had a bad experience with one, do not assume that their more expensive units are any better made. They're just more expensive, that's all.
Customer Review: Garden Hose Reel Cart
I purchased this product because the one I had for over 11 yrs broke. I was looking for something that I did not have to bend down to reel up, I received this product in good condition but found that the product is not as sturdy as it should be. When you are reeling up your hose you have to hold the frame in fear it will break or crack. The inside where the conector is that you attach your hose is constantly leaking. We have tried everything to get it to stop. I feel its not worth the money they are charging, you can get one made better at your local Lowes or home depot for alot less.

Toro 2-Way Garden Hose Connector Valve #53903

Customer Review: High Quality
I have always bought the brass valves in the past. They eventually corrode and are hard to turn on and eventually leak. This Toro product is great. It is so easy to turn on and off. It has protective end caps as well to keep dirt out when you are not using it. I bought bothe the 2-way and a single value. Both are great. Highly recommended.

* Thumb operated shut off lever controls water flow * 10 patterns for every watering need * Solid aluminum construction * Finger grooves for positive grip on the handle
Customer Review: Nice nozzle!
Lightweight, easy to use. I should have used a screen between hose and nozzle though as some of the smaller opeeings seem clogged.
