Heavy Duty Hose Reel - Will Last a Lifetime!
For the owner of a large lawn, there are many products out there which are designed to make lawn care easier. But one element of keeping your lawn green and beautiful is always tricky to handle – massive lengths of yard hose. Even if you have installed automatic sprinklers, there’s always shrubbery, garden areas, or other plants you’ll need to maintain. For this reason, it is a good idea to buy a heavy duty hose reel, one that can withstand the weight of hundreds of feet of hose.
One excellent option is Yard Butler’s HT-2EZ garden hose truck. Mounted on two pneumatic tires, this heavy duty hose reel can hold up to 200 feet of hose and travel along even rugged terrain. Made of tough steel and finished with an anti-rust, silver vein powder coat, this truck will last for many years of outdoor use. Features on this model include a drip-less swivel, anti-kink reel, and brass fittings all around. It is also designed for easy assembly; it can be put together in 10 minutes or less.
One important thing to keep in mind, though, is that this Yard Butler has a slight design flaw – sometimes the handle will bump against the reel housing as you wind up the hose. This problem can be solved by gently bending the handle to allow it to turn smoothly. If you can make this small adjustment, the hose will curl around the reel perfectly. You’ll find no kinks in your hose, or leaks along any of the connections. You can tug for more hose without worrying about the unit tipping over. However, if you are using a heavy-duty hose (5/8 inches), you should keep in mind that this truck will probably only hold about 100-125 feet. But for most people 100-200 feet of any kind of hose is more than adequate.
For the price (around $100), this Yard Butler heavy duty hose reel is likely to be a worthwhile investment, helping you keep your lawn beautiful – and your hose neat – for years into the future.
