Ames Sidemount Hose Reel

Comments about Ames Sidemount Hose Reel:

We have water access in our garage and I was tired of lugging out the hose. I wanted something that would mount on the wall, but not take up such a large footprint. This side mount design was exactly what I wanted.[...] Supplied with mounting hardware it took me all of about 5 minuets to install. At first I was going to install it directly over the water supply, but realized the leader hose was long enough to let me mount it over a couple feet closer to the garage door. Heck, that gives me a little extra reach.I bought a brand new craftsman 50 foot hose. It was a heavy duty hose and fit on this perfectly. However, I do not see how a 100 foot hose would work well. Maybe a standard 100 foot hose may work, but it would be pushing it. 50 feet was MORE than enought for me.After mounting and attaching the hose, it was time to see if this thing leaked at all. Fired it up and it was flawless. Later that weekend I washed the car and had a nice dry garage floor because this thing didnt leak at all.If your looking for something for the garage, this is what you want. Very well priced and performed great.

Light weight, easy to install, does not drip like the old one. The hose guide at the bottom could use some rollers to make the hose go in easier.
