Thanks @doug. I've had to do this with all three of my reels. Like I said previously, 'a simple problem that should have been sorted at design and manufacture, years ago.Davey,
Interesting you have said that as we have quite a few issues and get told no one else has had issues just you !!!
And I agree what you are saying
Your quite welcome to quote me to anyone if you wish. I think I was told by my supplier at the time that I was the only one that ever reported the issue.
A confession : it's not a Davy G original idea. It was the suggestion of a treasured and much respected pal of mine several years ago when I asked his advice. It is a transformation to the reels. A couple of turns of the big handle to get it moving and the reel takes on a flywheel affect making winding in almost effortless, provided I take some of the hose back with me while returning to the van, rather than trying to winch in the whole lot from the farthest corner of the properties.
