 Love it but beware |

| Reviewer: Deep Vee, |
Couldn't be more happier with this product. Every positive review is dead-on, this thing is very well built and built to last a long time...well worth the $$$.
When you go to install the masonry anchors....be very sure you worked the drill bit a little in the hole to make it an easy fit, 5/16 is just slightly snug and if it gets stuck that's it...it will not come out. Reason i'm pointing this out is you need the bracket in place when installing the anchors...if it gets stuck the bracket is hanging from the wall. I've been using masonry bits for years, I always go in and out a few times to clear all the debris and smooth the sides slightly, but these anchors measure slightly larger than 5/16...just enough to get stuck halfway in, which mine did. Now I have a project I didn't plan on.
Other than that....it's practically perfect. |
Much Better than typical hardware store plastic hose reels

I had a plastic wall-mounted hose reel before, and within a few months it started leaking from the hub connection and no amount of sealant or tightening could stop it. Worse, after about 2 years the plastic got brittle from exposure to the sun and started to crack.
I bought three Rapid Reels for my new home and have used them for nearly 4 years without any leaks. The construction quality is awesome; heavy gauge steel well painted--no rust!
I recently bought two more for my in-laws; the new design is even better! You can adapt it so that the reel is either perpendicular or parallel to the wall. All necessary hardware is included, and it is good quality hardware. Installation is easier than before. Holds plenty of hose. |
Very nice, durable product. Highly recommended.

| This reel is very well thought out and it is a worthwile upgrade over a reel you may find at a home improvement store. You can tell someone put some time and effort into every aspect of the product. Even the instructions and fasteners are nice. I bought two for my house and I couldn't be happier with my choice! |
Works Great!

| It was everything as advertised. The reel should last me forever. It was probably the best packed item I've ever recieved. Good instructions. Installation was easy. I've had a chance to use it a few times and it works great. Everyone who has seen it wants one. Very pleased with this purchase. |
If NASA built garden hoses, this would be it!

Sometimes you just stumble across a product that amazes you, not because they do something so amazing or cute or ingenious, but these guys have taken the most mundane product and made it amazing!
I've made numerous trips to HD or Lowe's to get a garden house reel, but I finally gave up after the last one cracked and fell off the wall. So I did a search on the web. I came across Rapid Reel, and watched the video - these guys not only seemed like a great manufacturer they made it easy to install and unless someone steals it from the side of my house, it should last a looooong time!
What was so amazing was that it's a simple thing, a garden hose reel, but not only was the product build like a NASA designed product but the packaging, nuts and bolts and instructions were exemplary. You can tell these guys took great care in design, manufacturing and marketing. The rotating fitting for the hose attachment is bronze and rotates smoothly. The wind up handle is big and securely attached, making reeling in the hose effortless - and the backlash brake keeps the hose from unwinding on the floor. The wall bracket is huge, and when attached with the supplied concrete or wood fittings is solid and secure. I didn't even have to make a trip back to HD to get concrete anchors, they supplied them. Just taking the parts out of the box tells you these guys put a lot of thought into not only the product, but the packaging and parts as well.
Stop wasting your money, buy one of these and install it. Then you can write a glowing review like this one. |
