It is advisable to be careful when buying. What you see on the website or in the advertisement is not what you will receive. Without the stand that it is shown on, the hose reel is of no use. The seller only updated the description after I purchased the item to mention that the hose reel itself does not come with the stand shown in the picture. Although the reel looks heavy-duty, it is useless if it does not come with a stand, as it is far too heavy to handle or use in reality.
Immediately after using the reel for three times, a leak appeared on the swivel packing. As well as the detent pin that keeps the reel locked in one of four positions falling out between the shop and the first job the reel was sent to, one of the four position retainers did as well. I returned to Accurex and bought a reel from Cox.

Initial impressions suggest that it feels sturdy and is very well constructed. I'm in awe. A call was placed, an e-mail was sent, and photos were sent. A delivery of a replacement along with a return label were provided as soon as Northern Tools learned of the defect. After receiving the replacement item, I carefully compared it with the previous one. In fact, they are the same items with the exception that the original was altered. A hole was not drilled or a drill mark was not visible on the second item. In the first one, the operation has been modified in an inadequate attempt to modify it. There may have been a pressure bypass or pressure gauge in their minds. The process never got completed in any case. Take a look at the photos. In the end, I returned the original reel after comparing the two. This is an excellent reel in the end, in my opinion. This is a very heavy duty product. When you pull extra hose off the reel at a bad angle, even from 20 feet away, this reel stays put and does not tip. Initially, I was pretty skeptical about the reel, but I'm very impressed now.
