10 Easy Pieces: Crank Hose Reels

March 7, 2018

Nothing concludes a satisfying stint in the yard like neatly wrapping up the hose. But a tranquil afternoon of gardening can deteriorate into a sweaty wrestling match if you have to manhandle 100 feet of synthetic rubber onto a hose holder. With a manually rewinding hose reel, a few turns of the crank zips the hose back into place like Lady (or the Tramp) sucking in a spaghetti strand. For durability and style, choose a metal version, like the 11 fine specimens below.

For a portable version, consider a hose reel on wheels. A Swiss-made Small Steel Hose Trolley has a steel frame, rubber wheels, and a comfortably sized hand crank. The Cadillac of hose reels, it is designed to be &#8\2\20;the last one you&#8\2\17;ll purchase.&#8\2\2\1; It is €3\16 at Manufactum.
