HOZELOCK - Cart Reel 60 m without Equipment : Max Capacity 60m, Reinforced Axis, Freestanding, Stable and Easy to Use, Integrated Handle, Supplied with 2 Fittings [2398R0000]

Easy to assemble and works great.

Just completed the assembly of this Hoselock trolley, and although pleased with it, I found it quite difficult to put together, as many others have too. I am normally pretty good with DIY and “building things” but I was already alerted to potential trouble having read other reviews.Just to reassure people though, the build process is actually quite straightforward. It’s vital that you study the box instructions, and take your time to make sure you follow the instructions closely. Some of the pieces can’t be taken apart if you put them together incorrectly, but it’s straightforward enough......until you get to section 6 of the instructions! This is where I had to resort to YouTube (like others have!) I couldn’t fathom out why there was a long spring, which way it had to go, and how to proceed. Being fearful of “not being able to undo it if I do it wrong” I checked on YouTube. Again, taking my time, it suddenly became very easy. The YouTube suggestions others have made are extremely helpful. Once past the “spring bit” it was a simple case of attaching the wheels and the job was done.So in short, take your time, closely follow the instructions on the box, check before committing, as you can’t undo some of the joins you have to make. And once you get to section 6 (the “spring” bit!) I highly recommend you look at YouTube.Once it’s put together it’s a nice little trolley which holds my 60m hose quite happily. Shame the instructions aren’t quite as clear as they could be at section 6, but don’t be put off by the concerns in some of the reviews. Just be careful and take your time (and use YouTube!)I hope this helps others.

As with some other reviewers, assembly instructions definitely 'could be better', especially for fitting the support spring (a sheet with clearer detais would be a welcome improvement, although hopefully I won't need to assemble another one!), and some of the bits are a bit stiff to push together. Also, I got a 50m Ultimate hose to g on it - 60m of hose would, I think, need to be wound extremely carefully to get it to fit. Winding the 50m carefully is OK, and definitely coils easier with water in it, although that does make it heavier. Filling it with water before first winding it on is also likely to be tricky. If I had thought about it, I would have put the new hose on something where I could unwind it from the coil, but hindsight is a wonderful teacher LOL. Also, it includes two 'standard' hose fittings to go on the ends of the feeder hose from the tap, but NOT the water-stop connector to go on the hose end.Having assembled it all, It feels quite sturdy, rolls nicely, and the hose unwinds and winds quite easily. Too soon to say what the lngevity will be, but the old hose cart (not Hozelock) was showing signs of old age after well over 20 years service (the hose had also started to suffer as well ...) so the 5-year warranty will, I hope, never have to be applied!All in all a good product, assembly could be easier, and the assembly instructions could definitely do with spending a few extra pence to include a more detailed sheet in the box.

Usual quality item from Hozelock. Self assembly but good instructions on box.

I thought buying a hozelock product it would be quite straightforward to assemble, how wrong I was ! If you want to loose your temper quickly, buy one of these !

Agreeing with most of the other commentsEasy enough to assemble in about 20 minutes. The use of a mallet (as shown) is not actually required. The drum halves are a firm push fit, and the stand bracket can be manoeuvred to the side of its slot and pushed inwards, rather than hammering downwards as shown. It must be pretty obvious to most people that the hose connector rotates with the drum, so it's best to leave the connecting hose off while winding. My 50m hose filled the drum to the rim, so it's definitely not suitable for 60m. Like similar hose carts it needs holding down while under load.

Just one complaint, handle pulls out easy when trying to wind the hose up, other than that, very pleased with the hose.

Our last hose reel was a cheaper item and did not last, so, in need of a new one, I ended up buying this. Although the directions are, shall we say, fairly limited, a few minutes to look at the diagrams and check the pieces made assembly a relatively simple process. I did note from other revies that people couldn't figure out where the 'spring' went. It is important to realise that the item supplied is ont a spring as such, but is intended to travel inside the hose and prevent it from kinking. Once you realise this, it is obvious where it goes.

Since there isn't any parts list with the reel I can only assume that I'm missing a couple connection ends because I have no coupler end to attach to the house spicket?

excellent devidoir semble tres costaud

Il manque les pièces pour pouvoir monter le devidoire

Der Wagen kommt als Bausatz und kann in 10 Minuten zusammen gebaut werden. Danach habe ich gleich mal einen 60m Meter Schlauch getestet und siehe da er schaffte ihn ohne Herausforderungen. Alles in allem ein preiswerter Rollwagen, der den Schlauch gut behandelt.
