That makes me smile.

Anyway, with regards pole hose and reels, since they're an item that you use almost all of the time, it's probably important that you don't sacrifice quality for cost.

I recommend Gardiner's reels; these ones:

I use the premium metal freestanding one, and it's very easy to use.

Yeh, I've toppled mine over a few times. I'd nail it to a bit of ply wood, to give it a more secure base, but I'm short of space in the back of the van 'cos I've another hose reel and pumps in the way!

Post by: Handyman Window Cleaning Services on May 15, 2011, 06:39:11 pm: the one that have the wheels are better as i take mine out for every job, but the wheels always fell off. these ones much steady tho minus the wheels.

i thought id buy the ones without the wheels to save money but the topple all the time

Secure it to a 'square' of plywood. That stops the 'toppling'!
