Thanks for that Paul,
Is the handle plastic or metal?
Is it made to a heavy duty spec?

Ive seen these on a few sites they look good but you carnt always tell from a picture.

Have a look at the one on our site, The spindle is a solid rod of nylon, which the metal reel spins on. The handle crank is steel with a nylon hand grip, very tough.

I however would always go with the lighter hozelock 60m reels I have several and they last very well (5 years so far) and weigh about a 1/5 of the metal counterparts.

Obviously though the metal reel will be far tougher if you don't mind the weight penalty.
