Mine is a Pure Freedom reel. I reckon the hose must snag 10-15 times a day because the gap between the reel and the frame is too wide causing me to go back to the van cursing. Next time I looked online Pure Freedom had removed the reel from sale. Had I been more experience when I bought it I would have sent it back as not fit for purpose.

My worst piece of equipment , well what could that be I guess .
It was a upgrade for earlier poor product .... But I'll leave it at that ...

+1 I've got the same reel mate, absolute wind up (pardon the pun)
I've resorted to bending the metal circular parts with a pair of grips to try to make the gap smaller which has helped a bit but still gets in occcasionally which fuks me right off

a hand held device which remotely moved wheelie bins out of the way, i think it needs a new battery

Probably me, too old and too lazy ;D ::)roll

Same, got a cheap 40 foot pole of ebay for £60 2 years ago and now hate it, its only for high windows but it soooo needs to be replaced next year with a carbon one. missus wouldn't let me spend this year because of the holiday to Perth next week, but next year its top of the list.. whooo might actually run over the old one just for fun...

The strainer. Necessary but very poorly designed/made. Very frustrating.

What do you find wrong with it Stuart ?
Have used one for years with no problems at all.
Once fitted you just screw off the clear plastic remove and clean the metal filter and put it back in.
Just make sure you clean it when the tanks empty. I do it once a year when I have the tank emptied
for the vans m.o.t.

Never had a strainer on mine and it's been going 6 years all day everyday without any problems.

My worst is Gardener adjustable( crank) extended goose neck they always brake at the same stop. It seems to brake at this time of the year when it starts getting cold. Alex has replaced two but have broke the two replacements last week and one this week I do believe they need some design up grade.

Our tank lid is outside (back of a truckcab Land Rover) so we do get the odd bit of crud in the tank so the strainer is a necessity. Due to the limited space for the equipment the pump and strainer must be mounted above the tank - therefore the daft strainer thingymabob tends to get airlocked.

Wagtail.
Bought 2 of them for a job and find them useless. The cloth/microfiber bit is too short to flip over the blade so constantly falls down again.
Both of them are in the junk bin with all the other useless crud now.
