Post by: michael papworth on April 01, 2010, 09:56:33 pm: On the plus side, it looks like a very neat solution at a very reasonable cost considering there's a good-looking reel included. And free P&P.

On the minus side, 10 m is maybe a little short.

On the other hand, if you're happy moving the trolley rather more often, why not?

Post by: chopsie on April 01, 2010, 09:59:02 pm: I will see what other lengths it comes in.I do not intend to use it all the time,as i have a van mount. I am just making a trolley out of my broken back pack

Post by: chopsie on April 01, 2010, 10:08:53 pm: yes your probably right,But my intentions if i have a trolley is to use less hose,so not getting tangled up all the time,or dragging over plants and flowers or snagging all the time,so I really do not want 50 meters else i may as well use the van mount ???
