18 mm,it does fit the nut on the reel handle it was just that i dont have a  connection between the socket and the drill but hopefully thanks to lee i should be able to get one from screwfix in the morning

[bobplum]

unlike the past post i have mounted mine by two threaded stud hooks,bolted to the frame inside the van,it can be lifted off the studs at any time,so now when i reel the hose in i am standing,more or less straight instead of bending over the reel,i have a couple of cordless drills in the garage doing nothing so i thought i would give this a try tomorrow if it doesnt work its only cost £4.00 for the socket connections from screwfix

The screw fix adapters are exactly what you need. Socket on the end, been using mine about a year. Invest in a low torque 18v lithium. 90quid b and q. (extra battery and half hour charger) I get about 50 reels from one battery. (100m) Keep on lowest torque setting (important) will stop you shredding plastic spindle. Mines lasted a year a plastic is still good.

Keep handle handy in case your battery goes. btw. I just hold my drill I think it gives more control. Dont fix it down imo.

Got a mate that had tool made for 60quid to hold socket. Gutted when I found the screwfix adapters

Any questions 07401568219 happy to help.

Ive tired a drill on someones system, works well

What i will say though is like BVC said keep it on low, not only you shredding the plastic spindle but i found it can really pull on your wrist if your not carefel.

This would probably work better and take up less space

Don't mess around with recharging battery's, wire it in to a 12v car battery.
