Here is the inside-

Comment its crap, you need to really pull the hose hard to get it to unreel and its 5 seconds longer to reel in so its not a "fast" reel. Not sure if it would be better with standard hose, I will use it for watering the plants etc. Got it from Makro for £49
Will stick to my existing reel which I am having fun unrolling and reeling in, its fast.  8)

I haven't yet managed to get a self layering mechanism,.. but I've found the perfect 12V motor & gearbox with a very smooth clutch mechanism,... on an electric golf trolley!

I'll try & put it together over the weekend & will post some pics.

Excellent let us know how it goes. As for a fixed reel setup, I've been using this for a long time now and it's absolutely perfect :

Did you ever get the golf trolley motor working? Would love to know if it's possible to make this setup work
