Why do people need to have a self winding hose reel?
It isn't hard to reel in your hose.
how lazy do people need to get? lol
We use WFP and no longer run up and down the ladders!
next we'll have people wanting a contraption to turn on and it cleans all the windows itself and all you need to do is sit back and watch it work!
Rant over!
Why do I need a carbon fibre pole? Why does it need to be as light as can be? Why do we optimize our kit, and work? Because it makes work easier. If you reel in 60m per job on average, and do 15 jobs, then you reel in almost 2 kilometer per day, that's 657 kilometer a year, from London to Paris and back! And that's just a normal residential day.
Lazy? No, work smarter, not harder.
Our bodies wear, the harder work we do, the quicker the joints/muscles go, a simple forum search will come up with hundreds of people who have problems with their body of the work we do. I don't want to get worse then I already am, and that's at 26!
What wear and tear would winding a hose reel in do?
its like weight training, the more weights you use the more your muscles build up and get use to it.
on average it takes me seconds to wind in my hose.
Winding a hose reel in won't damage your neck or shoulders like glass fibre poles do.
CF poles aren't just used because they are lighter, I find that they are stronger, and more rigid thus being able to put more pressure onto the glass to aid with the scrubbing.
your 26, you should be fit as a fiddle.
I'm 8 years older than you and I haven't noticed any problems with winding my hose in.
the only problem I encountered since changing over to WFP was my neck.
Since then I stand further back from the building so I am not tilting my head back as much.
