Ive had the metal ones, and most will dis agree on here but you cant beat a good old plastic hozelock one like this



Mines been going over 2 years and they sell them locally for £12.99, bargain by all accounts, get 100m of 6mm on easy. Very hard wearing, i wasnt impressed with the metal ones, they dont stand up to the job in my opinion. I cant comment on gardiners ones as i dont know.

My 2 pence worth.

wont this green thing just fall over when i go for a run with the hose?

No secure it down, i use something resembling this, i get 4 of them and screw them down.



I got them from local diy shop, they usually to fix pipping to the walls etc. Cost pennys

plank of wood on each metal runner and it stabilises it. Done this with my metal reel and it's ideal. Will work on hosereel
