Ok, without giving your idea away, what power is the motor that is used?



Is it 12volt, and what is the amperage?



Would it be a case of one reel in in the morning, and you've sapped your battery for the rest of the day for the pump etc?



Jay.

i run it off a 12v battery and by no means does it drain the battery. i usually charge battery every couple of days depending on usage.not sure of amperage. dont want to give secret away jay as u say

There’s obviously a strong interest and probably a big enough paying market for this.

Hope you can bring it to the market, I would give it a try and I know at least one other who will definitely buy one to try as well.

Good luck

thanks ewan at the minute i would not try an sell one like i use but def goin to develop the idea. it would be no good if i sold u product which was hard for u to attach to your own reel. a wee bit of work is needed bot i will def let u know about it

It`s another thing you don`t have to do and all these things make your day easier,it`s not just 1 thing it`s a combination of pulling and pushing that put un needed strain on you.Why do it if you don`t have to,i would be prepared to pay upwards of £500 for a good 1 that really did work at the same rate that i can reel in by hand or quicker.

£500

It would have to be a patented quality product,i wouldn`t pay that sort of money for something put together in a shed.

yeh i understand i hopefully will be fit to design this product to highest quality. my own is as u say put together in the shed but it still works 100%.

is there anywhere u can buy spare parts for the reel own its own?

hi jeff got your message on youtube.
Thanks for comliments would really like to tell you how it works but that would give my secret away.  when i have it up an running properly you will be the first i contact

[Clive McDonald]

Paul
you are not going to be able to develop this as a proper product, and many on here could find a way to do it if they wanted too. You might as well tell him, even if it is via email. He might come up with something that could help you.

If I thought it was viable I would try and sell the clutches for the spindle but no one's that interested that I can see.

[jefftemperley]

Discount

Im definately interested in the clutchs for the spindle, please let me know where to get em.
i have a motor and the speed controller sorted but im having nightmare dealing with bearing companies trying to find the right solution.

once i have that sorted  i can start rigging something up

appreciate any direction you can point me in

nb paul i understand you need to be cagey so ive gone ahead with having ago myself good luck with your project

[NWH]

If you patent it it will have to have 1 thing even if it`s something silly to make it unique otherwise it will get copied,there are electric reels out there don`t forget.

[jefftemperley]

im not worried about selling them i just want a motor to do the reeling in for me at work! but not at £800 +

Discount

id be interested to see a pic of how you rigged up your drill with the clutch....... save me a bit of head scratching!

cheers

You need to take off the handle and you will need to get a part from scewfix for holding the nut in place in the drill.

[jefftemperley]

dont mind what i have to buy to make it work! shame paul didnt sell me what he has. ive done £100+ so far!

just need that dogleg clutch.............. i think

[Wayne Thomas]

Just an idea. Use a hosereel with bearings fitted (i.e.Ionics has bearings fitted on spindles same as redashe hosereels) Attach a cam belt, pulley belt, washing machine belt, etc and attach it to a 12volt (car) motor of some kind with a variable speed reducing on/off switch. Write off to Scrapheap challenge asking if they can get their eccentric boffins to come up with a stupid idea
