Use ptfe on threads. When done up tight put electrical tape round it.The electrical tape is not to stop leaks. When you wind and unwind this intriduces a turning moment on the hose that attaches to the reel, the tape stops this movement.
Have you got one of those brass elbow joints that Gardiners sell?
no its just a standard brass which came with the reel, but i have a few of them and they all the same.... are the elbow ones good?

Not on most hosereels there not,most have plastic spindles which is a con as i reckon they know they won`t last long therefore you`ll have to keep buying them.
