Too thick, too sweaty and they get trapped in the sections when you are shortening the pole.

Id like to add fixed metal hose reels, as nice as they look and feel, when you pull the hose off at a certain angle it gets caught in the groove, highly annoying and they go tight and the centre breaks...

Free standing hose reels for me from now on. I know someone whos got two plastic ones, cost him £15 a reel, both with 100m microbore and they fantastic, never had any probs with them! Ive got a metal one in bits worst £50 i ever spent times 2

Have to agree with this. I have 2 x Hozelock reels with 100m of microbore on and they perform very well and are light to lift. If you have to go to a metal reel it is best to spend a bit more and get a quality reel that will last.

Most useless items I have sold on. The most useless piece of equipment that I have and have not sold on (yet) are two stainless steel goosenecks that I have never used. I bought them off of a mate 5 years ago and couldn't fit them to a pole as they were just too heavy. I am thinking of fixing them to my garage wall and hanging my bike on them!

Thinking back they were £70...faints

I don't own anything useless these days (well apart from a sill brush). I suppose the most useless items were a glassfibre extel pole I had and even worse an extender pole.

i have got to say its a 40ft pro 10 internal pole, i have only used it a few times the results where poor it is awkward to use and the worst bit about it was it cost £2000

40 foot Ionics Glass Fibre Universal Pole. Left it in the Pipe Carrier, about 8 months ago, not used it since!!

I probably should put it on ebay for a fiver Prob too much hassle getting it posted, might just take it down the dump - all its good for imo

Plastic/aluminium hozelok all the way, 5 years on & still work perfect! I think these mega-buck metal things are victim of the usual wfp over-hype!!

'Slip & slide' bought off the internet. Too light, used a couple times and retired to the shed never to see daylight again.

[marc]

The hard bristle vikan sill brush. I origonaly got it when i started wfp to use on facias and conservatory roofs. Used it once as a brush, never again. The only use i have found for it was to splater wet cement at the walls of the house when patching in the teroline finish it was very effective for that.
