    Another good find 'theearth'

  • danielh on 17/12/2013 - 19:03

    Weird, can't seem to find it on the Repco site.

      2068 these will be custom made for water tycoons who have access to water.

  • kwaker on 17/12/2013 - 19:11

    Great. I saw one at the reject shop today for $40 was thinking about it. This is $1 better!

    I bought this exact hose reel from repco for $59 I think.

    I am onto my third one and its busted too. The first one went back because the housing was cracked when I unboxed it (maybe just unlucky?) the 2nd and 3rd (current) one have both had the same problem.. After a few weeks use the locking mechanism turned to shit and will auto rewind itself all the time. Very annoying.. I don't think these are well made.

      Looking at buying auto reel hose, seem like they are hit and miss, hozelock seems to be the brand of choice

        I really liked the one or two weeks of good auto reel hose I got out of these.. I think hose reels are one thing you can't really cheap out on. The manual for this strangely comes with a full diagram of every part and its a lot more complex than you would think.

      I have one too. The locking mechanism is really bad, can't lock at all after a few weeks use. I have to use a big clip to clip onto the hose so that it can't auto rewind.

  • pistachio1 on 17/12/2013 - 20:59

    Diddo

  • madturbo123 on 17/12/2013 - 21:15

    Damn I was really keen on getting some. Been waiting for a retractable water hose for a couple of months now, guess I'll have to wait for hozelock.

  • Abbycat on 17/12/2013 - 21:17

    What's the quality of the hose like? Is it going to be one of those ones that kink up all the time?

    • Speckled Jim on 18/12/2013 - 11:28

      Even if it's a cheap hose, it's less likely to kink if you rewind after each use. It's protected from the sun and the large diameter of the reel means a consistent gentle curve — not a crush.

    I actually have two of these exact ones in my garden. Bought them last year at $59. having had them for over 12 months I am actually very happy with them. My only issue has been the hose connector on one of them cracked about a week ago. Anyhow, ill be going back and getting a few more of these puppies at this price and have one on every hose in the garden. Thanks for the post.

  • treeman on 17/12/2013 - 21:57

    Will these work for the hoselink?

    • llama on 17/12/2013 - 22:27

      If you change the connectors, then yes.

  • widzz on 18/12/2013 - 11:15

    which better quality compared to bunnings one https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/126426 ?

  • AdrianL on 18/12/2013 - 16:14

    If you want something that is actually a quality product and doesn't break within a year or two:
    http://www.onlinehosereels.com.au/catalog/index.php?cPath=12…

    Yes, it costs $189. It depends if you value your sanity I guess… This one really rewinds well, it doesn't fall to bits, the mechanism is strong. The hose is quality. It's made in Australia.

    • Speckled Jim on 18/12/2013 - 16:33

      It's great but I can't afford it right now. I've ordered this:
      http://www.bunnings.com.au/aqua-systems-20m-hose-reel_p3130415

      Yes, it costs $10 lol. I intend to get a cheap plastic crate (sacrificial) and cover it when not in use. The plastic on this reel looks very recycled and I'm betting it will crumble after a year of UV exposure.

      In my shitty case, the backyard tap is on an east-facing wall so a $5 crate protecting a $50 hose is worth it.

  • madturbo123 on 18/12/2013 - 18:06

    If ur in brisbane I have a guillotine and folder, if ur keen on fabricating a cover for it :)

    • Speckled Jim on 18/12/2013 - 18:22

      Thanks mate, but I'm in Tassie. And believe it or not, we get many extreme UV days here!

    Offer started this morning. "aparantly sold out" in less than 20 minutes, though no cars outside shop. I wonder how many they had…

    • megadeth on 19/12/2013 - 14:56

      Appears to be a customer-hooking bait. I went to three different stores in NSW and they were all sold out before 12:00pm. The petrol burned on visiting the stores alone was worth more than the offered discount. Neg from me.

  • maybeamacy on 19/12/2013 - 12:38

    Mine had 5 when I went in at 8:30 but the shop was a really small one. I assume larger stores have more stock?

  • kzrocky on 19/12/2013 - 21:14

    This WAS a great bargain.
    I did not plus it until now because I knew the stores would be inundated with ozbargainers.

    I bought 2 this morning at Repco Moorabbin, got there at 9:3OAM.
    Of the 28 in stock, 4 were left.

    Mine twisted and got stuck after two minutes of use. I'll return it tomorrow. Total garbage.
