We have a fuel tank behind our storage barn and needed a decent hose and reel to use with it. This one works perfectly for what we need it for. It is super durable and made of good solid materials. It is very well constructed, and my husband loves that it is made of rust-proof material. The nozzle has some great features such as 3 different lock levels when fueling to give you options of how slow or fast the fuel comes out when not manually holding it. It also has a nice cut-off feature just like standard gasoline pumps, so you don't have to worry about spill overs. I love the fact that it doesn't have to be hand cranked to reel the hose back onto the reel when you're done with it. You just pull the hose a little and let it go and the hose winds up without any effort. Since our house is in Indiana, where the weather can be brutally hot in the summer or bitterly cold in the winter, this beefy hose and reel should last for so many years even in the extreme temps that we get.
