Liberty Retractable Garden Hose Reel

This thing is VERY cheaply made, with thin, minimal plastic. The hose is also really thin and cheap, with fragile fittings. If you need to use a wrench to tighten them, then do it slowly and carefully because you can crush or warp the fittings very easily. The two biggest corners that were cut are 1. The lack of rubber seals for the fittings, so they may leak unless you have some spares. 2. No masonry screws or washers included for installing. You will need to provide your own 1/4" x 2" masonry bits and washers. Almost all other retractable hose reels provide these items for a reason. If you don't already have them, you will spend more than buying a better unit. I would have sent this back if I didn't already have these items. At least this is designed to be quickly unhooked and stored for winter with a single pivot point. I would highly recommend doing so to maximize the useful life of this thing. It's both cheap, and cheaply made. It doesn't include useful items that most competitors include. It won't survive any rough handling or extreme weather conditions like cold winters or direct sunlight for weeks on end in hot summers. However, if you have the extras I mentioned above, and install it in a shaded spot for spring/summer use then put it away for fall/winter, it's worth it's price. It's lightweight (because it's so cheap, lol), and includes a handle area for removing and installing. On a side note, it also does not include any kind of nozzle. Again, almost all retractable hose reels include one.
