Giraffe Tools Retractable Garden Hose Reel 1/2 Inch x 130 ft, Super Heavy Duty, Any Length Lock, Slow Return System, Wall Mounted and 180 Deg Swivel Bracket

Love this purchase. I wish they had an option with a metal post to purchase for installation. For the price I also wish a metal mounting piece came with. It is available for purchase separately. I currently don’t need it. You do need a 4 x 6 post to install. I installed on a fence post and added a second 4 x 4 that I already had. This is 125ft and reaches my back fence. No regrets.

One of the highest rated brands for a retractable water hose on Amazon, Home Depot, Google, etc. My mom has been wanting one of these for forever for her plants and garden. The price was decent, and it came super quick. LOVE!!!

Overall, I like it.Mounting on a 4X4 was fine but you're going to have to angle the included lag screws in a bit--the bracket's made more for mounting on a 6X6 OR mounting to an existing wall. That being said, the 4X4 worked just fine and is plenty sturdy. Took me about 5 minute total to mount it.I wanted a longer one, but opted for the 100' because of the metal bracket. Once I got my hands on the bracket I realized plastic would have been okay since the "metal" bracket is either cheap pot metal or, possibly, aluminum. Works fine but doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in how long it'll last.Make sure you've got some teflon tape on hand for the connections--despite being brass, they're not at all tight but with a four or five wraps of teflon tape, they seal up nicely.The unwind/rewind mechanism take just a few minutes to get used to. Getting the hose to lock into place when you pull it out is sort of hit and miss, but you get the hang of it quickly. REwinding, on the other hand, is a breeze and WAY better than having to crank a hose reel. I let it re-wind through my hand so there's no grass getting into the mechanism.My only complaint is the nozzle which is complete junk. I swapped it out for a Craftsman nozzle and it works very well.

I’m loving this 130 ft unit. The length meets my needs. So far functionality is excellent and works as expected for the areas I needed this for. It retracts and swivels with ease. Feels very sturdy and locks in place nicely when you’re done with the hose. I did have to hire a handyman to attached to the masonry of my home and it looks pretty impressive.

This is hands down a must have!! Easy to install & easy to use! There are no excuses why your flowers are not being watered! Once this product is installed you are able to unreel the hose and lock the hose in place. To retract the hose you can pull the hose out a foot and the reel will do the work of wrapping the hose up. I usually help guide the hose back. The reel can swivel 180 degrees. Making it easy to go in which ever direction you need.

I had a problem with one of their retractable hoses and wrote the company, provided the information they asked for and they sent me a replacement. Their customer service was fast and excellent. I would buy from this vendor again without hesitation

So I actually bought this hose 3 years ago and it has sat in our garage unused until a few weeks ago. 😅 I was so excited to finally install it and I’m a bit disappointed. Everything leaks, bad. The connection to the spigot and the sprayer both leak so much water that I have to make sure I’m not wearing good clothes or shoes because it’s guaranteed I will get soaked. I’ve tried loosening and tightening and nothing works. If I would have actually installed it when I bought it 3 years ago, I would have returned it because it’s a lot to spend on a leaky hose. I will say that the mechanisms work well so far and it’s been a lot more convenient than a regular hose.

An internal plastic part broke.I'm going to revise this review. The company contacted me through Amazon and offered to refund my purchase, which gives the customer service 5 stars. I'm changing my review of the product from 1 star to 4 stars. In reading the reviews, I'm seeing a lot of breakage of the two internal plastic parts. This could be due to leaving it out for the winter. I took mine into the basement, so freezing wasn't the problem; however, the one "T" piece broke. The internal parts need to be brass. It would help a lot. Otherwise, it works pretty well. We used it for an entire season last year.
