We had a metal garden hose reel with spool and handle for at least 20 years. It broke, and now all we can find is this $40-125 PLASTIC hose reels that cost more than they are worth, don't last, and are plastic so hard to fully recycle and not just dump in a landfill !! What is going on ??
Someone can make a $$$$$ MILLION DOLLARS, inventing/manufacturing a simple-design, reliable METAL garden hose reel with spool and handle !!
