Title: doesn't work well
Product review: It looks quality. The problem is, it has a hard time rewinding the last 5-10 feet. I've tried tensioning the mechanism but to no avail. The last 5-10 feet, depending, engage the stop mechanism, so you have to keep pulling it out, feeding it back in (like a seatbelt that engages and is hard to retract). For $300, that's not acceptable. I've had it in my shop for over a month. It was properly installed and was mounted right beside a Coxreels hose reel, which works great. Fortunately, Amazon has a great return policy, so I'm sending it back and just ordered a Coxreels cord reel. It's $100 more, but with the time I've wasted trying to feed the Reelcrap back in, I'll be satisfied in the long run. I emailed Reelcraft about the issue but didn't hear back. The other thing I like about Coxreels is that EVERYTHING they make is made in the USA. Some of Reelcraft's stuff is made in China. There you have it.
