Hi thanks for your video, I just spent weeks ordering parts and a bunch of time taking it apart and drilling out the hole big enough to fit the hose in and after all that it leaks like crazy from the fitting that came with the hose reel, the part where you said there two pressure fittings, it is spraying hard and lots of water leaking, I feel like I have just wasted a bunch of money and time and want to dump this reel in the garbage, this my last ditch attempt, but is there anyway to fix the leak on the fitting or should I just throw it away? Any info would be appreciated thank you

Have you tried this on a “Quad Pod” hose reel such as the one from Goodyear? I am thinking it would be great for added length when your stationary reel is not long enough… simply carry the Quad Pod to the end of the line and you have another 100 feet available. I ask because the fittings are different. Thanks

If you want retention, add the labels to different sections and maybe even show a 3-to-5-second-long breakdown/schedule at the beginning of the video. That way, people can get what they came for. Sometimes people make LOOONG videos with a bunch of unnecessary riffraff that ends up being a waste of time. There's SO MUCH content out there that you have to sift through to find what you're looking for. If you let people know what to expect, they'll probably keep coming back.
