Up until a while ago I had one of these reels and they are fantastic, No more dirty hands after rolling up in bad weather, No more wet hands, Brilliant.

Anyway one day I forgot and reversed over it, Broke my heart as then I had to have wet hands dirty hands wear gloves.

Could not find a replacement anywhere, Put it on here nobody knew them, Just found them on web after about 3 days surfing, Contacted company, They will ship to UK just awaiting cost inquiry.

They are very light in weight, I think they must mean the actual strength of the plastic, I had mine for 15 years and it really took some hammer But I suppose a 4 tonne truck was expecting too much.

:lol:

A thought has just occurred to me they are $42.50 Australian dollars each, which is about ÂŁ25 at todays rates I have asked for postage costs, If anyone else wants one say and we may be able to get all shipped together and it will cost less.

If you get a reasonable price, could let me know on this thread, as I never look at my personal messages, should do I know, but i don't. Mind you I'll be in France beginning of May for 2-3 months, using free wifi only, so I may not reply for a while. (alfred.hancock@ntlworld.com will find me)

With the speed they replied to my first email I am expecting a reply tomorrow on cost of shipping, I may just put outdoor bits wise to these as they are brilliant and I think they would do well.

Hi
I would be interested in one of these they look brill but what size cable do they use it looks very light gauge whereas we use 2.5mm, but there if you have already had one then you must know what you are talking of and I am just waffling. 8O
But still interested in one.

Not at all, I stored a heavy duty cable on mine and never had a problem.

Mine was the Multi Reel, I had spare space.

That will do for me then. I should have to be more careful if I get one of those as I have run over 4 of the orange ones this last year I just throw it under the van and forget it and run the van off the ramps and cccccrunch another one bits the dust.

Sorry for the delay, Got an email from the company and they are getting shipping prices.

As soon as I get anything I will post it here.

I might be interested in one of these too! I have a 25 metre cable and hate getting wet and muddy having to pack it away. Have looked at some cables on a reel and they are quite expensive.

I assume this solution allows me to keep the existing cable and just attach it to the reel?

Let me know likely total cost including shipping.

Cheers

Les I would definately let 'Outdoor Bits' know about these as they look like a brilliant product - I especially like the fact you can get empty reels and can make up ones own flat water reel to the length you want, or have two of different lengths, I would probably do the same for the EHU as I have all the cable etc. and qualified in electronics. (Almost the same as electrical :wink: )

It would be much better if a firm in UK took up the distributership, however, if they don't want to then I would club together with you to get one for the EHU and probably one for the water (Maybe two :roll: )

I will watch this thread to see what the postage comes to.

The only problem with talking to Outdoor Bits is the price is bound to shoot through the roof, unless they get a good deal fromt he Australian company.
