Russ, do you know the reliability/Longevity of these reels? I have never heard of them (which means nothing) but they look nice and the price is certainly right.
 
is the 1/2 for a garden hose?

They're a new product from one of my vendors. This is the first I've seen of them, too. Wanna be a guinea pig? No matter what it is...someone had to try the first one. From what I see, it follows the design of several manufacturers' "U" channel reels. In fact, i believe they're made by one of the big ones and private labeled.

You could use it for garden hose or 1/2" pressure hose. Another advantage of a 1/2 " reel, even though you use 3/8" hose, the passages in the swivel are larger, reducing sacrificial flow / pressure loss. Use bushings to go from 3/8 to 1/2, then back down on the outlet.
 
Russ another question, I want to link up my two pressure washers. Do you sell the check valves and Y hook up

Also I am looking for a reel that will hold my 3/4garden hose 150ft

The 8.711-190.0 ought to hold 150' of 3/4" hose quite comfortably.

The 2 machine hook up package is $89.16 with stainless 6,500 psi check valves or $79.24 with brass 3,000 psi check valves.

I get my fancy nozzle holders from Home depot.They are called nail bags and cost 88 cents.I buy em 5 at a time.

I can keep all the nozzles and orings I need on my hip with an oring tool.Nothing worse than losing an oring and your around the back side of the house and fence
 
Did anyone ever use the high pressure and hot reel in 3/8" ?
Just curious how this held up over time being used on the high/hot side of the washing.
