The 2in1 Compact Reel is exceptionally well designed. Easy Rewind (patent pending); Free Standing or Wall Mounted Reel with garden hose and fittings included - you choose how you want to use, it can be used either attached to a wall or just standing in your garden. It comes as a fully enclosed reel and 25m of hosepipe with all the fittings to get you started. The unique locking wall brackets enable the Hozelock 2in1 Compact Reel to be quickly and easily fixed to the wall. There is no need to unwind the whole hose every time as an innovative 'Thru-Flow' system allows water to flow through the hose while it is on the reel. Traditional hose reels need you to unwind the entire hose or water will not flow, the Hozelock 2in1 Compact Reel does not, with 'Thru-Flow' making watering your garden effortless. Additionally you get a 'Waterstop Connector' which attaches the main hosepipe to the accessory or tool being used, be it a spray gun, a lawn sprinkler or a brush. This innovative connector actually allows you to change the accessory or tool you want to use without having to turn the water supply off first. No more trekking back to the tap and no getting wet when changing the tool, just change the tool as you need to, it's as simple as that. There is a folding carrying handle for easy portability around the garden, the reel is designed for stability to make unwinding easy and simple and a self-layering system when you rewind ensures the hose is stored tidily and smoothly, all you have to do is turn the handle and the hose rewinds neatly onto the reel, with no need for manual guidance and no more dirty hands.
