I’ve had an Eley hose
I’ve had an Eley hose reel for over 15 years. It gets used at least 4-5 times a week. It is well constructed, does not leak at the spindle connection, sits out in all kinds of weather, and looks as good as new. I’ve recommended it to a friend who owns a horse farm and finally replaced his cheap plastic ones from the box stores as they self destructed. They get “abused” there to no effect.
