This review is from: Yard Butler HT-2EZ 2-Wheeled Garden Hose Truck with 200-Foot Hose Capacity (Lawn & Patio)

We have had several hose trucks/hose reels over the years. We like this one better than most. The connection point where the garden hose connects to the reel is one of the best I have seen. It allows for smooth curling of the hose around the reel without kinking or bending the hose. There are two things I would do differently if I designed the truck. The front of the hose truck has "U" shaped metal tubing that rests on the surface to help stableize the unit. This is not a good design because it allows contact with the surface which will wear the paint off the metal and cause the metal to rust. Ruber bumpers would help with that problem. The wheels are mounted using nuts and bolts through some thin metal tubing. If the cart is moved much at all this will be a weak spot. Thicker tubing and a solid rod from one wheel to the other would solve the problem.

4.0 out of 5 stars No More Poly Carts. It's Steel For Me., April 3, 2009

This review is from: Yard Butler HT-2EZ 2-Wheeled Garden Hose Truck with 200-Foot Hose Capacity (Lawn & Patio)

This hose cart is light years beyond those poly hose carts that cost 30 to fifty dollars and last a year or two. I just replaced one that is less that a year old with thes Lewis Steel Hose Cart.
The cart is ruggedly built and comes with a high quality leader hose. The metal connections all look and feel substantial.

Putting the cart together was a little problematic even though there are few pieces.It took more effort and time to screw on the crank handle than I would have imagined. For some reason the threads just wouldn't mesh or connect. After finally getting the handle on I noticed that the crank was bent inward didn't make a full revolution because it hit the framework after each half turn.

A manufacturer's rep, reached using the 800 number provided, was very courteous and suggested I try to bend the handle out manually. She thought it must have been bent inward during transport. Fortunately the handle bending strategy worked and the cart works well.

This cart may hold two hundred feet of hose, but it barely contains my two hundred feet of hose. My hoses are 5/8" and heavy. Two hundred feet of cheaper hose will fit on the reel easily.

The hose connections are leak free and the crank turns with minimal effort. Despite the assembly problems, I like this cart and would buy it again.
Be aware that the pneumatic tires must be inflated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, April 8, 2009

I am glad I read the reviews before I started to assemble the cart. I too had a difficult time threading the handle. The crank was also bent inward and wouldn't allow a full revolution. I did bend it back manually; but that was no easy task. Considering the force it took to bend it, I doubt this happened during transportation.
Now that it is ready to go, I love it. The work was worth it.
