How easy or hard is it to pull out and reel in?

I'm still getting used to the best positions to lock it in while I'm using it, but it works better than any other hose reel I've owned.

Good product. I have 120 ft of hose and have little problem pulling it off. Must be mounted real good to work. I used a 2x12.

Actually, very easy. The handle provides easy use and if you unlock the reel so it turns freely, it will adjust to your hose a bit. My advice would be to mount the reel at the correct height for you or whoever is going to use it. It is a lot easier to roll the hose in standing straight up, then bent over.

Not hard, but takes some patience. Work bottom up and don't tighten everything until you're done.

Is very easy. Use both of your fingers to pull it out, you can also adjust it. The first time takes more time but then is very easy.

Very easy. My wife and kids can use the reel. However, there isn't a hose guide, so the hose does need straight with the reel.

Extremely easy. Guiding the rack into the hitch receiver is the hardest part, but after a couple of times, you'll be a pro at it. And it detaches even easier. Be mindful... It's a little heavy, so be prepared for that. Use assistance when you can, to avoid gouging your car with the rack.

Yes fairly easy. I was susrprised at how well it performed. You might have to use two hands but I have "uncle arthur" in my hands and I can use it. Mine isn't too bad though. Hope this helps

It took me a little while to figure out too. Just PULL, don't twist. I had to use something to pry it out the first time because it was set in pretty tight.

Yup, very easy. I just start by getting a top corner loose and pulling it out from there.

Not hard at all. It is a little easier with two people (just to help hold things) but can be done by one person.

If I had to estimate I would say it has a medium pull. It's not overly easy but it isn't too difficult either. Of course it depends on an individuals strength in their hand. It would naturally be more easier for some than others. Hope this helps!

Yes it is easy to pull. I have used it to get groceries and went 8 miles with it. 4 miles empty and full load on the way back and there was no difference in pulling it.

I find it easy, easier than my old staple gun. I really couldn't say if you would find it difficult.

Yes the string is easy enough to pull and quite robust. The only weak point is the plastic of the center bit. So I would avoid anything with too much resistance, such as chocolate or fats. We use it every day got about two years use out of it before we had to get a new one.

I don't have any problems pulling them out. This is my only water belt I've ever owned, so I don't know if this one is easier or harder than others, but I don't have any issues with it.

A good old fashioned closed reel is perfect for someone new. My 10 year old son learned with a plain zebco and did very well. I hope that helps.

Very easy.....turn off your water supply, disconnect the hose and pull the "pin" that it swivels on. You may need to rock the unit a bit to pull the pin/pipe out. The hose and reel should be stored inside.

It's not hard to do. It's requires a slight adjustment on the back of the unit which can be done with a pole or end of a broom. When filled with water this unit is very heavy and hard to move.
