i have 2 summit electric hose reels that were used 1 time before i switched them ..... i also have a custom rapid reel with 3/4 plumbing . the rapid reel was taken apart ,dipped to strip all the original coating and powdercoated in nylon (same stuff the medical field uses) this finish is incredibly strong and looks great.... i paid $200 just for coating.. the process cost almost as much as the reel.... rapid reel does not offer this heavy duty reel anymore.... thats why i did this .....i will try to post some pics of the stuff
