I know this is an old thread but reading your post talking about your
junk plastic reel was my story too. Because of your advice I went to
Triton's site and saw their reel. With their description and pictures
and your glowing endorsement I bought one.

It arrived today and is now assembled. Ed, I have to take exception
to your statement of "good quality." What you should have said is
"excellent quality." As with you, this reel will probably last me the
rest of my life.


I managed to catch mine with the bumper of my car as I backed out of my
garage and pulled the reel off its axle. Broke the damned thing!

I ordered a replacement axle and was delighted to see they sent me a
free one, even though I had caused the damage and there was no defect
attributable to them. It came quick, too.

I can't say enough good things about the Triton reel. The only thing I
changed on mine from stock was the handle to one that didn't stick out
quite so far. My garage is a little tight.

When you buy something cheap, the only time you're really happy with it
is when you pay for it. But buy quality, and you'll enjoy it every time
you use it. Triton is quality.
