12 1/2 and one small mark !!!
What a funny guy.
He has no filter, he’ll tell you like it is.
Fantastic person!!!!
Pete, I will share an "old Indian trick" from Texas country boy. After you dig your hole and set the post, fill the hole about half full of water and "slowly" pour your dry concrete into the hole. That technique is used by most of the highway departments, and the roadside signs stay in place for years and years. It saves a lot of needless mixing and mess to clean up. Nice hose reel. Blessings to you brother.
Great tip. Learned how to do that from my father when I was young. Saved me countless effort and time through the years.
Pete,
One of many things I admire about you is you honesty, integrity and candor.
Not once have you presented a tool or piece of equipment without letting viewers know that whatever you bought and paid for with your own money and that you are not beholding to a distributor on manufacturer for giving you something for an endorsement.
Can’t buy Pete!!
So nice to still find someone putting the Lord first in everything. I just stumbled across your video while shopping for ideas on getting a new hose reel for the front of my house. I saw your shirt & watched your video & listened to you using gosh and darn & subscribed & smashed that bell right away.
I so miss seeing & hearing people unashamed of their walk.
We always say “how’s your AC”- then you say “PRAISE THE LORD!”
Thanks so much for supplying us with good quality content with clean content as well. I’m telling all my family about you Sir…
Pete, your videos are still as good and interesting as they were when I first discovered you 2+ years ago. Much respect for your honesty and keeping your content genuine for your viewers. You are one of a few that kept content non sales driven. Thanks for 2 years of great, honest content.
I appreciate you friend. Thanks
Pete - I purchased one of these last year and it is a dream of a reel! Rock solid, durable, smoooooooth as butter when you roll it up or take it out 😎 100% endorsed by the Accountant 👍
What they call I would love to have 1 pls
Honestly, you just gained even more credibility with me. Eley hoses are the best hoses I have used. I bought several hoses before getting an Eley and now I look around at all the others I have and think, man I wish I had bought the Eley in the first place. All these other hoses are useless.
From now on every time I see Pete's notifications I'll make sure that I got my socks on before I click on the video.
Eley hose reels rock. We have four of them. Their quick connects for hoses are legit as well. I highly recommend both. GCI and Eley...both quality companies.
I love your shirt! It’s nice to watch someone on RUclips that doesn’t cuss every breath!
What about Allah?
@@georgejetson4378 Allah cusses in a video?? Shame!
Eley is the best. Mine is still going strong after ten years.
Pete you just gave me the greatest idea on this reel that I wasn't sure which one to get. Folks spend the extra bucks it will pay off in the long run. If you buy cheap it will cost you more later trust me
Hey Pete, I have been an Eley guy for many years now. Will never use anyone else’s product now that I know how good this stuff can actually be made. Quick tip on the spray nozzle... If you notice that at the nozzle it drips as it sprays the water, that means there is not enough pressure and you need to go down to a disk that restricts the flow a bit more. That is why they include a few options. Once you find the right one, it will stop that annoying drip from running down the nozzle onto your hand or glove. Hope that helps.
I own an Eley hose reel and hose. I highly recommend both. The reel is 100X's better than the plastic reels I used previously.
I wish you were my neighbor, we would be great friends, we share the same values, and it looks like we both love Jesus too. Great video Pete awesome job!
She trying to hit
😂 "" If I was a root, I wouldn't want to grow in that either!" 😆
Pete that hose reel looks great and your hoses will not get kinked up anymore. I’ve learned that you and I are alike being honest. I’m the same way honesty is great business.
I just ordered my Eley hose reel kit. Thank you for highlighting this product. I really appreciate your content.
Thanks for helping us DIYers Pete! I just retired, relocated into our new home and so excited to focus on my lawn with the “time” I’ve never had available. Your product endorsements are much appreciated with the lack of quality / performance from most products available at big box stores. In my opinion, “if Pete says it’s so, it’s legit.” My in-ground post is all ready and waiting on my reel to arrive.
Have an Eley for more than 5 years and definitely the best there is. Tested in rugged canadian conditions!
I've got two units. First one ordered from Canada, second one ordered and delivered to Texas. Friends were going there and brought it back in a suitcase. They stopped shipping to Canada and no one sold it here. Best ones I've ever used.
Paved driveways for 20 years, 20 years of fiddling with customer's hose reels. Never came across any that weren't a hassle, then again, never came across anything this hardcore! I hope it works well for you.
I purchased an Eley reel 2 years ago, since then I have purchased (3)! Once you own a Eley Reel you will NEVER use anything else!! Best in the business...
Really nice system and great how-to coverage. Question: is there a cover to hide the connection parts, yet hero the crank exposed. Thank you.
It was this video that got me to dive into Eley products. Thanks Pete... You and your family motivate us all.
This is why I watch your channel and can be confident that if you say something is good it's damn good. Everything I've bought from your suggestions have been top notch.
Pete, found Eley 3-4 years ago, was hesitant at first to spend that kind of money on a hose reel but can honestly say they're worth every last cent. I fully expect mine to last for years and years (read 15-20+). You should look at their quick connect adapters so you can quickly switch from that sprayer to a wand to a Big Sled sprinkler.
Thats awesome Pete. I was getting ready to buy one and just hadnt pulled the trigger. I was also getting ready to say your pick wasnt the best until I saw you picked the Eley..... I will be buying tonight. Thanks Pete.
I already did buy their quick connect setups AND there shut off valves ( specifically I bought the 'garden hose ball valve swivel). Which are all AMAZING! They are full flow so the inside diameter is VERY large. Much larger than the other high quality quick connects that I use which are made by Dramm. The Eley products are super quality all the way around.
I highly suggest you try the quick connects and shut off valve if you havent already (I havent watched the full video).
Just a tip on metal tools like that manual post hole digger, spray good old fashioned Wd40 on it and let it dry. I bet the dirt won't stick as much. That's what I have to do with snow shovels up north and worksnlike a charm. Great video. Thanks for sharing it.
Pete, spray your post hole digger with wd-40 before you dig and the mud will come off easier! We have the black gumbo mud and it works on that so I bet it will work on red clay too.
I see a GCI video and I hit the like button 2 seconds in. That's life lol
Only Pete could talk for 17 minutes about mounting a single 4x4 post 😂😂😂. Keep up the good work brother !! God Bless
Any other masons anxiety going nuts looking at that paver side walk!😡😂 but awsome work man keep it up. Love these little fixes that make a person's life so much easier.
I put my Eley post mount reel together today. You're right about how easy it is to assemble. Unfortunately for me, I have absolutely ZERO mechanical aptitude and it took me all day with occasional Motrin breaks. It's a great reel. I especially like the feel of all the nuts. They screw in easily.
You will not regret that Eley Pete. I bought one for the front of my house 5 years ago. I got tired of the big box models and have been through countless ones. Like most quality, it costs up front but way worth it in the long run. I have had zero problems with it. The vinyl covers they use are subpar though. They fade quick. They sent me a replacement for free that also did the same. I tried like heck to talk them into making them out of Sunbrella material. It would be worth it. I still use though to protect my hose. Just my 2 cents brother.
Thanks Pete for the honest review- how many feet of hose do you have on that bad boy? I need about 200' to get to my edge of my property and wanted to know if it will hold that much?
When you measured "twelve and a half and one small mark.." I had to like and subscribe! I measure that way too!!!!!
I’ve been wanting one for about three years now. Thanks for the detailed video.
Watched your video am impressed with your work you had a plan and when you got done it payed off. Good job. Well done.
I just like this guy. Enough that I buy off his website and aspire to have a lawn 1/10 as good as his.
Pete do you still feel this is the best hose reel? Need to get one for the spring.
Hey Pete. I understand the Eley hose has a 5/8” ID. Have you noticed if you have plenty of gpm and psi at the end of all that hose?
Nice work Pete. A 4x4 post cap would be the cherry on top, not just for looks but
for wood protection. ~ mike
Just a heads up, you can adjust that brake so that the reel will allow you to pull hose out, without the reel spinning too freely. That way when you stop pulling, the reel stops. Instead of momentum making the reel keep spinning and letting out extra hose... love my Eley..
I must know PLEASE? Where ever did you get that hose end sprayer that has such good pressure. Please do tell?
Looking to fix this same problem. Your video really gave me great information. Thank you. San Diego.
Looks good Pete! It would be nice if they make a removable cover to go over it so the sun doesn’t deteriorate the hose over time. We all know that’s the enemy to most things. I like it but what is the hose made of? I currently run the rubber Goodyear hose from the orange store. I keep it out of the sun and they look great even after 6yrs.
Side note... in the winter time or right before, I blow my hose completely out with air. The reason is if you have a fire in the winter and need the hose, but left water in it, it will be frozen and useable.
Stay safe
God been blessing me so much I don’t even own socks anymore! My day was great hope yours has been as well! Fantastic video... one of those things often over looked.
I’ve been wanting one for about two years now. Thanks for the detailed video, I’m definitely pulling the plug and getting one. Keep it up Pete!
First Aussie 😁. I have (2) 25 metre hi flow Hoselink hose reels with patented no burst hose connections . Aussie 🇦🇺product available in the USA. Great hosereels. Worth a look at. Another great honest video Pete. 😎👍👍
Had mine for years. They’re expensive and worth every penny.
Love my Eley reel, hoses, quick disconnects, and all their nozzles!!! Worth every penny!!!
HI James , Good video ! Have you had any issues with the hose getting fouled up or kinked or does it "play" in and out without problems ?
BTW, how much did you pay for the Hose Reel ? Blessings.
How did this hose reel hold up? It’s crazy expensive but if it lasts I pick it up.
In the fire service we call looping the hose back and forth like you did to reduce the strain on the reel, Flaking the hose.

PS, Nice install job !!!
Add that quikcrete mix dry to the hole, square it up and dump a bucket of water on top.. save you some time!
Where'd you get that mixing stick for the drill?
That's OK. I've been doing it for 23 years.
I didn't catch the brand/type of hose you use. Can you tell me?
Depends on your tape. Some come in 16ths and some come in 32nds. So it'd either be 12 and ¹⁷/³²" or 12 and ⁹/¹⁶".
Bag a quikcrete dumped into the whole, backfill and tamp; No need to mix or wait for the concrete mix to harden. Plenty of moisture in the ground to get the concrete to harden. I’ve done many fence post this same way and never had an issue 👍🏽
Put one of those reels on my parents house about a decade ago. Still going strong. The only thing I will say is that we mounted it on the shady side of the house to keep the sun off the hose. It is the last hose reel you will buy.
My dad has an old rapid reel (what eley used to be sold under long ago) thats like 12 years old. I just bought my first wall mount reel for my house. They are well built. I like your setup Pete. I might have to buy that nozzle. Looks stout and good quality. (I'm still enjoying my big sprinkler from last year per your reccomendation also)
Gotta set up everything on quick disconnects! Love Eley!
Pete I used your link for the hose reel but didn't get the 5% off. Also didn't see anything about post mounting hardware to add to the order. Does it come with it automatically?
Wow! I have been looking for the perfect hose reel for 10 years. Thank you for posting!
I absolutely love mine. I bought one for my shop as well!
I think I might just have found the hose sprayer I’ve wanted. PLEASE send me information (preferably a website link) so I can find out about your part. Did it come with different spray discs or were they extra? Thanks
I love this reel. Everything about it is solid and well made.
Is that discount offer still good? I tried it but it didn't seem to work.
Hey Pete... if you want the post to last as long as the reel, cut the top at enough angle to shed rain. Or maybe a nice copper cap from the hardware store would fit your fine landscaping better. haha
Are we thinking 12 and 5/8? Or are his eye good enough to read a 1/16th?
How is it holding up over time?
Just got a few ZeroG hoses. Wonder if they would work very well or not on a hose reel like this? Haven’t used them on a reel. Been debating about getting this same reel for a couple years lol. Heard nothing but good things about them.
We got that storm up here in MD as well, but it took until dinner for it to be gone! Great product, I actually ordered one before seeing this video.
I've had 2 of these for years. They are the best.
I found your channel while I was just wondering around RUclips and I am so glad that I did. I have been looking for a really nice strong hose reel and this one should work out for me just fine. But how many feet of hose do you use and what’s the max length the hose reel will safety handle? I may have to have two reels because I use over 450 - 500 feet of 3/4” diameter hose. As you most likely know the longer the hose the pressure drops accordingly. I split my hoses between my front and rear of my property. BTW I did subscribe because I won’t purchase anything that will not last I would rather do without than to waste my money on something that’s only going to last a couple of years. You did a very good job installing it also. Thank You
What do you use for hose manifold?
I liked following you along on a project. It would be nice to see more videos like this if your up for it.
I totally agree with you about buying quality. As my wife said “Buy once, cry once.”
I've been wanting one of these forever. Finally decided to pull the trigger this year. Thanks for the code and God Bless.
For the open hole when you remove your rollers part of the corner guard insert an OXO reusable wine cork/bottle cork. The red one is easiest to find under mulch or your favorite sports teams color etc will work too. Pops in and pops out easily and can handle the hot cold temperatures. Or you can use one of those rubber corks with a hole in it and attach a “bolt through it for a handle. May cost more depending on the area.
22:13 You answered the only question I had. I need to come straight off the house.
Great looking product and something I've always got an eye for, having two cheapos already.
Thanks.
Thank you telling the truth. I enjoy watching your videos
Hope you installed an air blow out to purge the hose of water whenever it gets near freezing.
Try adding some foam disposable ear plugs to stuff into those hose guides. The work perfectly for that!
Great idea 💡
Just started following. Very wholesome and educational.
The more videos u make, reminds that spring is around the corner! Damn it I am loving the full time Pete!
BTW Pete I want that sweatshirt! U know I have sent u emails about it lol
Thank you for the videos Pete. It's winter here in cool-season territory. Your yard videos are keeping me sane until Spring.
Be thankful you have that ground and not 60% rocks like we have in Northeast Tennessee lol
Just came across your Channel today. I was interested and seeing the hose reel you were going to reboot. I did not know where you were located, but as soon as you augured that Red Dirt out of the hole, I said this guy's got to be in North Carolina. Have you ever tried using the foam to set a post? So much easier than dealing with the concrete mixture. No extra tools needed and just as secure as concrete. Enjoyed your comments and your review.
Pete.....,You are the Man!..Thank you sir
Be nice to have a 2/3 Stage Hose Reel that you can choose which Hose you want to Extend & Recoil, and keep fluidity!
Great video. I noticed you appear very close to buried utility lines. Here, we have to have a “mark out” by the utility companies before you dig. If we cut a line without a mark out, the cost of repair is on me. If marked, it is on the utility. Shocking sometimes, where those lines are run.
If you have to go around corners get the guide hooks that go in the ground. I can easily walk all the way around my house with no snags…the Eley reel is not cheap but worth every penny.
Glad to see you using this Pete. Check out their high flow hose disconnects if you haven't yet. They are the best in the business!
I could destroy an anvil with a Q-tip but my Eley hose reel still works great! I love them.
You could destroy an anvil with a hot dog bun 😉
Thanks Pete, just purchased the spray nozzle gun. Happy to pay for quality. Wishing you well from Australia 🇦🇺
I assume you had located all the buried utilities? So much in the ground these days. My luck I would hit something!
Favorite lawn RUclips channel !! You inspire me thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for the great video. I have 3 Eley hose reels, two on carts and one wall mount. I didn't know they made the wood post mount kit. I just ordered one from the Eley website after seeing your video.
As wet as the soil is, you could have put dry concrete in the hole and it would have pulled moisture from the soil. Looks like a great solution.
25:00 place a piece of duck tape over that hole when not in use... or carve down a piece of cork..
Where do they sell those corner guards ?
Just subscribed. I'm in Coats (half way between Raleigh and Fayetteville), and it's nice to see local education for lawns.
Looks very nice Pete. 12 and 9/16 inches :)
No No.. 12 and a half and one small mark, Proper terminology.
