Silverline Hose Trolley 45m Capacity 686867

adaptable for a short pipe length, too light

Practical, easy to assemble, robust

It is a good product, offering very reasonable value for money.

Positive: - practical Negatives: - brief assembly instructions (good it's not too hard to assemble) - very average quality (the plastic used is very light and flexible and will not last) - length of hose to put on to review very largely down!

The item is delivered unassembled in a box which was surprinsingly small (a good surprise). It's fairly easy to set up, you don't need any tools in particular, as long as you don't loose the small plastic nail that seals (permanently) the tubes off to the world (it is not designed to be taken apart afterwards). There's an easy mistake to make when setting it up in terms of the roll (which is hollow and is meants to roll the hose up) and the half-axle which is used as a connection, featuring a swivable joint. Be sure to take a while and look through it before permanently connecting anything. There is also a small design flaw: the bend in the tube (the U shape on the bottom) is sure to see its paint scratched, and then rusted off, if left as is. It would have been better with a plastic or rubber protective layer. I threaded a piece of hose over mine before setting it up. Once put together, the product can accomodate a hose that is fairly long, all the while remaining stable and solid when used. It is a very interesting buy, especially at this price.

easy mounting 45 m maybe a lot for a light device
