Yard Butler HT-2EZ Garden Hose Truck 2-Wheeled

Customer Reviews & Comments
This hose cart is light years beyond those poly hose carts that cost 30 to fifty dollars and last a year or two. I just replaced one that is less that a year old with thes Lewis Steel Hose Cart. The cart is ruggedly built and comes with a high quality leader hose. The metal connections all look and feel substantial. Putting the cart together was a little problematic even though there are few pieces.It took more effort and time to screw on the crank handle than I would have imagined. For some reason the threads just wouldn't mesh or connect. After finally getting the handle on I noticed that the crank was bent inward didn't make a full revolution because it hit the framework after each half turn. A manufacturer's rep, reached using the 800 number provided, was very courteous and suggested I try to bend the handle out manually. She thought it must have been bent inward during transport. Fortunately the handle bending strategy worked and the cart works well. This cart may hold two hundred feet of hose, but it barely contains my two hundred feet of hose. My hoses are 5/8" and heavy. Two hundred feet of cheaper hose will fit on the reel easily. The hose connections are leak free and the crank turns with minimal effort. Despite the assembly problems, I like this cart and would buy it again. Be aware that the pneumatic tires must be inflated.
