I have been using the reels for a while now. I like how it keeps my cords neat, and it's much easier to use than the orange plastic reels I was using before I received my maintenance reel. It even works if you are left handed

(I'm left handed)
I really appreciated it when my EAA chapter put on a Drone / R/C aircraft expo. I was able to run both cables in the amount of time that it took others to run one. Cleanly retrieving my cords with the reels were fast and enjoyable as I watched others wind their cables the 'old school' way.
As you can see by the picture, I gave up on the cable in the back since it was a long day and I was more than ready to head home. I need to get 4 more.
I did try the reel with a 50 foot 1/2" rubber air hose and it didn't work too well. Smaller hose should work fine.
