Your ability to improvise with the metal bur was amazing!!!

[@housewashing5693]

I get lucky sometimes.

[@georgea6403]

I also thought so. But leaving the burr on would’ve acted like a lock washer maybe

[@chrisangell5241]

Glad to see you building again kenny. This is why we’re here!

[@housewashing5693]

Thanks for watching my struggle!!

[@bksoftwash1262]

Good seeing you again! Another great video! Thanks for taking us with you through your journey!

[@housewashing5693]

It's always a bumpy ride!

[@josephcoreno2894]

You never seem to amaze me. Haha great work. Brilliant 👏 Been a fan since you started. Can you help me set my reels up? Not physically lol as I'm in south Carolina 🤣. I woke up for a sec and started watching this and now Its almost 4 . Have to get back to bed have to work at 730. Lol thank you so much for your time.

[@housewashing5693]

I can try to help you. Whatcha got going on?

[@littlespressurewashing]

GREAT JOB AND GREAT INGENUITY MY FRIEND, I THINK YOUR ON TO SOMETHING MAN AND THESE COULD MAKE GOOD KITS TO SELL IF YOU COULD MAKE IT A NO BRAINER FOR ANYONE TO HOOK UP AS FAR AS SIZE AND LENGTH WISE. AMAZING JOB

[@housewashing5693]

Nobody wants any of my "Farmboy" ideas. Thanks for the nice comment!

[@sundown798]

The Summit reels I have are definitely slower but have enough torque to pull you over the reel lol. Definitely overkill. I like your belt design alot and would be cool to have a idler clutch lever to engage and disengage the belt. Pulling the lines on the chain reels have alot of drag vs the hand reels. You're definitely on to something the industry needs! Well done:)

[@housewashing5693]

True. Thanks for the comment

[@extremelasermel]

Nice DIY love your video from Australia 🇦🇺

[@housewashing5693]

I need to metal detect your goldfields there. But it looks like the Mosquitos eat men alive there?

[@wehttamgtrekce]

From one MacGyver to another, great job! I kept call out to you during the video, “forget the springs, use a bolt.” I wouldn’t cut off the excess hung. It’s good leverage should you need in the future. Thank you for all the extra effort videotaping takes. Love your channel!

[@housewashing5693]

LOL. Yeah, you think of things you should have done once finished. But it is what it is.

that's just a tad faster than the hannay's that i have. good job on the build

[@housewashing5693]

Thanks for the info

[@TEKKKNO]

I made one using wiper motor not bad at all it's hard to deep drop in regular reel

[@housewashing5693]

Cool

[@yanislav16]

I have 3 electric reels on my rig, yours is definitely faster than commercial ones.

[@housewashing5693]

I love them. What a time and arm saver!

[@brianfletcher7942]

Kenny, you are just a straight up MacGyver 😊. This is awesome. How’s the shoulder? Started spraying yet?

[@housewashing5693]

Thanks. I'm booking work for April. We still have some sneaky freeze days in March. My shoulder is around 40% right now. I can't get it much past 90 degrees. I get weird twinges in my arm and hand.

Thanks for the time and energy you put in to sharing with us. Where did you buy your hose reel from.

[@housewashing5693]

All my reels came from Southside Equipment. But I wouldn't buy Titan again.

[@IRONMANMETALBILLDANKANIS]

You should be able to give it less voltage to slow it down a bit. With a low Buck converter set to maybe 10.5 V

[@housewashing5693]

I've gotten used to it. But great idea

[@gilmendoza8092]

This is great but just curious if it will be similar to the remote valve you made vs the flow pro you ended up buying? Those electric motors are expensive unless I had one laying around I wouldn’t even consider it personally…

[@housewashing5693]

Good point. Who knows if this works 1 week or years? I'm going to put this in my description.

[@Doinitmyway]

If the springs don't work out, try a turn buckle. nice work though.

[@housewashing5693]

I think you skipped through too much. Watch the video again. That will also help my view count! LOL.

[@Doinitmyway]

@@housewashing5693 lol. I did. Got called away for about 2 1/2 hours before I watched till the end. Good fix

[@johnbbrown5750]

Good job sir. I salute you

[@housewashing5693]

Thank you

[@jimmywarren6685]

The true test will be how it performs when it has to pull the total length of hose across a yard...and I am sure that it will be fine...but that is going to change the workload on the setup.

[@mowerdog]

I'll let you know how it works

[@tomuzagregv.8300]

Be subscriber. Great info (all videos)👍Maybe a Lawnmower type pulley would have size/ hub ya need? 🤔JAT 🤷‍♂️ 👍💯🙏✌️

[@housewashing5693]

Maybe so.

[@benderprofessionalservices9018]

Is it possible to jimmy up a drill to get the reel to spin some how. Great Ingenuity

[@housewashing5693]

That is a likely option.

[@Jake-2011-]

Very helpful thanks

[@garygodby9995]

It’s been a few months since you did the video on powering the reels, just wanted to know how that is working. Thanks

[@vcash1112]

[@vansage2691]

What about an electric pto clutch and when it’s off it free wheels but when you turn the motor on it engages the clutch.

[@housewashing5693]

It turns easy pulling the hose off. That electric clutch would be too fancy for me! LOL

[@vansage2691]

@@housewashing5693 I agree it’s fancy adds to the cost. I did see how easy it turns. I would be worried that spinning the motor backwards would do something to the brushes. I like the concept!!! Simple and effective.

[@housewashing5693]

I hope they last a season.

[@Kevin-midmichigan]

How well did your diy foamer nozzle end up working

[@housewashing5693]

Good but I think I can make it better.

[@spartanpressurewashingfl4210]

Do u have the size pulley and the weld a hub? I’m rebuilding my trailer and I want to try it. I have the same titan reel you do.

[@IRONMANMETALBILLDANKANIS]

What do you think about just mounting the motor shat right to the shaft of the reel. Instead of having that pulley and you had a low speed high torque motor, do you think that would work? Thanks again.

[@housewashing5693]

That would work. However, I've found that powering through a belt is safer on you and equipment. I can't tell you how many times my hose gets caught, and the belt slips as opposed to a chain or direct drive.

[@BoostedRex]

How are the electric motor setups holding up?

[@housewashing5693]

Great. I have around 300 jobs on them

[@hexponce3261]

What size pulley did you use?

[@Player__Unknown]

How has it been holding up?

[@housewashing5693]

Real good. I had to replace one switch is all.
