I did a web search and it looks like it is only available online; the funny thing is that if I change my store to different stores in the area, the prices change from 79.99 to 47.99 to 23.99 .. of course the shipping was $34 ..

They've got 4.99 shipping on orders of $99.00 or more. Of course that means if all you want is the reel for $23.99, you've got to buy a bunch of stuff you don't need to get the shipping rate down!

I supposed this is going to be like the Gladiator cabinet thread. Now we all have to rush Lowes for a hose reel or two. I'll have to stop tonight to see about them. I could use two I believe.

I had the 25 ft. HF one. The catch mechanism failed. Man...let me tell you...that's more frustrating than not having a reel at all!

I now have the 50 ft. from Task Force (same as the one from HF). Hopefully it will hold up better.

I picked up 4 of them today 2 for me and 2 for my neighbor . My stores regular price was $79.99 and they had them for $41.99 . I had a printout from BDBLK2K3's store . I went to lowes online and typed in his store number 1060 in the locator and searched that store for the reels it showed $23.99 . I printed it out and took it with me and my store matched it . I got the last 4 they had . Thanks BDBLK2K3 great deal .

For those that have one, is the hose itself decent? A buddy of mine has a low buck reel and the hose is super stiff and a PITA.

Oh Snap! I forgot that they should match neighboring store's prices! I ordered two online from far away (luckily that store is still along my 85 mile commute). Now I can return the HF 25 footers I just bought!

Note: I tried to order several to get it over $100, let me tell you the 4.99 parcel shipping does not apply. I have a kind of large garage so I wanted more that a few.

Edit: After getting a confirmation call saying they were ready for me to pick up, I got another call saying they were out. DRATS!

Phy BDBLK2K3's store is no where near mine not even in the same state and they still price matched . Lowest price I could find locally was $41.99.

Thanks for the tip - I have been wanting those for some time but not at $79.99.

So, went to my Lowe's store & they had 1 on clearance for $41.99....told them about the Charlotte deal & the store manager sold me his last one for $23.99.

Armed with that receipt, I went to the next nearesy store...they were out of stock but had been $41.99....went to the next one, showed them my receipt & a zone manager told me they were still a stock item in that store & were $79.99 (& that they had 4 more on order).

So, went to the farthest store - 1 in stock there for $79.99...showed them my $23.99 receipt & the store manager told them to match it.....now, I've got 2!

Learned a little on that round trip....1st, Lowe's has sent out a memo that tells all stores to match prices of other stores if there's a Lowe's receipt showing the price (that's why the manager marked his down from $79.99 to $23.99).

So, tomorrow, armed with both my receipts, I'm returning to the store that wouldn't reduce them & am going to speak with the MOD (Manager on Duty) & show him my 2 receipts...I need 2 more & he has them.

Good for you Autoist . I had been wanting one as well and my neighbor had mentioned the next time I saw them on sale at Horrible leight to grab him one so I called him today and told him of the deal and he laughed and said heck at that price grab me 2 if they have them so now he and I both have 2 of them . The hoses seem decent to me and for $23.9 even if you had to replace the hose dang who cares . They also come with a seperate 3' leader hose.

After I got screwed by the manager on the Gladiator cabinet deal (he wouldn't mark them down at noon, but they were marked down and got by 5 pm) I wasn't so sure on this deal. Stopped by and got 1 for the 23.99, the wife thinks it will be great for all those times she fills the kids bikes with air!

I've been lurking for sometime and plan on giving a full overview of my 2 car garage on a budget build, it's about 2/3's of the way done with tons of homemade creative storage ideas. I'll post pictures and the full story as some as I get a little further along 1-2 weeks.

Guys, unlike the Gladiator thread, this is one item that you should give a little extra thought to. Replacing the hose is a no brainer but a lot of these cheaper hose reels are known for having issues with the rewind mechanisms. Just keep that in mind. I know the price is cheap, but your labor/time to install it on the ceiling or wall may not be. Remember, you're now crossing into cheap tool territory. Best of luck!

Scored one at the local store with a $10 off $50 purchase (I needed some other things anyway), out the door for $20.13 plus tax.

Great deal!

Printed out the web page from Timonium MD with the $24 price, took it to Gaithersburg and bought the last two they had. The manager lady gave the printout a weird look, and then changed the price using the "Incorrect Price" option. Got two for ~$55! However, the lady took my print out to show to her manager. So if you are hitting up multiple stores using this method, print a couple pages!

Returned the two unused 25' ones I got from HF for ~$78. WIN!

Oh, BTW the reels weren't down on the floor where their price was listed ($41), they were way up on a shelf, 20' high.
