One time my spring-driven hose reel just wouldn’t retract anymore. After some trial and error, I figured out the internal spring had lost tension, and the hose had also gotten a bit snagged on the drum. I made sure to clear any kinks and layered the hose properly, and sometimes you do need a professional to re-tension the spring. That’s when I realized why matching the hose diameter with the reel’s capacity is so important—it prevents these frustrating problems.
