These reels are built well, most are made in plastic or light gauge steel....these have them beat by far, I did however have a problem with overextending the reach , so just an FYI I suggest one does not try and use the entire 50' length, I believe by doing this I inadvertently broke the recoil spring, having said that, the team at GreatCircleUSA were very helpful, the communication between us led to a solution that more than made up for the unfortunate break down....as everyone knows, there's nothing worse than being ignored by a supplier.......I do recommend this company hands down!!
