RTCMIKE Report post Posted March 31, 2015 my latest reel that I sourced from a de-commissioned firetruck (FREE). It was a monster, the spool was 26" wide.I sectioned 13" out of the drum and welded it back together and fabbed a handle out of pipe. Works sweet, I sleeved the handle so it rotates as you wind it... 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
