Competitor Take Up Reel (w/Cover and Allen Wrench)

This product is very good quality as expected. A unit with a uncoated, steel reel was delivered instead of the coated one in the picture. I don't see any disadvantage to that and it could be advantageous in terms of wear, which is perhaps why they are now delivered without coating. Shipping is from the manufacturer, not SwimOutlet, so the free shipping stuff does not apply and the shipping is slower (a few days). Still the shipping was fast enough and should be good for most non-emergent situations. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and will purchase this product again from Swim Outlet... I will need to as our other lane lines age and I stave off buying complete line replacements.
