VERY COOL. Reel Smart No-Crank 100 Foot Hose Reel – $24.99

hose

Reel Smart No-Crank 100 Foot Hose Reel – $24.99

This is ubber cool and if my husband didn’t sit behind me and I hadn’t blurted out “CHECK OUT HOW COOL THIS IS”, he so would of gotten this for Father’s Day… but needless to say I messed up and now he’s getting it because I love him.

I digress (I just do this, deal with it people.)

Get this nifty hose reel at WOOT – while supplies last or at 11:59pm cst on 3/8/09 – for $24.99 plus s&h

Googling around – this usually ranges from $70+ – so this is a fantastic deal! In funny woot fashion – here is there marvy description. Somehow water pressure is used to reel in your hose! FUN!

 

Be kind (to your lawn), rewind (your garden hose).

In the future, after the ice caps melt and the continents sink beneath the sea, when we all live in villages made up of rafts tethered together with cables of braided kelp, water will provide almost all our power.

Nothing will be electric anymore. Well, maybe a few little things. Like wristwatch calculators. But charging them will be expensive, requiring the use of eels, so wristwatch calculators will only be worn by the very, very wealthy.

For the rest of us, all our machines and appliances will run on water pressure systems. We’ll call it “e-wet-tricity.” The first guy to call it that, maybe he’ll just have a speech impediment. But it will catch on.

Sound fantastic? Well, in a small way, this mind-boggling future world of tomorrow is already here, in your front lawn. Not in the sense that your children are developing gills and webbed digits (although they might be; we don’t know your kids)—but in the form of the Reel Smart crankless hose winder-upper.

The Reel Smart hose-winder is a thing that neatly, safely winds up your garden hose as soon as you’re finished washing the car, or watering the garlic patch, or extinguishing the terrier, or whatever you were doing with your hose. And it doesn’t use any precious “elbow grease,” a resource that we understand is in extremely limited supply around your place, you lazy good-for-nothing.

Instead, No-Crank brand hose reels do their rewinding with a patented water-piston engine. That’s the power of water pressure! Or, as we’ll be calling it soon, e-wet-tricity. It’s probably a good idea for you to get used to the concept with something simple like this hose-winder, too—because when hydromageddon comes, you’ll have enough new things to adjust to. You know, like squeezing the fresh water out of fishes, and coping with chronic seasickness, and defending the raft-village against marauding bands of seal-people.

Oh! One more thing: This hose reel is “floor mountable,” a phrase that does not make us want to make a yo-momma joke even a little bit, because we’re way classier than that.

Warranty: 2 Year No Crank

  • NO-CRANK hose reels use a patented water-piston engine to rewind the hose. Simply flip a lever and let the power of water rewind the hose so you don’t have to. No batteries, electricity, or springs
  • The power of water pressure rewinds the hose – so you don’t have to
  • Hoses and cables are prone to tangling and present a potential danger to children, animals, and lawnmowers when left laying out in the yard. Hose reels are a simple, safe, and effective method of storing, delivering, and retrieving hoses
  • Floor mountable or anchor it to your lawn with the included spikes
  • Works with up to 100 feet of a 5/8” garden hose
  • Dimensions: 13”W x 13.2”D 10.8”H
  • Weight: 7.3lb

In the box:

  • No Crank Hose Reel
  • 3 Foot Garden Hose
  • Four Foot Drain Hose
  • Spikes

 

WOOT OFF TIME!

wootoff

It’s WOOT! OFF Time! What is a Woot! Off you ask?  Let me explain.

Woot.com is typically a 1 item for sale at midnight kindof site. When that item sells out – Woot is done until the 12 am the next day. WELL.. to spice things up – Woot has this cleverness about them. Every month or so they hold a Woot off. A Woof off is this insane period of time – ranging from 12-48 hours of non-stop discounts.  Woot places an item up for bid – then when it sells out – WHAM up goes another item. It’s really insane and is a compulsive shopper/insomniacs dream *raising my hand, yes I would fall into this category*.

I have a few co-workers who are total Woot! freaks and fortunately keep me updated during the work day when something good comes up – like a Bag of Crap. Oh know – you don’t know what that is either… Let me explain…well i’ll let wikipedia explain:

bocBag O’ Crap

In lieu of typical product sales, Woot occasionally offers a blind grab bag officially called “Random Crap”. Its accompanying picture has lent it the name “Bag O’ Crap” (BOC). The BOC sells for $1.00 but users are advised to buy the maximum of 3. The BOC typically includes dollar store items and may include significantly more expensive items such as large flat-screen televisions. The BOC typically triggers the flooding and subsequent overload of Woot’s servers with thousands and thousands of order requests. The available BOCs typically sell out within seconds. Processing a customer’s order for a BOC, assuming he or she is first lucky enough to get one before everyone else, may sometimes take over an hour.

People totally get into their Bag o’ Crap – here are a few people opening theirs – totally prepared to put on YouTube. If I get one – I’ll so tape it!

Here is an arsenl of  MUST-HAVES for all Woot! Fantatics:

Happy Wooting! Do try to get some rest.
