Liberty GARDEN 712 Single Arm Navigator Hose Reel - Rotating Bronze

In this review the Liberty GARDEN 712 Single Arm Navigator is presented as a practical wall-mounted hose reel for homeowners who value tidy storage and smooth operation. The biggest reason to buy is its rotating carriage with a pull-up knob that delivers effortless 360 degree rotation, making unwinding and rewinding a hose fast and reliable. The reel holds up to 125-ft of 5/8-in hose and is built from 18 gauge steel with a bronze powder coat, so it suits outdoor use while keeping commonly used tools at hand in the storage tray.

Key Features

• 125-ft capacity: Stores long runs of 5/8-in hose so you can keep most residential hoses neatly stowed when not in use.
• 360 degree rotation: The pull-up knob allows full rotation for easy positioning and quick access to any side of your yard without contorting the hose.
• Durable construction: 18 gauge steel with a bronze powder coat provides weather resistant protection and a tidy appearance year round.
• Brass swivel and fittings: A 90 degree solid brass swivel and brass/galvanized fittings reduce hose wear at the connection point for longer life.
• Tool storage tray: Built-in storage keeps nozzles and small tools within reach so you spend less time searching for attachments.

Who It's For

The Liberty GARDEN 712 is best for homeowners with medium to large yards who use a standard 5/8-in garden hose and want a wall-mounted solution that looks neat and turns freely. It is particularly useful for anyone who values simple operation and quick access to frequently used watering tools stored on the tray.

It is not for people who need a portable cart-style reel or those who require mounting hardware included; you will need to supply mounts appropriate for your wall. Also note the hose is not included, so buyers must already own or purchase a 5/8-in hose separately.
