It was designed spin around a water faucet that was sticking out perpendicular to the wall -- you'd screw the female end of the hose onto a rotating extension of the water faucet, which was the central axis of the wheel.
As you spin the wheel (via a crank attached near the outer rim of the wheel), the hose would be pulled up off the floor and wrap around the wheel, making for a nice compact hose-storage system.
What *I* used it for winding on outdoor wlectric cable, eg 100-foot long 12-guage extension cord.
Anyway, the wheel has now broken off. Actually, it was the water-pipe going from the water faucet to the center of whe spinning wheel (water couldn't leak out) that snapped.
Any suggestions where'd you get such a thing?
And how would you securly attach it to rock wall (ie, the wall of the garage)?
