Kent Tooling Reel

[dorset_diver]

Thinking about getting a kent tooling rachet reel, had a CD one and wasnt all that impressed with the rachet - having to use two hands to let more line out etc. does any one here have one; if so how do they rate it and also would appreciate any pics, as the web site only shows thumbnals. Also website dosen't give price, any one know?

Thanks

Mine advice contact John. He will be more than happy to help I'm sure. I got a scooter reel at the show and the product quality is second to none.

I have 2 KT reels, a 75m friction DSMB reel and a 100m ratchet reel. It is an excellent piece of engineering, bomb proof and works smoothly. I've gone through a few reels and I must say it is the ultimate in reels.

I thought it was just me!!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,previously used a CD REEL ,,,,,,,but this is a thing of 'Beauty'......Great reel,smooth deployer,one handed release,came with SMB strap so its a tight little package and handle/winder perfect.....plus its shiney and its something to play with hanging off at 6....(Come on its a new toy!!and I am a sad bugger)

Came with a SMB strap that was slightly too small for the self infflate (My fault when buying it),spoke to MR PERRIN and he posted two suitable straight off,.......and FREE.

Heavier than the CD but who cares!!!!

These are fantastic reels and if you talk to John first he'll sell you what you need instead of the most expensive thing he has.

Can't fault the service, the price or the reel.

I have two 125m friction wreck reels.

I have a friction reel with my self inflating DSMB strapped into the little cradle. It is a fantastic piece of kit, extremely well made and JP will be happy to talk to you for any amount of time regarding it and any special requirements you mat have.

He would probably change the laws of physics to make you a smooth running square reel if you wanted one!!!!

I wanted to buy a wreck reel at the diveshow and was looking at the NAS ones, which are very good.......... but then my eyes caught sight of the the new range of ratchet reels!!!! They are certainly well worth the price. I ended up not buying either as the financial controller had confiscated my plastic!!!

Maybe next season???

BUY IT YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT
