This hose jockey was on its way to the dump with a busted crank handle. epoxy fixed that (second try) wire mesh screwed to the ends to increase the arbor size, could have used wooden slats too for the same result I suppose. Got the idea from gramps old linen line dryer, now long gone

Electric version, 1/2 gal plastic juice bottle, drill the cap for a 1/4 20 bolt with fender washers on both sides of the cap, tighten nut down and screw back into the jug.  I use an old reel seat in a vise to position the reel, the jug is less than a foot away as I strip it.  If your drill reverses, don't spin counterclockwise, that will unscrew the cap sending the jug flying.  You need to pay attention as you get to the end so you don't screw the jug back and slam it into the reel when you get to the end.  Light enough to hold and guide with one hand use the other to "thumb" the reel with a paper towel.  Bear Skin and stone axe....works fine.
