THX Cactus It is rare for me to need more then 100ft anyway...I have not been called out to any building jobs yet, that is where you need a lot. I am not carrying a unlimited 3g or any kind of pressurized pipe cert anyway. I reckon I could do the same, run 100-150 on the reel and just use extensions above that. I am just curious about it cause I have heard the horror stories of guys melting the insulation on the reel cause it got too hot. For what I am doing most of the time gates, fencing/rails, bucket shanks, booms, little bit of pipe and such I am really not running it that hard.
