put these together about 4 yrs ago out of material left over from different jobs only had to pay for the handles and shaft bushings wasn't going to brag about them till I saw how they held up. Well after 4 yrs the only maintenance I've had to perform is some fresh paint and put some fresh grease on the shafts. they look great on the truck and function every day all day with out any worries. Total cost $150.00 bushings and handles and two cases of beer. beats the hell out of those store bought reels for $3800.00 that all my buddies seem to have nothing but trouble with.
