Do you have to coil and uncoil it by hand or is there a spool that turns?

You coil & uncoil it by hand, but there's a spool in the middle that the hose goes around.

No turning spool, but after the hose has been in there for a few days, it's easy to get it back in. Must be done by hand every time, though.

Yes, you do have to uncoil manually but there's like a permanent spool to coil the hose around.

You have to collapse it and fold the coil back onto the shaft. This is the biggest bag I could find.

Spool cover has two green tabs that you squeeze at the same time and the cover slides over the detents. The spool comes right out. You can only put the spool in one way, so the replacement is really quite easy. I've even taken some store bought line and rewrapped an empty spool.

Yes. There's one bolt and a wire to undo. Put some special grease on the opening of the new coil

yes, you can't cast with it. you have to keep a thumb on spool as you let out line

I ended up not needing this. Had it so used it. The problem turned out to be a coil.

Hold the twine with the big end down. Somewhere in the top third of the twine there will be an 'end' of the twine. Part of it is tucked up under the wound twine. Gently pull this 'end' until the tucked part is released and you can unwind the twine as much as you like. I usually 'retuck' the end of the twine after I use it. There may be another 'end' on the bottom of the spool. It's the end the spooling machine started winding with and is impossible to use to unspool the twine. I hope this helps.

I did load the spool by hand. It's very simple and took about a minute. Follow T Garrett's instructions and you should have no problem.

It's a push/pull cable. I had hoped to use it to manually operate the choke on my old car but the angle/direction of the choke mechanism prevented me from using it. There is no twist to release or anything like that, simply push and pull.

You just pull on the handle in the opposite direction of the nozzle, and basically 'unfold' it to an open position. There is no unlock button or any release trigger. (The only release button is to coil the cord back into the unit). Unfolding & opening the unit was difficult for me the first few times, the dryer was stiff and felt it was going to break or crack. But after a month if so of repeating that open/close routine it seems to have eased up and the motion is easier now.

its easy until you get to the loop at the top --in other words picture you put the spool on the top you go down one side and up the other the metal looper that comes out of the top should come out a little more so you can attach the thread there---I always have to use tweezers to get the thread in.....after that it is easy. its good you asked this question because it is a good little machine and this is the only part that annoys me about it....I wonder what others have to say!!

I've been reloading with cheap refill spools. I don't know if using a single line would throw it off balance. It's automatic feed, and it seems the least disturbance seems to make it spit out a couple of feet of line. I'm definitely going to try C's suggestion to tie knots so it won't feed.

It does unscrew but I forgot the thread type. It was a standard thread and I used a coupling or nipple to connect to another hose. I will amend this post if I am able to determine the thread type.

No. You are able to pull the line out then reel it back in with the crank handle. There is no casting option.

Yes you can. It's just as easy as a regular closed reel but instead of screwing the top off it has a button on the side that that releases the spool of line out the side.

No, this product does not self coil. The picture is a bit misleading - if left sitting untouched, the cable would be straight.

I grab both ends and twist in opposite directions. That way when it folds together it doesn't unfold or bulk up because it is fighting against its self try to rotate in opposite directions. Either way grabbing and twisting the wire in the middle should work for you.
