AMES NeverLeak AutoWinder Retractable Wall Hose Reel — 100 ft Capacity, Aluminum, 180° Swivel

The AMES NeverLeak AutoWinder is a wall-mounted retractable hose reel that stores up to 100 feet of 1/2" hose and rewinds with a single tug, built on a durable aluminum system.

If you want a compact, long-lasting hose storage solution that avoids hand-cranking and plastic weak points, the AMES 2416500 NeverLeak AutoWinder offers a simple, wall-mounted design that tucks flat against the wall and swivels 180° for reach. Its aluminum construction resists rust, cross-threading and cold-weather brittleness while delivering greater tensile strength than common plastic reels. The unit comes prepared for installation with included mounting hardware and a compatible 100-foot hose.

How does the AutoWinder rewind the hose so easily?

The reel uses a spring-assisted, retracting mechanism that engages when you give the hose a firm tug. That action releases the retraction system and pulls the hose back into the reel evenly, reducing kinks and the effort of manual winding.

• Single-tug activation for fast retraction
• Even spooling reduces tangles and wear
• Works with the included 1/2" hose sized for this reel

Will it withstand outdoor weather and winter temperatures?

The NeverLeak series uses aluminum components rather than brittle plastics, improving strength and corrosion resistance. Aluminum resists rust and tolerates colder conditions better than many plastics, so the reel maintains function through seasonal changes when installed in typical outdoor or garage settings.

• Aluminum frame resists rust and cracking
• Designed to tolerate cold-weather operation
• Hardware included for secure wall mounting

How much hose does it hold and what hoses are compatible?

This model stores up to 100 feet of 1/2" diameter hose and is supplied with a compatible hose. It is designed to work with the included hose; other hose types or diameters may not spool correctly or engage the AutoWinder mechanism as intended.

• Capacity: 100 ft of 1/2" hose
• Compatible hose included in the package
• Not guaranteed for hoses of different diameters or noncompatible fittings

How does the mounting and swivel feature improve usability?

The reel mounts firmly to a wall or fixed surface and can pivot up to 180°, letting you direct the hose toward different parts of a yard or work area without unplugging or re-siting the unit. When not in use, the reel stores flat to conserve space and keep the hose out of the way.

• 180° swivel for flexible reach and positioning
• Stores flat against the wall to save space
• Includes mounting hardware for straightforward installation

Who this product is for: The AMES NeverLeak AutoWinder suits homeowners, gardeners and light-commercial users who want a low-effort, durable hose storage system. It’s ideal for anyone who prefers wall-mounted convenience and weather-resistant materials over bulky portable reels or plastic systems, especially where frequent rewinding and organized storage are priorities.
