Are the free shipping events for Lee Valley predictable? If so would anyone know when the next one might be?

Not that I have noticed. I just wait for the emails to announce when they do them. They seem to do maybe a half dozen a year.

I'll bet right between Father's Day and the 4th of July.

While not "predicable", they seem to be often enough to make them very useful.

Unless your trying to save money for something like retirement, in which case they are not terribly useful at all....quite the contrary...Originally Posted by Jim Becker

All kidding aside, yes, fantastic company, love it when I can get free shipping.

In case the OP is still waiting, Lee Valley is offering free shipping on orders of $40 today through June 3.

Not saying anything negative about Lee Valley but if you want a really good watering hose reel, I would go here:

Ha! Nice! $150-200 for a garden hose reel! Can't say Ive ever cared about anything in my front or back yard THAT much!

It does depend on your use. Under my use, the BORG $80 units are "done" in a year and the feed mechanism starts leaking in a matter of days. I bet the $100 Lee Valley is done in 3 or 4 at max. I've had an Eley for 17 that still works well and has survived So Cal sun and fairly heavy use. I did specify "if you want a really good watering hose reel". That is what the nurseries buy and find they are much cheaper in the long run.

I'm waiting for the next one to order a hose reel. I hope they have one in a few weeks for Fathers Day.

What kind of hose reel?

Think he meant garden hose reel...I don't believe they sell [air] hose reels for the shop.
Maybe this?

Ah, gotcha. First thing I thought was an air hose on a reel, I was going to suggest this one: LINK
