Weight: 30 lbs (13.6 kg). Available without hose or with 100ft hose included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEnclosed Metal Box. Dark Green.

The enclosed metal box keeps the hose out of sight when not in use, protected from UV, dirt, and weather inside the housing. The dark green finish blends with garden and lawn settings rather than standing out as utility equipment. The G-Guiding System channels the hose onto the drum in even layers as you crank — no tangles, no uneven winding that jams on the next pull. Heavy-duty metal construction with rust-resistant coating — not a plastic shell. Manual crank operation with no spring mechanism to wear out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/azVhZi1rUkk\" title=\"Giraffe Tools SW-5 Garden Hose Reel Box Overview\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%; display:block; margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSee it in action\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBox, Drum \u0026amp; Crank Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- EVIDENCE IMAGE: Macro close-up of SW-5 G-Guiding System hose guide mechanism inside open box and rust-resistant metal housing surface — place near H3 --\u003e\n\u003c!-- Alt text: \"Giraffe Tools SW-5 G-Guiding System hose guide mechanism inside open metal box close-up\" --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e SW-5 (SKUs: SW5US \/ GWRH6V001)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-duty metal with rust-resistant coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enclosed box — hose fully concealed when not in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinding System:\u003c\/strong\u003e G-Guiding System — automatic hose guide channels hose onto drum in even layers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Manual crank with ergonomic handle — no spring mechanism to wear out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 lbs (13.6 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Giraffe Tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hose capacity, box dimensions, pressure rating, and fitting size — confirm with Giraffe Tools spec sheet; not available in current product documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing Your Variant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWithout Hose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Box and reel mechanism only — use your existing hose.
