Locking mechanism for Hozelock Auto Reeler

grabcad

My Hozelock Auto Reeler was broken. I could draw the hose out, but it was just drawn back in the reeler, ie it was not locked. I opened the reeler and could see that the locking mechanism was broken in two pieces (see picture).I measured it and build a 3D model. Afterwards I printed the model (in nylon), mounted it in the reeler, and saved quite a lot of money.
