The price doesn't bite. As a DIYer, I use this thing all the time. With a 5 pack, there is no longer a need to search for a reel, usually where I last used it. Just keep one wherever I need it. One in the basement above the water heater as I change items regularly. One in the kitchen over the entire (garbage) drawer. I also converted the RV's water heater to electric and removed the element for periodic cleaning or replacement, so I keep one in the access door. One in the van itself and the last one in the shop building.
