Review on 🧺 Camco 51065 21' Laundry Reel with Mounting Hooks - Ultimate Laundry Solution for Small Spaces by Alex Mitra

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor clothesline, great shortwave antenna

I bought a couple of these recently when I saw the price had dropped to $2(!) dollars. They may be a crappy Coleman copy - they're flimsy and I don't think they'll last long - but at 1/10 the price they're a great deal for antenna builders. In my case, I replaced the rope with 16ga wire and drilled through the back of the body to install a short braid with a banana plug: a counterpoise or perfectly tuned radial for all occasions! If there's any hope for this product as a camping clothesline, it probably needs to replace the awful nylon rope with paracord and tape the plastic sleeve together.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
