The manual hand reel is great for designing custom rigging to personal preferences, but Cisco has made it possible for you to take this to the extreme. 

 The mounting plate comes with 14 tapped hole locations for the universal mounting clamps to secure to and can be mounted to both the front and the back of the plate. The line guide can also be adjusted to a wide variety of angles to suit individual needs.

 Lastly, the inner components of the revolving handle are machined from solid aluminum and joined together with stainless steel fasteners for smooth revolutions and a lifetime of use. For customers wanting to start with a manual reel, and later upgrade to an electric planer reel, simply purchase a separate planer motor and the upgrade will utilize all of the existing components.

Drive Reel Specifications

Cisco's manual reels are centered around a 7/16” stainless steel driveshaft and include a 6” or 8" solid aluminum reel, variable clutch, aluminum clutch knob, aluminum revolving handle, universal mounting bracket and line guide (both easily adjustable in 12 different positions for ultimate versatility), and vee clamps capable of mounting from 7/8” to 1½” diameter rails. Cisco also have a large vee clamp option that will fit rails 1-1/2" to 3" in diamater, and low profile clamp options for specific sized tubing.

Reel Line Capacity Specifications

The 6" reel will spool approximately 300 feet of 500# line, or 225 feet of 800# line.

The 8" Reel will spool 500 feet of 500# line, or 400 fett of 800# line. If you will be using weed wacker line this will hold 225 feet of.080" diameter line.

Specs for Reel and Clutch Components: The reels come with a 7/16” stainless steel bore to fit the driveshaft. Attached to the shaft is also a heavy duty stainless steel collar which is built for precision adjustments of the brake (other manufacturers use a thin snap ring which when too much pressure is applied breaks the ring causing the clutch components to rub against the motor housing, thus destroying the unit).

Cisco's clutch components use a hard anodize pressure plate and 660 bronze machined clutch pads for virtually no wear on the unit even after years of constant abuse. The clutch knob is also solid aluminum, and unlike plastic knobs, will neither break nor need replaced each season.
