I've picked up all my reels at yard sales and have noticed just recently (started processing 120 a month ago! only sheets and 135 previously) that there are definate differences in the two types of reels I have. The wire gauge is thin on the easy ones to load and much thicker on the ones that cause cursing and "moons" on my first frame. I wish I knew what name brands they both are, the reels are not engraved like the tanks... t(posted 9084 days ago)
