Abstract
A garden hose reel is provided that may selectively be mounted on either a portable caddy or a fixed wall bracket. The garden hose reel hereof comprises a rotatable reel mounted on a U-shaped yoke. The yoke has a vertical arm depending downwardly from the midpoint of the yoke that is pivotally received by either a caddy supported bracket or wall mounted bracket. A latch assembly selectively holds the reel in a fixed position, and limits the angle through which the reel may be pivoted.
