Abstract: A device for winding a flattened firefighting hose which has a T-bar of a handle and an abutted and welded shaft normally disposed to the handle. The shaft on its second end is recessed into a junction box on the opposite end of the shaft from the handle and welded into position. The junction box has a pair of preferably recessed spaced prongs emanating from the opposite face of the junction box. These prongs are also spaced apart and are of equal length. Stainless steel construction is preferred. All members are perfectly formed of round tubing though square tubing may be utilized and in either case should be preferably about ¾″ in diameter.
