Anyone have any experience or thoughts on getting a pex uncoiler/reel for use with pex as well as with electric wire?

would be nice to put it to multi-use. 

Thanks!

    I had a 4' diameter aluminum disc I could slip over my uncoiler, so it could take a small roll of 3/8 up to a 600' 1". The inner part was about an 8" diameter, so anything with that size inner diameter would work.
    good to have a friction adjustment also to keep it from flywheeling. Mine was one of the early Rehau versions, on wheels.

    Pretty easy to make custom uncoilers, a lazy susan hardware kit makes for a good start for a small size uncoiler.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Probably could find an old spool and not have to do half that
