Question:
Can you explain why the Retrax RE64FR wouldn't work on the Pace Edwards Switchblade? It appears as though both fittings that go into the canister are 7/8" in diameter and are held in place by pressure prongs.

Expert Reply:
Hey John, thanks for reaching out!
The Retrax Replacement Canister Drain Tubes # RE64FR have the same diameter as the Pace Edwards Replacement Canister Drain Tubes # PE55TJ so they are interchangeable, but when I went and checked them out, the Pace Edwards tubes were thicker and had more durable-feeling plastic. You're more than welcome to use the Retrax, but you'll get better quality with the Pace Edwards.
Did your previous ones break?
