You should unreel the cord anyway

2007-12-23
I don't own this product (yet), although I do own the cheaper Home Depot one. But keep in mind that with all these products, you shouldn't run a high-draw device unless you unreel the cord all the way anyhow...a wrapped cord can get too hot.

Poor Design

2007-12-07
Cord jams, it is too light for a decent size extension cord. It gets caught in the side of the wheel and I spend more time with this thing than rolling the cord up by itself. Not recommended.

Not that good.

It has a hard time holding 100 feet of cord. The handle is too small and tends to fold back up when in use.

Note: Won't hold 100' of 12 AWG

When I bought the 100' heavy duty 12 AWG cable, this reel was advertised as a package deal. It would only hold about 80' of the 100'. Other than that it seemed to be a fairly well-made device.

Will Really Hold 100 Feet

2007-08-23
Bought a 100 foot extra heavy duty extension cord. Finally a product that will really hold it on the reel

Good once modified

This is a cheapo plastic reel. Seems to be holding up. I drilled a hole in the plastic to feed the male end of the extension cord though. I can't imagine how you are supposed to use this without the hole. I have a 100 ft. 12 guage electrical cord, which fits just fine.

Quality Necessity

I am going to all electric lawn tools, which means plenty of extension cords. This little light weight reel is a happy solution to avoid tangled and hard to store cords. Came fully assembled and ready to go to work.

Cord wheel

it does hold 100' of cord, but it would have been way more useful, if it could plug into an outlet and let you unroll the cord as it is plugged in.

No More Tangled Extension Cords

2008-05-10
This electrical cord storage wheel really solved a headache I was having every time I needed to use my 125' extension cord. What a tangled mess I would end up with. I dreaded the thought of having to rewind that cord mess. I usually end up deligating that task to my Brother, LOL... Now it sits neatly tucked away in the corner of my garage, ready for simplified use.....

Very useful if you are constantly moving cords

I have a small farm and have temporary electrical fencing that I move daily. These cord storage wheels are a god send for moving and redeploying the fencing. They hold a standard 636ft roll of poly electric fence wire with plenty of room to spare. They are cheap enough to own several (I've got 5 of these), and are adequately durable.

The handle design is wonderful: The handle works well when rolling up the cords and then nicely folds in to allow the cord to be unwound very quickly. I can connect one end and allow my 4 and 6 year olds to run with the reel and it will unravel as fast as they can run without problems.

Using these storage wheels, it transformed moving the portable fence from a 90 minute nightmare of tangled cords and removing knots to a 15 minute fun endeavor with the kids.
