Steel Extension Cord Reel - 12AWG, 80' Ft Cord Length

For a little more $, this reel will survive a lifetime. The similar priced plastic one, arrived with broken rollers.

This company stands behind its products 100%. Great value.

This is a strong unit and the finish on it is great, the cord is 12 gauge so its good for a heavy load such as a 15amp compound mitre or table saw. This seems to be some of the same parts from my harbor freight compressor hose reel or the Chinese are making both from a cache of components with different grades of finish but as my air hose reel is nice and heavy duty as well it suffers from the same short coming of having the fairlead narrower than the spool so it , the cord clumps on top of each other when your winding it up when guiding it on..Also I don't know why everyone is complaining about the access to the bolt hole, You are supposed to trace a pattern on cardboard or paper then transfer the dimension the the wall or ceiling. Drill your 4 holes; 2 slotted holes to hang the unit on 2 extended lags protruding out of the hole and tighten 2 more with the unit pulled away from the wall and resting on the bottom 2, Then tighten all evenly with the weight on the bottom 2..I used a gear wrench..Ofcourse hanging on the ceiling being we have gravity here on earth will help with another person..Sooo tough to figure that one out...

I bought two of the cheapie plastic ones both get bound up. This one is open and does not have that problem. Only issue is for that price range. I would think I should get a light at the end of the cord to indicate power other than that it’s great.

I had a bit of a time me getting this thing mounted, mostly do to the high quality material. It was quite heavy, or maybe just for me. All in all, I am a happy camper.
