"I purchased this real a year ago and it has been hanging in my garage and what a step saver it is. I have used it to power my vacuum cleaner for the car, my shop vac and leaf blower to give me a little extra maneuvering room. It is a step saver that is really appreciated. When finished just roll back up and forget it until next time. Installation was a snap, and shipping was great. Couldn't be happier."

Never there when I needed it.,

"I was always so mad when i found that someone had taken my extension cord from my shop. With this product my problem was solved. I attached the retractable cord reel to the ceiling in the very center of the shop, just above head hight. There has not been a single time since I received this cord reel that it has been somewhere else. It has a nice heavy duty cord with three receptacle socket that is capable of handling multiple tools. The 40 foot cord allows plenty of coverage and is never in the way when it is stored. No more safety issues with cords lying on the floor to trip me. It is simple to put away when your project is finished and the best part of all, it is always there when you need it"

Reel doesn't retract properly,

"If you just want an extension cord just buy a plain extension cord. If you want a RETRACTABLE extension cord, don't buy this one. The retraction mechanism needs so much help it would be easier to just use an extension cord.
The 12 AWG cable and connectors are great, but the retraction trouble totally offsets this advantage. Even though the product is inexpensive, it's not worth the continued hassle of fighting it each time.
This product is DEFINITELY NOT Industrial Quality as advertised"

Great Product For The Money!,

"I purchased two of these, one for use in my garage and one in my shop. I could not be happier. I mounted both on the ceilings. Installation was quick and easy.
Yes, the rewind takes a little playing with, but they do rewind fully every time and without a bunch of hassle. It would be difficult to find a better product for the money."
