Default A retractable extension cord reel that works?


wrote in message

Im on my second extension cord reel of the this style:

http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...seBVCookie=Yes

Have a Home Depot version and this craftsman version. But
both have
been marginally effective. In both cases a) they seem to
stall on auto
rewind half way and require repeated tugging and repulling
out to get
going again and b) they never quite pull the entire cord
back in
without getting hung up (always leave a couple feet).

Is there such thing as one that really wors? ;^)




I purchased two from Rockler when they were on sale for half
price. They have worked fine for over a year, plus they have
12 gauge wire. http://www.rockler.com and enter "reel" in
the search box.
