Ok, I know a lot of you guys are serious fabricators, but this was a
simple
easy thing I found to store some heavy extension cords and ropes out in
the
shop. I took a section of 1/2" EMT and bent the end into a nice U shape
with a conduit bender.


I do the same thing with discarded cable TV co-ax - the aluminum stuff
bends easily but still holds extension cords etc and never rusts


You must be talking about 500 hardline or something like that. Regular RG6
or even quad shield RG6 is to limber to make any kind of a hook. Either
that or I misunderstood and you are using it as twine.


Yes I am using the hardline, it comes on BIG wooden spools and the cable
people discard short lengths all the time. 50' is too short for them to
use.
