I recently met someone who is a big fan of these and showed me his

That was immediately added to my Amazon Wish List. *I've been looking
for something which wouldn't break the first time it was dropped from
waist height. *sigh *I'm really tired of winding my cord into a
contractor's weave. *I wonder if they'll someday make one which fits a
10/3 100' cord...


Thanks for the heads-up, Denis.

If they make one that stores 100' of 10/3 cord, maybe you could use it
as a emergency spare tire for your truck. g- Hide quoted text -

I *bought two at a tool show about ten years ago. I love using mine. I
hang it on a nail above the outlet I use for yard work, take it down
for uses. A CAUTION!! for entended time uses, unwind completly, heat
builds up inside the case.- Hide quoted text -

The guy who introduced me to these also warned me of this, but he said
that it was a problem only if you are drawing heavy current (i.e. near
capacity of the cord). He does the same as you, and unreels more cord
as necessary.
