I'm looking to buy (by *delivery*) a 25 - 30m extension cable and reel.
Single socket output is fine but water resistant if possible. Fully
unwound with a minimum 2500w rating/240v/13A. Fully wound ideally around
1000w to cope with partial unwinding for use with chainsaw or hedge
trimmer.

Prefer metal reel but good *strong* 'plastic' would suffice. I don't like
cassette types though.

ebay/amazon etc throw up lots of options but recommendations from those
who use them preferred.

The one I bought is Sealey BCR2525 which is 25m of strong rubber covered
2.5mm^2 flex. Metal frame but plastic drum. Quite robust. Not
particularly waterproof but I have used it in the rain with the socket
plane vertical. Meets your current requirements including 1400W wound,
and relatively low voltage drop at 13A because it is 2.5mm^2. I think
I probably bought it from Amazon but other sources exist.
