I am looking at some reels to hold some drop cords. At lowes they
specify a reel that has something new to me.
They list the reel holding 150 feet of 5.33 or 125 feet of 4.67 SJT
wire.
I know what SJT is , but do not know what the 5.33 and 4.67 refer to.
What would that relate to in the outside of the cord or the wire size ?
If diameter in milimeters or some other demension looks like the numbers
are backward.
It also lists 150 feet of 5 . Just what does that 5 stand for ?

I need to hold 100 feet of # 12/3 drop cord.
Been thinking of just getting one of the water hose reels as I know that
will hold the wire. I have one with 100 feet of water hose on that is
much larger in diameter than the drop cord.
I can't answer your question but a few months ago I dropped two of those
things off at the local Habitat ReStore. For me, they sucked. There needs
to be a way to use the cord without completely unrolling and removing all
of it. Actually, it wouldn't have been that hard to modify them, but I was
short tempered that day and just wanted to get rid of them.
