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 ? https://www.lowes.com/pd/Unbranded-K...-Cord-Storage- Reel-with-Stand/5000730131 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. Those numbers , 5.33 and 4.67, are typos. Someone entered them as a numerics, not text. And did not proof read their work. 16 divided by 3 = 5.33, 14 divided by 3 = 4.67 This type of error seems to occur a lot in Lowes, Home Depot, and others item listings. I wonder if Lowes has changed these figures to something more accurate or not. |
