Does anyone know a source of coiled mains flex? I'd like to replace
the flex on mu handheld blender with one to avoid the tangle it came
fitted with.

A coiled kettle lead would do, I can cut the connector off easily
enough. I've googled "kettle coiled flex" and got lots of safety
advice for avoiding scalded children: "Have you shortened your kettle
flex or bought a coiled flex?" etc., but not a single link to a
supplier.

Thanks
Andrew

It's a great idea in theory, but it doesn't really work in practice
(unless there is better stuff than i've tried) It just acts like a
short cable, and if you extend it then it pights you (until such time
as it goes all knotted (not long)).

A much better idea would be to fit a round section cable rather than
the flat cable that most double insulated appliences seem to come
with . This will behave much better.

If you really must do it, then RS used to stock various coiled flexes.

I'd say you'll find one annoying with a hand held device. If it is tight
enough when the appliance is 'parked' it will fight you when in use.
Have you cut down the existing one so it's only just long enough?

I saw curly extension leads in one of the sheds recently. Can't remember
if it was B&Q or Homebase. But probably rather thick for your use.
