'Curly' like the cord on a telephone. Or even just a short length of curly cable? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

I can't stand curly leads we all know they have a tendancy to wrap around when stretched. The two phones are wireless,the curly leaded one had an accident with the wall. ;-) |

If its temporary then remember that they don't stretch far without considerable force and the plug comes out of the socket. Far better to use a ventilated reel with high temp flex and unwind the bit you need. |

Curly extension lead
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Tim Downie" saying something like: I bought a curly garden hose once - never again. Ditto for air hoses - much better with a good quality straight hose. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "It's a moron working with power tools. How much more suspenseful can you get?" - House |
