Retractable Extension Cord Reel, 30 Ft With Three Grounded Outlets

A 26 foot extension cord on a metal reel, plus a 4 foot lead in cord to reach the wall. The rewind is auto guided so the cord feeds back without kinking, and a ratchet holds it at whatever length you stopped at instead of dragging it back while you work. The mounting bracket swivels through 180 degrees, so the same reel works bolted to a garage ceiling or to the wall above a bench and still pays out toward wherever you are standing. The pigtail on the end carries three grounded outlets, and a 10 amp circuit breaker sits in the housing and cuts power if the total load goes over. Rated 10 amps at 125 volts. The floor is the only place a loose cord ever lives, and this is how it stops living there.

What you're getting

  • A 26 foot cord on the reel plus a 4 foot lead in cord to reach the wall
  • Auto guided rewind, with a ratchet that locks the cord at any length
  • Mounting bracket swivels through 180 degrees for a ceiling or a wall
  • Three grounded outlets on the pigtail, rated 10 amps at 125 volts
  • Built in 10 amp circuit breaker cuts power if the total load goes over

Why we picked it

An extension cord is the one thing in a garage that never gets put away, because putting it away means coiling it, and coiling it takes both hands and a minute nobody has. Mounting the cord overhead removes the decision entirely. The ratchet is the detail that makes it usable rather than annoying: without it a spring reel pulls back against you the whole time you are working.
