Retractable Cord Reel - Triple Outlet,
October 29, 2007
By Dgriff
from Suffern, NY
"This cord reel is awesome. I mounted it in the center of my 2 car garage and I can have electric anywhere inside the garage and halfway down my driveway. The triple outlet means that I don't have to unplug one tool to plug in another. The retraction is great, I have it above my head so I have to reach up to pull it down and I don't bang into it while walking through the garage.
If I could award it more stars, I would. I would recommend this cord reel to everyone who has a garage.

Retractable Cord Reel - Triple Outlet,
October 19, 2009
By Fredericksburg5
from Northern Virginia
"As a Manager of a Custom Millwork Shop I'm very concerned with the hazards of allowing multible extension cords
being left to lay on the floor of common work areas. I purchased several of these Retractable Reels and I 'm very satisfied with how easily these cords retract and store away. The Heavy-duty construction of these Reels is a pleasent surprise, as it seems that there are so many makes and models that simply do not work, or breakdown
just by looking at them. These Reels are a excellant buy for the money.

convenient and handy,
July 13, 2009
By DRTRCR
from HOT DESERT New Mexico
"I should have got one of these a LONG time ago! I hung this from the center ceiling beams in my metal race shop building, to quit tripping over cords all over the floor. Wow, what a difference and easy accesibility. It has a theee outlet head so I can plug in mutliple tools at once from the same convenience.
My only complaint is that it is often hard to make the locking device catch at certain lengths. Sometimes I have to 'fishing reel' it or snap it a few times before it catches. Other than that it works great, and I may buy a second one...

Use It Every Day,
July 13, 2009
By Anonymous
from Austin, TX
"A nice low cost cord reel for the shop. I've been using mine a couple of months now and love it. I have a shop vac attached to it, so I can cover the whole garage, and it reaches to the outside so I can use it with my electric lawn mower.
You will need to get your own lag bolts to mount it. I attached it so that the cord drops down, since I've mounted it to a joist and not the wall.
This is one of those things you wonder how you ever got along without."

"It is quite sturdy and has retracting power enough.
So far no problem at all in retracing back in smoothly at full cord length pulled out.

Northern Industrial Retractable Cord Reel — Triple,
March 16, 2009
By GeneinBoulder
from Colorado
"This is a very high quality product. It installs easily on the wall. I installed it next to a band saw so it is totally unobtrusive. The heavy cord with triple outlet solves the problem of finding a cord and having it much longer than needed when working in the middle of the shop away from any outlets. Great product at a reasonable price!"

Retractable Cord Reel,
November 17, 2008
By African
from Rhode Island
"I like the cord reel. It is much handier than having extension cords draped across my shop.
The only negative I saw was in the set up of the bracket, it is a bit of a pain to try and work with snugging up a lag screw with the way the bracket is designed, the same applies for trying to use a driver on the lower mounting hole.
Overall though, I would say it is a good deal for the money, I got mine on sale too............=o)

No more untangling,
June 8, 2007
By WeekendWarrior
from Burnsville, MN
"I got so tired of winding and unwinding cords I picked up this little time saver. I just put it up and it seems really well built. Strong cord return and strong plastic casing. The triple outlet is a plus. I am getting my Dad one for Father's Day. It doesn't come with mounting lag bolts, just a heads up."
