"I don't think the manufacturer has ever tried to use an 8/3 cord on one of these. The hole to feed the plug end through is too small unless you are making up your own cord. It will not work with a cord with molded ends. I wanted to use it for a 50' 8/3 welding extension cord I had purchased but it wouldn't work for that. I also don't think the center drum diameter is large enough for this size cord. Poor engineering in my opinion."

"This reel is exactly as advertised. The use must unplug the cord before winding and unwinding the reel, but that should be standard practice anyway! We purchased two of these and both are holding up fine! Would buy again!"

"This is a quality made product and is well suited for it's intended purpose. What you don't know is that the electrical cord cannot be left plugged into power while you are reeling up the wire. The cord must be unplugged before winding or unwinding. I would rather have a reel that can be left pugged in while you are winding or unwinding the cord. We have installed a slip ring on the reel and modified it so it can be left pugged in while the cord is wound up or pulled out. It works great! You can put at least 200 ft of 12/3 wire on the reel."
