Extension cord reel for long cords ?

[BillK]

Hey guys,
I have a couple of 60 ft or maybe longer extension cords I use once in a while. I would love to find a reel I can mount on the garage wall and unwind them when I need and wind them back up when done. It would not need to be self retracting, hand crank would be fine. I searched a few terms and found mostly the rewind type. Too lazy to walk outside right now but am guessing the cords are probably no larger than 14ga. These are not used for anything high current.

ANy suggestions ?

For what the cost of a good manual cord reel is, I would ether daisy chain or over under the cord. I know it doesn't look as clean as a cord on a reel but it is just as fast.

That's what I would do. For in the shop, I bought a long enough cord on a retractable reel. 65' always plugged in and ready go hanging from the ceiling is so handy. For the very few times I would need longer or a cord outside of the shop, I can live with hand wrapping.

You say you only use them once in a while. It is even hand crank like you are fine with.
