Good retractable extension cord reel?

[FishingMan]

Who makes a decent retractabe extension cord reel that will hold a hundred feet of 12 gauge cord? I have a realcraft for my air line thats been good. Has anybody ever used a airline reel for an extension cord?

Thanks wamsutta. Will they take a factory extension cord or do i have to use sjo cord? I like the ridgid cords from depot. Tough and stay flexable.

I have the robo reel. I’ve had it for a few years. Used in my home garage not commercially but it’s awesome.

That triple tap is nice. Thanks for the help.

Also look at Coxreels and Woodhead. Very nice, highend reels.

Reel craft triple tap is on the way. It will go nicely with my Reel craft retractable airline. No more wrapping up extension cords. Thanks for the info guys

Got a 65' cord reel from Northern a number a years ago. Works good and hasn't started on fire so I don't know what more you want out of it.

 

[FishingMan]

The one i ordered has 100' of 12ga. With a tripple outlet. No more to want. Its slick. And well made.

Is there anything like the triple tap from reelcraft but cheaper? $700+ for 100ft of cable is ridiculous when you can get a similar amount of cable (without a reel) for $50.

Youll be cursing a cheaper unit every time you have to manually windup the last 12'...


Reelcraft is a very high-end unit, meant for everyday use. If you dont want spend that kind of cash look into lower tiered Cox reels or the HF Goodyear unit.
