Need S Ceiling Mounted Retractable Cord Reel

[slobo]

I need to mount a retractable cord reel to my ceiling near the garage door opener so as to plug it into the outlet. I know there's several different types/brands and was looking at one from Northern Tool. You guys have any experiences good or bad with certain ones?

I saw one at Costco the other day,with a flourescent trouble light,you could remove the light and put a cord end on if and use it elsewhere if you didn't want it on the reel.Looked to be a pretty solid unit with the Snap-on name on it,can't remember the price but it seemed reasonable.

I have a couple of them.
one was a broken retractable drop light that someone was going to throw away. I took it and installed some used cord ends that I happened to have. works great on low draw stuff.

another one is a cman drop light that also has the outlet on it.

the last one is one I got on sale/clearance from home depo or lowes

cant work without them. other than the welders or the small lathe, I never use the wall outlets anymore
