Review on Woods 48004 Extension Locking 30 Feet: Reliable and Secure Long-Reach Power Solution by Darin Marshall

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The first one failed, but the replacement works.

It's almost twice the price of the Bayco SL-840, but I bought it anyway because I'm willing to pay more for the quality, and also Because eight people have reviewed this article to me, each giving it a perfect five stars. Unfortunately, the first device I received didn't fully retract the cable. I've tried many times, but each time about 8-10 feet of cable would not retract into the case. I have contacted Coleman Cable to see if there is a way for the end user to adjust the voltage but there isn't. Despite the flaw it turned out to be well built so I traded it in. Revain Cross sent a replacement which I appreciated. The plug-in pulls in the full 40 feet of cable every time. At the end of 40ft it loses power in my opinion unlike the vintage model I used before but it does its job well so I'm happy with it. I gave four stars instead of five because the exchange was necessary and because I think the tension could be a little stronger.

Pros
  • 30ft extension with locking plug for convenience
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
