Cable is weak point

I recently purchased this reel to replace the exact same reel at work that has been used almost daily since 2002. Yes, they still make the same model 13 years later. Some reviewers said it was unreliable and cheaply made, but that's clearly not my experience. We had no problems with the winding mechanism, fuse, or cable. Eventually, almost daily use destroyed the wire's sheathing, but the coil still worked great once it was taken out of service - it was simply no longer site legal as the…

Cord won't snap when pulled - wants to be coiled all the time

Looks well made and durable. Unfortunately, the mechanism that allows you to fix the cable when it is pulled out of the device's body does not work. This keeps the rope wanting to curl up, and the only way to keep the rope taut is to wedge it under a car tire or wrap it around a bush. I bought the device in April and have only used it four or five times.

Pros
  • Cords, adapters and multiple sockets
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Worked great for 6 months

It worked right out of the box. After about 6 months, the middle connector has somehow bent inwards so that I can no longer put anything in it.

I should also add that the cord can't have been pulled more than a few dozen times at this point. Update - I opened it up today to see if I can get the lock working again. Turns out there are 2 plastic gears working…

Pros
  • Extension cord
Cons
  • Out of fashion
