Review on Christmas Light Storage Reels Container (3 pack) - Durable Metal ๐ŸŽ„ Construction with X-Mas Carrying Bag Case for House Tree Lights - 12-inch by Steven Nina

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Just a little more expensive than I think they should be

How many spools do you get? I have three. What is the drum diameter? A little over 10". It's not 12". Stainless steel coils? No, but they are colored well and I don't intend to use the rollers outdoors anyway. Do all three rolls fit in one bag? Once assembled, all three unlit coils fit easily in a bag. Once you place the lights on the reels, how far/how far the lights protrude from the sides depends on whether they all fit or not. How do you collect them? Each coil consists of two halves screwed together. Take a pair, unscrew them, flip one half over, then screw them back together. Do the coils have a knob that you turn to turn the lights? no There is no turning mechanism. You hold the spool and manually wrap the fairy lights around it. It's easier when you have two people. How many meters of filament can each spool hold? See photos and related description below. Photo 1. Two chains of 100 C6 lamps. The lights are 4 inches apart. Each garland is 33 feet long, 66 feet total. Photo 2. Three rows of 100 C6 bulbs. The lights are 4 inches apart. Each garland is 33 feet long, 99 feet in total. Photo 3. Two garlands of 100 M5 lamps. The lights are 4 inches apart. Each string is 33 feet. Plus a string of 50 M5 lights. The lights are 4 inches apart. String length 17 feet. Only 83 feet. Photo 4. Left, three rows of 100 C6 bulbs spaced 4 inches apart (total length 99 feet) from the same manufacturer. On the right are two rows of 100 C6 bulbs 4 inches apart (total length 66 feet) from another manufacturer. The reason the coil on the left can hold 100 extra bulbs is because the C6 bulbs on the left are smaller than the C6 bulbs on the right. And no, multicolored pears are not C7 or C9. This is C6. Photo 5. Although all three spools (orange, blue, multi-colored) fit in the bag, you won't be able to close the bag if you collect as many lights on the spool as I did. But for me it's not a problem. I wanted rolls, not a bag. Are you being compensated for this review? no I think the bag and coils are overpriced but these are the only coils I can find that do what I need.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
