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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality. Happy with the purchase.

The label is misleading. The photos show the actual dimensions of My Light Cords as per the packaging are 43.1 feet. I have 2 strings per spool. I'd say you can get about 100 feet of mini flashlights per spool. How carefully you wrap the light can make a big difference. My photos show coils being wound without much care - meaning I could have increased the length of the coil had I been more careful. 3 spools of thin strings fit in one bag. Several people have pointed out otherwise. They didn't even try. See photo. The label says stainless steel. - Is not it. They are made of coated mild steel. Stainless steel is not normally magnetic. Low quality stainless steel is weakly magnetic. The magnet adheres easily to these drums. I didn't call them about it as there was no mention of stainless steel in the Revain ad. And I didn't expect stainless steel for such prices. I didn't want plastic. Plastic becomes brittle and fails over time. Label and Revain promote 12 inch reels. They are 10 5/8 inches in diameter. The pocket is about 12 inches in diameter so you can rewind the spools a bit and still fit in the pocket and effectively get 12 inches? I didn't take my rating off for this as I knew about it before I bought it - thanks to other reviews here. All in all, these are good reels for storing Christmas lights. I am very happy with my purchase. Good quality product and met my expectations. . I would buy again.
