KH Industries 50 ft. Extension Cord Reel; Heavy Duty Gauge; 120 VAC; Yellow Reel Color

Self-retracting cord reels have a spring mechanism that automatically winds the cord back on the reel, making them easier to use than hand-winding cord reels. A stop, or ratchet, holds the cord at the desired length after it's pulled out for use. A quick tug on the cord disengages the stop, causing the spring to fully retract the cord. These reels provide access and storage of extension cords while protecting the cord from wear, tangling, and kinking.

Standard cord reels are spools that hold extension cords to provide access and storage while protecting them from tangling, kinking, and other damage. The cord can be extended to exactly the length needed to power equipment located at a distance from a power source. Self-retracting and motor-driven cord reels automatically wind extended cord back on the reel, while hand-winding cord reels have a handle or knob for winding the cord manually. These cords can be mounted out of the way in a central location, such as on a wall or ceiling, to keep a workspace organized and help reduce tripping hazards. They are commonly used in retail, commercial, and manufacturing applications, including pressure washing, landscaping and ground maintenance, and service garages.
