 Works great for the price - Different modification for singly winding November 5, 2009
Todd Pravata (Dallas, TX)
Some other reviewers suggest doubly winding the cord to allow for partially unreeling. I've not tried that, but seems like it would work. Not sure how easy it is to reel that doubled cord though.
Others suggest drilling a hole in the spindle and passing the female end through the hole. This will work, but if you have any length of the cord sticking out, it's going to fly around as you try to wind the cord.
If you want to singly wind the cord without the free end flying around, then you can make a modification that stores the free male end on the outside of the spool hub. To do this you simply have to notch 4 of the 5 hub splines. This is fairly easy to do with a sharp utility knife and needle nose pliers. Then you can clip the male plug into one of the holes in the hub. See my customer photos for the details.
As you unwind, the free end will stay out of the way. After unwinding the amount that you need, just free up the male end from the hub and plug it in the outlet. To reel in, just store the male end on the hub and reel it in. The free end stays completely out of the way.
I have a 50' cord wound on this reel and it's sturdy enough for that much cord. Bought mine at Home Depot and I've used it often in the many years that I've had it. It's held up great. Yeah, it's plastic, but sturdy enough. Nothing has broken or fallen off of mine.
Giving it 5 stars because, for the price and with the modification I suggest, it's does a great job.

No big guns here, but a perfect, inexpensive way to store Christmas lights (the reel snaps out), extension cords, etc. Handle gingerly, and it'll do a fair job.
 USLESS EXCEPT FOR KITE STRING October 7, 2009
Henry J. Racine Jr. (PAWTUCKET, R.I.)
BOUGHT 3 OF THESEM USLESS, TO WEAK FOR DECENT SIZE EX-CORD, 100' 14 GUAGE, NO PLACE TO GET TO PLUG EMD WITHOUT TAKING ALL OFF OF THE REEL, WHEN YOU TRY TO PULL OFF CORED IT TIPS OVER, SAVE MONEY AND AGREVATION, BUY THE MORE EXPENSIVE AND WORTH IT ALEX STAMPING CORD REEL WOULD LIKE TO SEND THEM BACK OR DISCARD THEM.

Cord Reel July 11, 2009

When I received this reel it was coming apart at the handle. It was supposed to snap together but it would not hold. With help from a tube of super glue I fixed it. I also found the same reel at Walmart after I ordered this one for the same price. All in all, the reel does hold 150 feet of the orange outside electrical cord. It is a lot better than trying to roll or unroll a tangled mess each time.
