TerraBloom Retractable Extension Cord Reel with Light Indicator - 12/3 Cord Reel 25 FT - Triple Outlet Electric Cord Reel - Wall Mounted Retractable Power Cord Reel - UL Listed 14 Amp 125V 1750W

Bought this for my home garage shop. After installing it and using it I was impressed. This reel up cord is perfect. The retract mechanism feels firm and the cord is a good thickness. I mounted it on the ceiling to keep it out of the way. I would definitely recommend it…

Good quality, easy to install.

I decided I needed cord reel so I could quit having to uncoil and re-coil power cables every time I needed to use some power tool in my shop or immediately outside it. I purchased this hoping I could hang it in an out-of-the-way location in my storage shed that doubles as a small workshop.Installation of the cord reel was pretty easy. I decided that I did not want to do a wall mount. I wanted to hang it from the rafter, but since it was a 2x4, I would have had to mount it on the side. Instead, I cut a pice of 1x6 about 12" long, then attached it to the 2" underside of the rafter. I marked, then pre-drilled the holes for the bracket (See note below about the bracket since it took me a minute to figure out how to get the reel off, then back on the bracket). I attached the base of the bracket, slid the reel mounting "knob" into one side, then slid the other bracket half into place. Voila! It worked!The bracket itself 2 pieces that slide apart. There is a tab in the center that needs to be depressed to detach them. Turn the reel 90 degrees to the side to access the center tab.I tested the pull and retraction a few times and so far it works well. I also like the fact that the 3-plug end has a power indicator light inside it so you know that it has juice.The reel is mostly plastic, so we shall see how long it lasts. I will come back after I give it some time and update this review.For an inexpensive option, I recommend this.EDIT: I removed 1 star because I found that you have to pull a decent amount of cord from the reel before it catches. If you do not pull enough, it just rolls back up into the reel. Kind of lame when you only need about 5 ft of cable. Still like it, though.

It handles the higher demands of shop equipment like battery chargers and A/C service equipment.

You absolutely must drill the proper size size pilot hole in order for these to be mounted into your studs. The long screws.com grooves that come with the unit are not made of a very strong material, and if they strip out, there's no way to get them back off other than drilling the heads off the screws and then using pliers to get the screw body out.(ask me how I know). I had drilled pilot holes but one size too small. I switched over to a different stainless steel screw with a hexagon top that I could drive with a nut driver, and that worked much better.

Hung from ceiling in center of woodshop. Like that you can plug in three things at once. Pulls down and retracts easily.

Easy to use. Easy to install. Works as it should

The three set female outlet is of extremely low quality. I used it once and the male plug would lose the connection and fall out.
