My electric cable reel with 4 sockets has finally reached the bin and so I am looking for another good quality one. I use it in the garden for the lawn mower, also use it with my Kranzle pressure washer as well as tools, drills etc and so I'd like a decent quality one with a thicker cable that will take all the equipment I have Thanks so much in advance
Got a Masterplug Pro XT metal reel,(OTLU40134SL) lovely reel,has 40mtrs of 1.25mm2 (H05VV-F) cable on it. https://www.screwfix.com/p/pro-xt-otlu40134sl-xd-13a-4-gang-40m-cable-reel-240v/8086g For heavier work, got a metal hose pipe reel with about 50-60 mtrs of 2.5mm yellow Arctic cable on it, used yellow for visibility, & I had a roll of it here.
I make my own as long reals are a pain having to pull all the way out for short runs. Guess it depends how long you want but I have a few. I bought 10m real but shortened to 4m and that's the one I use the most
I also got an assortment of short leads made from arctic cable,like 3mtr,5mtr10mtrs,etc, I hate using leads longer than they need to be,a accident waiting to happen.
I burnt a real out when I was 17 streaming wallpaper... Melted as acts as a electro magnet. Big bang and flash... You only do that once so pull the cable all the way out. Never use while wound up
