Self-Retracting 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 cord reels automatically wind extended cord back on the reel. These cord reels 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.
