Cable Extension Reels

Cable Extension Reels are portable power hubs that extend outlets for workshops, garages, or sites. They typically offer 10–50 m of cable, in 110V or 240V variants, with open drums, semi-enclosed, or enclosed housings. With one or more sockets and rugged frames, they keep tools powered and cables tidy, reducing trip hazards on busy jobsites.

Key features include retractable wind mechanisms, wall-mount or freestanding designs, carry handles, and safety protections such as thermal overload and shuttered outlets. Some models add neon indicators or quick rewind knobs. When choosing, match voltage and amperage (often up to 16 A), cable gauge (1.25–2.5 mm²), and unwound vs wound load ratings.

Durability and standards matter: BS EN 61242/ASTA or VDE compliance, sturdy construction, and stable bases improve long-term use. Consider length, weight, storage, and socket count. For a curated range, explore options at Tooled Up.
