Title: Find the Todd Pravata review, and do what he says
Review: Some people suggest using this reel to wind both ends toward the middle. This works, I guess, but with a few minutes and a knife, you can make this thing work the way a reel should work: unspooling the female end of the cord until it's long enough, then setting the reel down next to an outlet and plugging the prong end into the outlet.Find Todd Pravata's review (most of the product pictures on this page are his), and do what he did. It turns an otherwise pretty sorry piece of equipment into a perfectly acceptable performer.
