Title: Good for storage, not good for management
Review: I had no issue winding up my brand new 100' 14 gauge cable onto this reel. However, this reel provides no way to actually use the cable while it's being reeled or unreeled. You either have to fold your cord in half, which unreels the other half as you pull on one end, or reel it up with one end in the center.Folding it in half might work if you're doing yard work, but when my driveway is covered in snow, there's no way I can put the cord half way down and just deal with it. So now I'm going to have to unreel the cord before I use it anyway. It's great that people have suggested modifications, but they still don't allow you to unwind the cord while it's plugged in - the cord would twist. Also, it only allows for about 5-10" of lead wire, where all my garage outlets are about 3' off the floor. This works great for storing the cord when not in use, but provides absolutely no benefit for the cord while being used.
