Sturdy reel with good capacity
Purchased this reel for a 2.5mm 3 core arctic cable to run across a churchyard to supply the village Christmas tree lights. The cable is 50m long and the reel took it all, and a weatherproof box with the sockets was easy to attach to the reel. So for what we needed it is perfect. I was a little worried that it would not take the full 50m, but the description was spot on. You might wonder why such a heavy cable for tree lights, but it gives us the facility to use it should a heavier current be needed at other times. The reel seems strong and sturdy, so should last well if looked after. All in all we are very pleased, so have given 5 stars.Read full review...

AN EXCELLENT CABLE DRUM FOR WHATEVER SIZE OR TYPE OF CABLE YOU NEED TO STORE
Well made, fairly robust and easy to adapt for your own sockets, such as large 13amp 240volt mains power sockets or much smaller HDMI or other video and audio cable sockets. There is plenty of room inside the central core of the drum to accommodate any of these plus their internal cable connections. The face plate of the central core of the drum is easy to take off and adapt to fit your chosen socket by taking out just three screws. The very simple flip over locking mechanism works well to stop the drum rotating while it is in transit,Read full review...

A BRILLIANT CABLE DRUM
The cable reel is sturdy and a very very good price.
It's also versatile in as much as you can detach the centre panel and install sockets in it, oir you can bring the cable end out and wrap it round the three flanges provided.
I bought ten of these having bought a sample and I'd buy more if it needed them!
The cable is easily rewound on to the drum and there is a locking slide which works well. I was looking for metal ones but these are absolutely fine, and considerably lighter.Read full review...

Sturdy cable reel for a variety of uses.
I bought this to store a 9-metre pressure-washer hose, which was always tangling up when wound around the washer itself. It seems plenty large enough for that task, but would also be great for storing various electrical cables, hoses and tubes. The reel seems well made and should last for many years.Read full review...

Cable drum
Very good product, I have used it for 40m of heavy duty 240v cable and there is room for more. I would suggest don' forget to unroll all the cable before use as could heats up if you don't. Strong construction and easy to use. i will buy another one of these if i need it.Read full review...

Exactly as described and easily turned into whatever type of cable drum you want.
Drum has a hole to feed the cable that's wound on the reel through. Also there is a removable centre plate on one side that you can mount a socket on, so you can make your own, customised, reel. Just what I wanted to tidy up a "long lead". Even got a clip to stop the reel rotating when being carried.Read full review...

It does the job
So far it does the job and keeps my cable nicely wound up.
Separately, I think that the algorithm choosing the questions to be answered isn't quite upto scratch: Is the question "Is it enjoyable?" appropriate to an empty cable reel?Read full review...

Good product
Just what we needed for our moho water hose. Had been a nightmare keeping it flat & without kinks in it. Now so smooth. Highly recommend. Made of plastic so hope it will stand up to the job.

Empty cable reel drum
I was previously wrapping my extension cable round a frame, which caused the cable to twist and become knotted. With the cable drum, now fitted with a socket outlet, the cable is pulled straight out, and does not twist - a big improvement, and much quicker.Read full review...
