    best home/garage use extension cord reel ?

    like the title states. I'm looking for a retractable extension cord reel. preferably 14 AWG with single female plug. also 30' would be better (this is in a two car garage). I'm thinking 50 footers would be harder to rewind. looking at all the reviews & what's available is time consuming. Reel Works unit's look good to me but they're on a 3 to 5 month shipping wait. the only two I've come up with are the zilla reel($120) & Goodyear($140). they both have a 5' lead wire helping with placement. wasn't looking to spend over a $100 but don't want junk either. so just wondering what everyone else is using ? thanks.

    Subscribed! I, too, am looking for the same thing.

    I look at my business expenditures 2 different ways. This purchase falls into the category of "need more durability for long term use" and i usually pay for quality once instead of replacing crap more frequently. From my online searches recently i came across the Zilla unit Jeremy uses. Glad to see that one mentioned here.

    I also want at least a dual female end as I want more than one tool ready to go.

    I'm the same way. I get quality stuff right away. Did extensive research and the Zilla is what I was led to. No regrets. Mine is the 50ft.

    Thanks Jeremy! 30 foot cord plus my HD 20' cord on my Flex gives me 50!

    Sams Club has the zilla reel for $89.99 online only.

    Seems like a decent price for what appears to be a high quality necessity.

    I hate manually reeling extension cords. Over the course of 5 years you probably get your money back on time saved not having to manually reel the cord
