Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This product works well, but it could be so much better. It's as if it was never tested during the design process. Here are the many problems:
- Handle tends to fold on itself rather than stay in the 90 degree postion.
- Handle is so close to the ground, or the wall (if mounting on a wall), that you will scrape your knuckles when winding unless you are careful and hold the handle with your finger ends(stupid, stupid, stupid design).
- They supply two mounting brackets so that you can mount it to a wall or other place. But, it really must have four brackets for smooth operation. If mounted on a wall, the entire reel tends to come out of the brackets, especially when you have most of the cord rolled out. Very, very annoying. This could have been easily solved by making the channels on the brackets a little longer. Like I said, stupid design. You can buy extra mounting brackets for $5.00 by mail.
- The carrying handle on the top of the reel is hollow, so two very thin plastic edges cut into your fingers making it very uncomfortable to carry when you have 100 feet of heavy 12 guage cord. This is also really dumb and could have been easily avoided in the design.
- If you want to use it on the floor, you really should mount it to a board not only because of the above mentioned knuckle scraping, but because it will assist in holding the reel in place. Again, could have been solved easily in the design.
I still give 3 stars because it works and most of the problems can be solved if you are willing to work with it.
