STATUS 2 Socket Cable Reel, 20m, Outdoor Garden Extension Lead, DIY

Good cord length allowing me to reach every corner of my gardens with ease. Very easy to unwind/rewind without snagging. The inbuilt handle makes it very easy to move around and the bright neon colour makes it’s hard to miss when using in the garden. It can be used indoors as well as outdoors & seems to be built to last. So far I’m very happy with this purchase.

Great extension cable, good quality and length 15 Metre, great value for the money.love the green colour.

This is a good extension reel, easy to unfurl and rewind. The only issue I have with it is the plastic casing. It's quite flimsy and I don't think it will stand too much abuse such as accidentally dropping it. The cable itself seems to be of a reasonable thickness and quality so should last a while.

Purchased this to replace a more expensive single gang extension cord that ran off the job site. Surprisingly lightweight and easy to carry with the handle, the cord runs smoothly of the wheel, and rolls up nicely. Very sturdy. Had two charges plugged in as well as a step down transformer for a 110V dewalt battery charger, and a corded power saw, didn’t blow the safety fuse or generate any significant heat.

As someone who constantly needs a bit of extra reach for various DIY projects, gardening tasks, or even just setting up outdoor lights, a reliable extension reel is an absolute necessity. I recently picked up the STATUS 5-meter Double Socket Cassette Reel, and after putting it through its paces, I can confidently say it's an excellent piece of kit for the money and perfectly earns its five stars. Positives: * Compact & Portable: This is a big win for me. The cassette design means it's super easy to store without tangles and incredibly convenient to carry around. It takes up minimal space in my shed, which is always a bonus. * Just the Right Length (5M): Five meters is a sweet spot for an extension lead. It gives me enough reach for most jobs around the house and garden without having excessive, cumbersome cable to deal with. It's ideal for powering things like my electric lawnmower, hedge trimmer, or even just setting up a lamp in a tricky spot. * Double Sockets = Double Convenience: Having two sockets is surprisingly useful. I can plug in my drill and a dust extractor simultaneously, or string up some fairy lights while still having a spare socket for something else. It saves fumbling around for another extension lead. * Crucial Thermal Cut-Out: This is the most important feature for me and provides immense peace of mind. Knowing that the reel will automatically cut power if it overheats (due to being overloaded or the cable not being fully unwound) is a vital safety aspect. It's a non-negotiable for any electrical reel I buy, and STATUS has included it perfectly here. * Sturdy for its Price: For what I paid, the build quality is surprisingly solid. The plastic casing feels robust enough for regular use, and the reel mechanism is smooth, making it easy to wind the cable back up. It doesn't feel flimsy or cheap at all. Negatives: * 10 Amp Limit: While perfect for most household appliances and standard power tools, it's essential to remember it's rated at 10 Amps. This means it's not suitable for very high-power equipment like powerful heaters, welders, or multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously. You need to be mindful of what you're plugging in, but this is a specification, not a fault. * Basic Cable Thickness: The cable is perfectly adequate for the 10A rating, but it's not a heavy-duty, thick industrial-grade cable. For heavy-duty construction site use, you'd want something more robust, but for domestic DIY and garden work, it's absolutely fine. * No Individual Switches: Both sockets are live when the reel is plugged in. This is standard for a basic cassette reel, but some users might prefer individual on/off switches for each socket. Conclusion: If you're in the market for a compact, safe, and incredibly convenient extension reel for everyday household, DIY, and garden tasks, the STATUS 5-meter Double Socket Cassette Reel is an outstanding choice. Its built-in thermal cut-out is a major plus, and the dual sockets add great versatility. While it won't power an entire workshop, for general use around the home, it's a brilliant, reliable, and value-for-money piece of equipment that I'd highly recommend.

I have been using and old and long extension cable that I have had to repair from time to time and also wind up around my arm in order to put it away. This cable reel is and absolute doddle to use. Four sockets (instead of one like my old extension) and a lot of cable so I no longer have to unplug it half way around and plug it in somewhere else. It unreels with ease and has an inbuilt safety measure. I managed to reel it out around two sides of the house with ease which covered the front and side gardens for mowing. Reeling it back in is easy too as you only need to wind the handle and watch everything come back to you with ease. Wish i'd bought one earlier. Love it.

Nice smooth wind back and does the job. Seems well made and the length is accurate

Really great! 4 sockets, good cable length, reaches right to the bottom of my large garden. Easy to store.

Gute Kabeltrommel in gelb für Camping! Allerdings nur in 1,5 Quadrat 3x Cu Kabel. In ausgerollten 25m ist diese aber nur bis 2,5 kw belastbar. Ansicht gute Qualität. Armin Skunde
