Empty Cable Reel with Metal Frame Suitable for a Wide Range of Cables

I purchased two of these reels to house 30m of shielded CAT8 cable on each reel.Really easy to install, simply remove the outer cover and feed the cable through the inner cylinder - drill a hole in the outer cover and feed the cable through the hole and replace the outer cover.The reel comfortably accommodates 30m of CAT8 cable and could probably hold 50m.

Brought this to store my 50m of garden fairy lights. Worked a treat. Very smooth action and easily stored the lights. It also has a stop so the reel doesn’t unwind. The sturdy box it came in was a bonus as it lets me keep the lights on the reel stored in the box.

Reasonable product.I used it to spoil our Christmas lights for the front garden.Works as expected.Solid construction (doesn't feel flimsy).Would also be good for reeling electrical cable / power leads, etc.

The ridiculous 50m ethernet cable I own and occasionally have use for, was proving tricky to keep tidy and there was no way I was ever going to be able to get it back in the box it was originally purchased in.I'm very happy with this purchase, which has allowed me to turn the big tangle into a tidy reel. There are several nice features including extra holes to allow access to the "inner end" of the cable, and stays that allow you to wind the excess from that end on the banking plate. This means I have some "reach" from that the "inner end" without having it trailing free or being confused with the "outer end".Perhaps these are all standard features in a reel (I never bought one before), but if they aren't they probably should be.On first use I was a little frustrated that there is no handle to help wind the reel only one to carry it ... but actually the handle for carrying can be removed and can be slotted onto the side for this purpose.

Great value for money - I bought mine to neatly store the extra long hose for my Karcher pressure washer...20 metres of the stiff high pressure hose fits just great on this reel (as shown in the photo), you could probably get another 10 metres on as well.

Good tidy reels for event work. Reasonably sturdy for light commercial use and decent enough given the low price.Our previous reels didn't have the tabs on the side to allow a short run to be kept on the hub. These tabs are a great idea. Very useful and the reason we switched to this product.

It is what it is but could be much better if it had a way of securing the cable on the spool before winding in. After some frustration, I now wrap about 18" of the "inside" end of the cable around/through the clips on the outside of the spool, clamping the socket down with the cable, then wind the rest of the cable onto the spool. Other than that it makes a much tidier job of handling cable than winding it round your arm then hloping it stays in place.

I needed something to keep 100 meters of speaker cable tidy. Very useful but winding the cable on a bit fiddly because the reel is very lightweight and winding takes some time to stabilize by holding down with your feet. You cannot let go of the small handle because the cable will unwind again.
