Masterplug Premium 4 Socket Metal Open Cable Reel with 40 Metre High-Vis Cable, Heavy Duty Extension Reel, Thermal Cut-Out & Power Indicator, Large, Pro-XT, Grey/Green, 13A, 4G, 40m, OTLU40134SL

I bought this 20/12/22.Its stood up to the longevity test, we have used this whilst camping, out in the awning, in the house, when the lighting Ring had a fault, but we still had power sockets, used it as a main light in most rooms until the Ring failure was was located by the electrician finally fixed.We used it in the garden for hedge cutters & charging power tools.Now The 2 Plumbers working here, are currently using it right now, to repipe water to my bathroom into the loft space, instead of all round the walls, to create a Wet-Room for me, they both think it is such a great, useful, robust bit of kit, they are both going to purchase one each on pay day, when the Boss has paid them!Honestly, You can’t get a much more thorough product testing, by holding back, to be sure you fully put this item to good use over a decent period of time.Only then, give a full & frank review.Well I can assure you all, it has definitely been well & truly tested in many ways & over 10+ months of use, with the added bonus that its currently as I write this, also being used in a professional setting too!!The 7 different people here, who have all used it multiple times & for varying reasons, all give it a:-10⭐️ for design features, the light is great idea, (Brand owners, we need more like it with longer cables to please!).Great in the caravan awning, but limited placement due to length of cable, needs to be longer, so we don’t have to lay the cable under the caravan on the pitch..10⭐️ for bright HiViz cable & decent cable Length, sturdy cable winding holder on its reverse.10⭐️ for the kick stand also on its reverse & its very stable, good light brightness, for working in tight/Large spaces.Currently the 2 professional plumbers both agree, they are both currently hanging out a hand from my loft hatch, each with a gloved-coveralled thumbs up!!10⭐️ for the handle that is also robust enough to be hung up high on a hook to use light & a power cable at the same time, as is the kick stand able to be hung from a hook, permitting it to shine down 90° towards the floor or over a work bench/area, still bright enough light, for more detailed type work..SO Final opinion:-Having given it light use & very rugged use, add to that Professional working conditions use, All 7 persons opinions, are true daily life/daily strife uses, we haven’t found any reasons not to like any of its features.As it’s very solidly built, very well thought out, good functionality points, implemented by the designer.We all Would definitely purchase another if they did a longer cable, then we could have one for home DIY etc & a longer one for the caravan & when the girls go camping.This would allow use to be able to hang it from a hook above the table & chairs for meals, rainy day, card or board games etc, one extra feature the designer might consider on the next one with a longer cable, would be a small remote control key ring to clip on the caravan key, for turning the light on from a short distance away from the awning on approach to the caravan/tent pitch in the dark, as I know many caravaners that would swoop in & grab some stock of the longer cable & remote light fob options, as would many tent campers on electric hook up pitches too..But these are purely optional extras rather than “improvements”, as the item is fabulous as it is & very functional & robust.The other suggestions are to make it a great back up/secondary option for bigger garden jobs/pitches requiring longer cable length etc!Please take a moments Caution!!Purely to consider My sugestions for hanging!!Please be safe!!The 2 HOOKS we have used for it to be hung up high/90° angle over head SAFELY are 2 of the stainless Steel S shape butcher type hooks, that you can hang/hold up 3kg+ of weight safely, the item is not heavy, but when you plug in an item allowing the cable to hang, that is additional weight, also please do not over stretch any cables hanging from this, 1 hook would be plenty, but we use 2, 1 each end of the handle/kick stand, for stability, just to be sure peeps this may not be recommended by the brand, or by health & safety rules, everyone must avoid/prevent any risk of injury, by being sensible, to the product & yourself.I am not saying that this is recommended by anyone, but it is how we have safely & sturdily used it in our awning, house when we had mains lights not working, we used 2 hooks to prevent knocks/movement of it, also if someone/something snagged the un-looped power cable, which in some rooms was hardly needed, but for safety has to be unwound before use!The hooks we used then prevented any chance of cable stretching any where near either ends or middle of the HiViz power cable, for every safety reason known to man!!.I do hope my thoroughly tried & tested, informatively written review, the full long term uses we have needed it for, over the last 10+ months & everyone heres experiences of their use of this item, with their exerts added freely, from all of our family members & then by the now “multiplying plumbers” here, which now stands at 3 professional Plumbers in my home,🤣 many thanks to (Ben, Ken & Jo).This review has been written freely & without any incentives, I just like to give praise where praise is due, where the Brand & Product itself has absolutely functioned above & beyond expectations, so it has fully earned it, but also that it stood up to a family of 5 is a good product, now add the now 3 plumbers, its clearly been made to gold standard build strength.Where the item still after 10 months of regular use, but Still looks as good as it did, upon day of delivery & removal from its box, where it was put straight to use in an emergency, when our main lights Ring failed!I feel that, When a product does what it says on the box/tin & much more, then writing an honest review is Never a Chore!!I hope this helps those who have the time to read it, hope you have a fab day👍🏻

Item as described arrived in good condition and was delivered on time first class service build quality Very sturdy length and size great

Very Useful and Good Quality ExtensionThis 10-meter extension plug is super helpful around the house. The length is perfect for when I need power far from a socket, like in the garden or around the garage.The cord feels strong and not too thin. The plug fits tight and works with all my devices. I’ve used it for my tools, laptop, even a heater, and had no problems.Really happy with it—works well, feels safe, and the length makes things so much easier.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Quite a small diameter reel but it is high quality.

Really pleased with this 4-plug extension cable! It’s solidly built and feels very durable — definitely not one of those flimsy cables that wear out quickly. You can tell it’s made with quality materials, which gives me peace of mind when plugging in multiple devices.It’s also very reasonably priced for the quality you get. It does exactly what it’s supposed to and feels like it will last a long time. A reliable and affordable solution for adding extra outlets where you need them most.Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sturdy and well-made extension lead!

Very nice quality lead, works for me.

VERY IMPRESSED. Bright . . Strong . . Sturdy and well worth the price . .

Nice compact reel with a coupe of nice features to include a power off at the reel and a cable feed for drawing the cable back in. Suits my domestic diy needs.
