Neat Cord Reels
Another of those great semi idiot proof knot avoidance gadgets. I purchased these after many frustrating hours spent untangling extension cords that people that I've worked with have turned into huge knots. The only downside to these, is the occasional loss of the snap on stand, which in my opinion is not really needed.
I usually coil these differently than what is pictured. I leave the male end in the top section with about 6 feet of cord coiled and I coil the female end on the main body. Reason- I go to where I need power with cord reel and lay down the Female end and uncoil towards power outlet/generator, once at outlet put coil down and then uncoil enough from the male end to reach outlet, Leaving excess cord coiled on reel.
(Note, this is not really recommended as a heavily used cord can overheat, better to uncoil cord completely)
