They die from handling: dragged over gravel, crushed under a toolbox, knotted in the bottom of a locker, nicked on a trailer. Wound onto the Multi-Reel, the cord travels held in place instead of loose, and the petals turn as you wind so it isn't scraped over a hard edge every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt's obvious to use.\u003c\/strong\u003e No spring, no ratchet, no mechanism to jam.

Waterproof and outdoor rated. Carbon-infused against UV. Clear plugs so the terminations can be checked at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore about our 15 amp extension leads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we make them the way we do\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlat Out sold cable reels for 24 years without selling a single lead. The reason was simple: there was no point. If the lead in the box was the same lead you could buy at the hardware store, why would we put our name on it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat changed is that we found people who make leads for events, mining and industry. We asked them to build that lead in caravan lengths, with caravan fittings. That's what's on this Multi-Reel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is silicone rubber rather than PVC, so it stays flexible when it's cold instead of turning into a coil of memory wire, and it lies flat where you put it rather than looping up to catch a toe. The plugs are clear so you can see the terminations before you plug in. The jacket is carbon-infused, which is what makes it UV stable, and also why it's black. Colour comes from the Multi-Reel it's wound on, not the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlways run the whole lead out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA coiled lead under load builds heat, which is why every electrician will tell you to unwind it fully before you use it. It's also why the plug sits where it does on a Multi-Reel: you physically can't use the lead while it's still wound on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunning it out takes about ten seconds. Anchor the plug end at the post, hold the handle, and walk to the van. Winding it back is the same trick in reverse, which is the part you'll appreciate on a cold morning when everything else is already hitched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Multi-Reel does for you\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cable reel that keeps a lead off the ground is useful. This one does a bit more than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's flat, so it stores on its side in a locker or against the wall of a boot instead of taking up a cube of space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt stacks. Compact reels clip front to front with other Compact reels and strap together, so your lead, your water hose and your sullage hose travel as one tidy block.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt protects the lead. The petals turn as you wind, so the cable isn't dragged over a hard edge every trip, which is what shortens the life of most leads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone can use it. Hand it to a kid, a mate or an apprentice and there's nothing to explain and nothing to damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you searched for an extension cord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the same thing.
