Rated to 125VAC \/ 1500W max. Dry indoor use only. Available in 40ft\/16AWG (8A), 50ft\/14AWG (13A), and 50ft\/12AWG (15A).

Circuit Breaker — Wall, Ceiling, or Floor Mount.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA loose extension cord on the shop floor creates a trip hazard, tangles around equipment, and degrades at the plug end from repeated coiling. This reel mounts to the wall, ceiling, or floor and auto-rewinds the cord with a slow-retraction system that prevents the cord from snapping back and damaging the plug or outlets. The 180° swivel bracket rotates to direct the cord toward the work area without binding at the reel entry. Three LED-lit outlets make connections visible in low-light shop conditions. The built-in circuit breaker protects against overload up to 1500W — trips before the cord overheats. The auto-guide system lays the cord onto the drum in even layers to prevent tangling on the next pull. Dry indoor use only — not rated for outdoor or wet environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XGTQ80PdPGI\" title=\"Giraffe Tools Retractable Extension Cord Reel Overview\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen style=\"max-width:100%; display:block; margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSee it in action\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- EVIDENCE IMAGE: Macro close-up of 3 LED-lit outlets, circuit breaker reset button, and 180° swivel bracket mechanism — place near H3 --\u003e\n\u003c!-- Alt text: \"Giraffe Tools extension cord reel 3 LED outlets, circuit breaker reset button, and 180-degree swivel bracket close-up\" --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReel, Cord \u0026amp; Electrical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon specifications (all variants):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCord Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e SJT 3-conductor — flexible, durable, rated for workshop use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead-in Cord:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Wattage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 × LED-lit power outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverload Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in circuit breaker — manual reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetraction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring-driven auto-rewind with slow retraction and auto-guide system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwivel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180° bracket rotation — wall, ceiling, or floor mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Impact-resistant polypropylene reel, metal bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracket Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.31\" × 5.48\" × 1.37\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse Environment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry indoors only — not rated for outdoor or wet use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Giraffe Tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariant-specific specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40ft \/ 16AWG (SKU: DE1016AWGUS):\u003c\/strong\u003e 8A max — 11.2 lbs (5.1 kg) — 12.79\" × 5.75\" × 10.95\".
