The 6 Best Cord spools (2023 reviews)

If you often find yourself scrambling for good spool, bayco cord spool should be your first option for buying. This one is defiantly a cheaply made knock off. It is easy to wind and unwind 16/3 extension cords up to 100 feet in length. Plug capture holes allow you to store the outlet end of your extension cord for ease of access. It is constructed of shatter and temperature resistant thermoplastic for long life. The black part that you hold doesn't rotate/glide effortlessly like the ones from back in the day. This is very handy for outdoor extension cords, keeping them from tangling and being a total mess next time you wish to use them. This is a very sturdy and good reel.

Best With wheel: Woods Cord spool

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate spool. The woods cord spool is exactly that - it's a simple spool that hits all the right notes. It makes it very very hard to wrap a thick or stiff cord around it neatly, and without large gaps that take up too much space. It clips securely and it feels very solid. The reel and housing is so light weight, that you need to push down on it, lean on it, or stand on it to hold it down, in order to neatly and easily reel in any sized cord.

Each strand is 150 lights, and this reel holds about 5 strands or so. It is great for it’s intended use but not a backwash hose. It works well to wrap a thick or stiff cord around it neatly, and without large gaps that take up too much space.
