Tools and Hardware Reviews of Green Leaf WW-1 Wonder Winder Hand Crank Extension Cord Reel
Customer Review: A little quirky, but not all that bad
Summary: 3 Stars
This product works better on lightweight extension cords. It has trouble "grabbing" 14 and 12 guage cords. If the extension cords are wet forget about it, you'll have to hand-feed the cord into the holding basket because the drive wheel is just not "sticky" enough to grab the heavy cords. Even if you have to hand-feed the extension cord into the basket, which is rather tedious, this Wonder Winder is still a good option to store an extension for an electric snowblower or lawn mower.Customer Review: Awesome, easy and reliable

I own three of these tools and they are simply wonderful. For the past 2 years they have done exactly what they were meant to do - wind, contain and organize extension cord - I have 2 in my garage and 1 in my shed. I have used both orange 14/3 guage cord and yellow 12/3 guage cord. I have 150' of cord stuffed into each (1 roll of 100' and 1 roll of 50')and it handles it like a champ!!! I would suggest when you attach it to your wall to ensure drilling into the studs for a stronger bite - I replaced the screws that came with it and used some 2" galvenized deck screws to make sure I had plenty of holding strength. For best results when stowing the cord straighten it out, but, if you just don't feel like it, then don't - it will wind it up all the same. If you live in colder climates realize your cord might get a bit stiff and winding takes a little patience (i noticed i had to release and engage the tension handle a few times to get a good grip on the cord) but it has certainly been no hassle what-so-ever, saves time, keeps the garage clutter free, I never need to look for the cords and my wife loves the ease of using it when she hooks up the electric hedge trimmer. Did I mention it was a steal at $20? I would have paid as much as $40 AND I'M CHEAP!!! Awesome, easy and reliable, what more could you want out of a tool? Actually, I can think of 1 thing; would have been neat to get a swivel attachment for the wall to hook this to - THEN it would be PERFECT!!Customer Review: DID I BUY THE SAME PRODUCT AS THE 1 STARS DID??

Some time I wonder if were talking about the same product. This gizmo works great. Bought one for a trial, had to have another. I just putter around in the garage working on my old cars, and it's been great. Customer Review: AWESOME!!

BUY IT! You will not regret it! I demo it for all my friends and its like doing a magic trick-they love it and want one instantly. If you cannot operate this easy to use item then you probably can't make ice cubes. I have twelve extension cords and the wonder winder is the one the whole family uses, because it is easy and fun to use.Customer Review: Very Useful Helper

Works as decribed. Setting up requires attention to detail for botton of mesh bag. Suggest a light lubricant on mount before attaching reel unit to circular wall base. Extends and recoils cords quickly and easily. Worth the money.
