STATUS 2 Socket Cable Reel, 5m Green Extension Lead, 13A with Thermal Cut Out, Heavy Duty Outdoor Extension Lead, S5M13ACR3

This is a great extension lead, so far have used this for my lawnmower in order to be able to reach the very end of my garden but it’s very versatile and I’m sure I will use this for much more. I like the bright colour of the cable, this is especially useful when mowing the lawn and ensures I don’t accidentally run over it with the mower. The reel design is great and easy to use to keep the wire safe and tangle free between uses. Has two UK sockets which connect easily with no issues. It’s compact and durable, stores away easily and still looks great as the day I bought it!

May update. No idea what red button is for. Permanently out! Love the bright green cable, it makes it so obvious where it is when working. Easy to unroll and roll back up. Happy with quality and price.

Great compact extension reel. Feels chunky and of good quality

Good price. Great length for garden. Easy storage. Nice color and durable

Good extension and work perfectly well, durable, no tangle

As someone who constantly needs a bit of extra reach for various DIY projects, gardening tasks, or even just setting up outdoor lights, a reliable extension reel is an absolute necessity. I recently picked up the STATUS 5-meter Double Socket Cassette Reel, and after putting it through its paces, I can confidently say it's an excellent piece of kit for the money and perfectly earns its five stars. Positives: * Compact & Portable: This is a big win for me. The cassette design means it's super easy to store without tangles and incredibly convenient to carry around. It takes up minimal space in my shed, which is always a bonus. * Just the Right Length (5M): Five meters is a sweet spot for an extension lead. It gives me enough reach for most jobs around the house and garden without having excessive, cumbersome cable to deal with. It's ideal for powering things like my electric lawnmower, hedge trimmer, or even just setting up a lamp in a tricky spot. * Double Sockets = Double Convenience: Having two sockets is surprisingly useful. I can plug in my drill and a dust extractor simultaneously, or string up some fairy lights while still having a spare socket for something else. It saves fumbling around for another extension lead. * Crucial Thermal Cut-Out: This is the most important feature for me and provides immense peace of mind. Knowing that the reel will automatically cut power if it overheats (due to being overloaded or the cable not being fully unwound) is a vital safety aspect. It's a non-negotiable for any electrical reel I buy, and STATUS has included it perfectly here. * Sturdy for its Price: For what I paid, the build quality is surprisingly solid. The plastic casing feels robust enough for regular use, and the reel mechanism is smooth, making it easy to wind the cable back up. It doesn't feel flimsy or cheap at all. Negatives: * 10 Amp Limit: While perfect for most household appliances and standard power tools, it's essential to remember it's rated at 10 Amps. This means it's not suitable for very high-power equipment like powerful heaters, welders, or multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously. You need to be mindful of what you're plugging in, but this is a specification, not a fault. * Basic Cable Thickness: The cable is perfectly adequate for the 10A rating, but it's not a heavy-duty, thick industrial-grade cable. For heavy-duty construction site use, you'd want something more robust, but for domestic DIY and garden work, it's absolutely fine. * No Individual Switches: Both sockets are live when the reel is plugged in. This is standard for a basic cassette reel, but some users might prefer individual on/off switches for each socket. Conclusion: If you're in the market for a compact, safe, and incredibly convenient extension reel for everyday household, DIY, and garden tasks, the STATUS 5-meter Double Socket Cassette Reel is an outstanding choice. Its built-in thermal cut-out is a major plus, and the dual sockets add great versatility. While it won't power an entire workshop, for general use around the home, it's a brilliant, reliable, and value-for-money piece of equipment that I'd highly recommend.

Good durable extension. Easy to rewind. Good value

Very impressive and speedy delivery (ordered at midday. ... here by 6.15pm). For the money, this is a first rate extension reel. No chance of tangling due to the design. Easy to move about the garden (I use it for my fence paint sprayer and jet wash mainly). Luminescent colour avoids a trip (you can't miss it!). Handy 4 sockets with cut out. Highly recommended. Paul

Gute Kabeltrommel in gelb für Camping! Allerdings nur in 1,5 Quadrat 3x Cu Kabel. In ausgerollten 25m ist diese aber nur bis 2,5 kw belastbar. Ansicht gute Qualität. Armin Skunde
