Masterplug Pro-XT Four Socket Open Cable Reel Extension Lead with Winding Handle, Thermal Cut Out and Power Switch, 25 Metres High Visibility Cable , Green

I bought this 20/12/22.Its stood up to the longevity test, we have used this whilst camping, out in the awning, in the house, when the lighting Ring had a fault, but we still had power sockets, used it as a main light in most rooms until the Ring failure was was located by the electrician finally fixed.We used it in the garden for hedge cutters & charging power tools.Now The 2 Plumbers working here, are currently using it right now, to repipe water to my bathroom into the loft space, instead of all round the walls, to create a Wet-Room for me, they both think it is such a great, useful, robust bit of kit, they are both going to purchase one each on pay day, when the Boss has paid them!Honestly, You can’t get a much more thorough product testing, by holding back, to be sure you fully put this item to good use over a decent period of time.Only then, give a full & frank review.Well I can assure you all, it has definitely been well & truly tested in many ways & over 10+ months of use, with the added bonus that its currently as I write this, also being used in a professional setting too!!The 7 different people here, who have all used it multiple times & for varying reasons, all give it a:-10⭐️ for design features, the light is great idea, (Brand owners, we need more like it with longer cables to please!).Great in the caravan awning, but limited placement due to length of cable, needs to be longer, so we don’t have to lay the cable under the caravan on the pitch..10⭐️ for bright HiViz cable & decent cable Length, sturdy cable winding holder on its reverse.10⭐️ for the kick stand also on its reverse & its very stable, good light brightness, for working in tight/Large spaces.Currently the 2 professional plumbers both agree, they are both currently hanging out a hand from my loft hatch, each with a gloved-coveralled thumbs up!!10⭐️ for the handle that is also robust enough to be hung up high on a hook to use light & a power cable at the same time, as is the kick stand able to be hung from a hook, permitting it to shine down 90° towards the floor or over a work bench/area, still bright enough light, for more detailed type work..SO Final opinion:-Having given it light use & very rugged use, add to that Professional working conditions use, All 7 persons opinions, are true daily life/daily strife uses, we haven’t found any reasons not to like any of its features.As it’s very solidly built, very well thought out, good functionality points, implemented by the designer.We all Would definitely purchase another if they did a longer cable, then we could have one for home DIY etc & a longer one for the caravan & when the girls go camping.This would allow use to be able to hang it from a hook above the table & chairs for meals, rainy day, card or board games etc, one extra feature the designer might consider on the next one with a longer cable, would be a small remote control key ring to clip on the caravan key, for turning the light on from a short distance away from the awning on approach to the caravan/tent pitch in the dark, as I know many caravaners that would swoop in & grab some stock of the longer cable & remote light fob options, as would many tent campers on electric hook up pitches too..But these are purely optional extras rather than “improvements”, as the item is fabulous as it is & very functional & robust.The other suggestions are to make it a great back up/secondary option for bigger garden jobs/pitches requiring longer cable length etc!Please take a moments Caution!!Purely to consider My sugestions for hanging!!Please be safe!!The 2 HOOKS we have used for it to be hung up high/90° angle over head SAFELY are 2 of the stainless Steel S shape butcher type hooks, that you can hang/hold up 3kg+ of weight safely, the item is not heavy, but when you plug in an item allowing the cable to hang, that is additional weight, also please do not over stretch any cables hanging from this, 1 hook would be plenty, but we use 2, 1 each end of the handle/kick stand, for stability, just to be sure peeps this may not be recommended by the brand, or by health & safety rules, everyone must avoid/prevent any risk of injury, by being sensible, to the product & yourself.I am not saying that this is recommended by anyone, but it is how we have safely & sturdily used it in our awning, house when we had mains lights not working, we used 2 hooks to prevent knocks/movement of it, also if someone/something snagged the un-looped power cable, which in some rooms was hardly needed, but for safety has to be unwound before use!The hooks we used then prevented any chance of cable stretching any where near either ends or middle of the HiViz power cable, for every safety reason known to man!!.I do hope my thoroughly tried & tested, informatively written review, the full long term uses we have needed it for, over the last 10+ months & everyone heres experiences of their use of this item, with their exerts added freely, from all of our family members & then by the now “multiplying plumbers” here, which now stands at 3 professional Plumbers in my home,🤣 many thanks to (Ben, Ken & Jo).This review has been written freely & without any incentives, I just like to give praise where praise is due, where the Brand & Product itself has absolutely functioned above & beyond expectations, so it has fully earned it, but also that it stood up to a family of 5 is a good product, now add the now 3 plumbers, its clearly been made to gold standard build strength.Where the item still after 10 months of regular use, but Still looks as good as it did, upon day of delivery & removal from its box, where it was put straight to use in an emergency, when our main lights Ring failed!I feel that, When a product does what it says on the box/tin & much more, then writing an honest review is Never a Chore!!I hope this helps those who have the time to read it, hope you have a fab day👍🏻

Very Useful and Good Quality ExtensionThis 10-meter extension plug is super helpful around the house. The length is perfect for when I need power far from a socket, like in the garden or around the garage.The cord feels strong and not too thin. The plug fits tight and works with all my devices. I’ve used it for my tools, laptop, even a heater, and had no problems.Really happy with it—works well, feels safe, and the length makes things so much easier.

Here’s a refined version of your review, optimized for an Amazon post:The **Masterplug Pro-XT 10m Cassette Cable Reel** is a well-designed, **compact, and sturdy** extension reel that’s perfect for home and light DIY use. The **high-visibility green cable** makes it easy to spot, reducing trip hazards, and the **10-meter length** provides great flexibility for various tasks.✅ **Pros:**✔️ **Neat & Compact Design** – The cassette-style reel keeps the cable tidy and tangle-free.✔️ **10m High-Visibility Cable** – Easy to see, helping to prevent accidents.✔️ **Four Sockets & Power Switch** – Convenient for running multiple devices at once.✔️ **Smooth Winding Handle** – Easy to retract the cable after use.✔️ **Built-in Thermal Cut-Out** – Prevents overheating for added safety.⚠️ **Things to Consider:**🔹 **Not for Heavy-Duty Use** – Works well for general appliances but may not handle high-powered tools.🔹 **Manual Winding** – The handle works smoothly, but an automatic retract feature would be a bonus.

I have used this continuously to charge a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle at 2.2kw/hr, it’s worked perfectly.The only complaint I have is with rolling back the wires, it can easily tangle and become very difficult to rollback properly.

Good value for the money, A bit bigger than my last extension but seems well made.

My wife bought this to be honest, as I work overseas and she wanted a cable reel to reach someway down my garden to plug in a WiFi camera to watch some of the animal garden visitors. Covid has turned my wife into a bit of a fan of watching the local wildlife. I suspect she isn't the only one.Bit of a line 5 here, but pre-covid we didn't really notice much of what went on around our garden and the local woods. Because we - or rather my wife - has had more time, we've noticed far more around us than we realised. Covid is grim but there are small benefits.Anyway, as I was away when my wife wanted this she sent me the link to make sure it wasn't a dodgy cheapo one that would go up in flames. As the brand is known and the price is relatively high for the 50m I figured it must be okay.When I got home I then had a good look and yep, this is a well made, high quality and robust cable reel. It's also very long at 50m - at least the one we have - and that makes it very useful.The cable is of course bright and visible - no bad thing for sure.It appears to be made of high grade materials and I hope should last a good long time.The reel itself is robust and whilst a little stiff at first it seems fine now. I would add that I have also bought the wall mount which makes rolling this up easier than doing it by hand. As the wall mounts are less than £4 each I've three of them around my house so wherever the cable reel is used, it's out of the way of damage.Overall a very good bit of kit.

Allows me to use my vax and hoover for the car end of the garden. Life saver for someone living in a flat/apartment. The bright "toxic" colour of the cable should mean that nobody should trip over this. But do yourself a favour and order a budget doormat for a fiver and lay it over the cable if its going to go over a public or communal footpath. Saves yourself picking up an old lady off the floor.
