I don’t know what kind of reels they used but they will pull you! It takes effort to put it out
And more junk.

The air hose reel I have will inflict injuries on a person that doesn't have a good hold on the hose when letting it back in, Aaron---LOL! Effort isn't too bad pulling it out, but it still takes a firm grip.
Had to do some preparation stuff for a road trip we are going on Thursday the 10th, so still didn't get any work done till mid afternoon.
Pulled the cord out of the reel far as it would go minus one wrap. Cut it off at 11' which is how wide the bridge crane is. Still plenty of cord to use the trouble light. Vise gripped the cord so it didn't take off and unwind inside! I've got a real ratty light I will throw away. Found one good female cord end and put it on. I even remembered to put the sliding ball and the end of the plug on the cord first before screwing the wires into the prongs.
Had to order some more cord ends to get the trouble light going again and build some short cords for around here. got plenty of 50-100 footers but only a couple less than 20 feet which are both in use.
Will probably have to just wrap the hoist male end and cord reel female end with electrical tape to keep them from working loose, unless anyone knows another way, besides tying a knot in the cords.

I’m thinking that’s what I need. Before I retired I had readers on the bottom with clear at the top. I could see to make wood cuts then see to walk away without staggering lol
I cut a piece or two of the wire insulation and wrap it around the cord where it gets clamped to increase the pressure.
When I first retired I got so frustrated because most of my cords were too long. I went to HF and bought a bag of their male and female ends. I got one of my long cords and made three shorter ones. Now that’s about all I use.
I seen those too lolThose Goodyear Eagles going on your Executive?
I always liked Grainger we had one near by when we lived in Cincinnati.
