30ft Retractable Extension Cord Reel
Quantity:
Never deal with a tangled extension cord again. Lightkiwi's 30ft retractable cord reel pulls out as far as you need and snaps back automatically when you're done — no coiling, no tripping hazard, no mess. Mount it on the wall or ceiling with the included 180-degree swivel bracket for instant access from any direction, and tuck it out of the way when not in use.
With three outlets and a built-in 10A circuit breaker, it powers multiple devices simultaneously and cuts power automatically if anything short circuits or exceeds the rated load. Ideal for garages, workshops, home offices, laundry rooms, and anywhere a permanent outlet is out of reach.

Where People Use It
Garage & Workshop
Mount overhead on the ceiling and pull the cord down to your workbench, power tools, or car charger. The auto-retract keeps the cord off the floor and out of the way when you're done. The 30ft length covers most single-car garage setups comfortably.
Home Office & Living Spaces
Mount behind a desk or on a wall for instant access to power for laptops, monitors, lamps, and chargers — without cords running across the floor. Retract when not in use for a clean look.
Laundry Room & Kitchen
Keep a cord reel near the washer/dryer area or kitchen counter for appliances you use occasionally — irons, steamers, blenders — without permanently occupying an outlet.
Portable Use
The compact design makes it easy to take to job sites, rental properties, or anywhere temporary power is needed.
30ft vs 50ft — Which Should You Choose?
Choose 30ft if:
- Your work area is within 30ft of the outlet
- You're powering lamps, chargers, small appliances, or light-duty tools (16AWG is rated for up to 10A)
- You want a more compact unit at a lower price point
Choose 50ft if:
- You need longer reach across a larger garage, workshop, or outdoor area
- You're running power tools that draw higher amperage (14AWG handles up to 13A)
- You need an oil-resistant cord (SJTOW rating)

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the auto-retract work?
Pull the cord to the length you need — the internal spring mechanism holds it in place while you work. When you're done, give the cord a short pull and release, and it retracts automatically onto the reel.
Can I lock the cord at a specific length?
Yes. The cord stopper lets you set the maximum retract length so the cord doesn't fully retract when you release it. Useful when you want to keep a fixed amount of cord extended at all times.
What can I plug into a 16AWG 10A cord reel?
16AWG at 10A is suitable for most household appliances, lamps, chargers, fans, small power tools, and similar devices drawing up to 1,200W. For power tools drawing more than 1,200W (circular saws, air compressors, shop vacs), consider the [50ft 14AWG reel](https://www.lightkiwi.com/products/retractable-extension-cord-reel-50ft) with a 13A circuit breaker.
Can I mount it on the ceiling?
Yes. The included 180-degree swivel bracket mounts on both walls and ceilings. Ceiling mounting is popular in garages where the cord can drop straight down to the work area.
Is it safe to leave plugged in all the time?
Yes. The built-in resettable 10A circuit breaker provides overload protection. If the load exceeds 10A or a short circuit occurs, the breaker trips automatically. Press the reset button after troubleshooting to restore power.
Is this rated for outdoor use?
No. The 30ft reel is designed for indoor use. The SJTW cord is water and weather resistant, making it suitable for transport and temporary outdoor use, but it is not rated for permanent outdoor installation.
