Retractable Extension Cord Reel 50ft
Quantity:
Lightkiwi's 50ft heavy-duty retractable cord reel is built for demanding jobs — large garages, workshops, home renovations, and anywhere you need serious reach with serious power. The 14AWG SJTOW cord handles up to 13A and is rated for oil, water, and weather resistance, making it durable enough for professional and trades use. Pull out as much cord as you need, and let it snap back automatically when you're done.
Three outlets with LED power indicator let you run multiple tools or devices simultaneously. The 180-degree swivel wall or ceiling mount keeps the reel out of the way and lets the cord pull from any direction without binding.

Where People Use It
Large Garages & Workshops
50ft of reach covers large two-car garages, full workshops, and work areas where the outlet is far from the workzone.14AWG handles circular saws, jigsaws, routers, shop vacs, and other demanding power tools without voltage drop.
Home Renovation & Construction
Bring power to any corner of a room during renovation work. The SJTOW oil-resistant cord holds up to construction environments where standard cords deteriorate quickly.
Home & Living Spaces
For larger homes, the 50ft reach spans living rooms, home theaters, and large kitchens — mounting above the action and retracting cleanly when not in use.
Off-Site & Portable Use
Lightweight enough to take to job sites, rental properties, or outdoor events where temporary power is needed across a larger area.
30ft vs 50ft — Which Should You Choose?
Choose 50ft if:
- You need reach beyond 30ft or across a large space
- You're running power tools that draw over 10A (circular saws, air compressors, shop vacs)
- You need an oil-resistant cord for workshop or construction use (SJTOW vs SJTW)
- You want maximum flexibility for occasional longer runs
Choose 30ft if:
- Your work area is within 30ft of the outlet
- You're powering lighter loads — lamps, chargers, small appliances
- You want a more compact, lower-cost option

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. Give the cord a short pull and release to retract automatically onto the reel.
What is the difference between SJTOW and SJTW cord?
SJTOW (used on the 50ft reel) is rated for oil, water, and weather resistance — the "O" indicates oil resistance, making it more durable in workshop and construction environments. SJTW (used on the 30ft reel) is rated for water and weather but not oil. For garage and workshop use, SJTOW is the better choice.
What tools can I run on a 14AWG 13A cord reel?
14AWG at 13A handles up to 1,560W continuously — suitable for circular saws, jigsaws, routers, drills, shop vacs, air compressors (under 13A draw), and most power tools. Always check your tool's amperage rating before use.
Can I mount it on the ceiling?
Yes. The 180-degree swivel bracket mounts on walls and ceilings. Ceiling mounting is the most popular choice in garages, as the cord drops straight down to the work area and retracts overhead when done.
Is it safe to leave plugged in?
Yes. The built-in resettable 13A circuit breaker provides automatic overload protection. If the load exceeds 13A or a short circuit occurs, the breaker trips automatically.
Is this rated for outdoor use?
No. Designed for indoor use. The SJTOW cord is oil, water, and weather resistant for durability in tough indoor environments and transport, but is not rated for permanent outdoor installation.
