I plugged a LOT of tools into one of those cord reel thingies one time and melted the crud out of the cord that was reeled up inside it...

This post is so far off topic, I wonder if you were "sleep posting"? :blink: 3:28 AM..... I donno? :laughing:
In his first picture he is using one of those cord reel thingies...
Him being somewhat 'new' to this - He ought to know / be told that IF he tries to pull too much power through one of things while the cord is still rolled up inside it - He CAN easily melt the cord...
All it takes is to plugin something like a small compressor and a few lights and you got a problem waiting to happen... :yes:
Those things are not quite so bad so long as you unwind ALL the cord before trying to pull a lot of power through them. When left coiled up the heat builds QUICKLY. :thumbsup:
