My first issue was on assembly. The unit comes with some assembly required - simply put, you have to install the handle and the part they call the yoke. The handle winds the main pulley that reels in the cord. The yoke pushes the cord against the winder wheel to keep it in contact and promote enough friction to wind the cord. Well - the handle has a spindle or axle that goes thru the unit. On each side are two bushings that slip into two holes drilled into the body of the unit. On mine, one of the bushings was a tad too small, or the grommet that slips into it was a bit too big. So winding the unit felt too difficult. I had to use a fingernail file / emergy board (it was the best option for this) to reduce the size of the insert until it fit nicely. That and a little lithium grease and the unit operated smoothly. The design of this product is such that you can over tighten the small screw that holds it together, causing the winder to bind up. If the main pulley had a sleeve that prevented the sides of the main body from crushing against the pulley it would prevent this, but would also add complexity to the design.
But the other issue is that you need TWO hands to wind up a cord, not one. You have to pull the yoke to maintain pressure against the winding wheel while you crank the handle with the other. While this again results in a simple and elegant design, it could be improved by a simple flip lever that uses a spring to put pressure on the yoke. Flip the lever the other way and the spring is disengaged. Now I will admit that different amounts of pressure are needed depending on what you are winding and so on. 3 different springs - light, medium, and firm would help a lot and might be cost effective. I plan to use a small spring or mini-bungee to simulate this as my simple cord for my leaf blower and other items will likely work just fine. You can do the same if you want/need one-handed operation.
Last thought - the inlet of the unit is great, allowing for smooth inflow of any cord. I found that in my garage, the cord would drag along the garage door track. This was easily solved with a short 7 to 8 inch section of PVC pipe with some smooth edge fittings. The inlet of the main body of this unit is ALMOST identical to a 2 inch standard PVC pipe. Which means that a 2 inch PVC pipe coupling almost fits over it perfectly. But the inlet isn't quite round and the coupling has to be forced on. If the design were improved so that the inlet was the standard size as a 2 inch PVC pipe, it would make the unit easily expandable using off-the-shelf PVC parts, allowing you to reel in cord around simple corners and such. You couldn't add much length but it would add value and functionality to an already great product.
Overall though, for the price paid you really can't go wrong. And a nice touch - they included two of the mounting brackets so you can put your cord in two convenient places. I assume you could buy more of these mounts too - making this reel pretty portable and more functional.
►Installation:
Installation is relatively straightforward and no surprises for me. You'll want to mount the bracket directly onto a 2x4 or some other sturdy item in your area. The WW-1's main body does require some assembly - installing the hand crank (either left or right side cranking is user selected); installing the choke. I had this up on my wall and ready for the cord in about ten minutes.
►100ft Cord:
Exactly as advertised the WW-1 can handle a standard duty, outdoor rated, 100-foot extension cord. My initial attempt to wind the cord wasn't very promising but after getting the first couple loops started the rest fell into place. The instructions do make it clear that the cord should be laid out and free of any kinks before winding. I did my best to do that but on a cold day the cord was still a little tough in spots. My advice with this product is to put your extension cord through it a few times first. I found that as I used my cord and wound it back into the WW-1 it got easier to make a perfect spiral as the cord develops a sort of memory.
I was looking at some more expensive metal cord winding options but I'm glad I gave this product a try first. It works perfectly and saved me more than a few bucks. Very satisfied and I'd buy this product again!
This allows the handle to be mounted on the right or left, depending on your preference. There are also 2 wall mount plates that you can secure anywhere you find you need to hang an extension cord. One in the garage, maybe one in the back yard..
Then you disconnect the winder and take it to where the other bracket is secured and reattach it. I have pulled out all 100 feet and it winds it back up better then I EVER could, no twists or kinks... MY advise is let the cord lay out in the hot sun so it relaxes. Then once it is wound it will always rewind the same way..
The bag that holds the cord could be a little heavier duty as it seems a little flimsy, but so far has held up for 6 months.
This makes me more likely to use something that requires an extension cord because it pulls out so easily.
