What are Extension Leads & Reels?

Extension leads and cable reels are essential tools for safely extending the reach of your electrical power supply in homes, workshops, gardens, and construction sites. An extension lead typically features a fixed-length cable with multiple outlets, while a cable reel offers a longer, retractable cable that can be unwound as needed and stored neatly after use. Both are designed to power devices at a distance from a wall socket and come in various lengths, power ratings, and weatherproof options. Whether you're working outdoors or need extra sockets for indoor use, extension leads and reels provide a convenient, reliable, and organized power solution.

FAQ

What is the difference between an extension lead and a cable reel?


An extension lead is a fixed-length power cable with one or more sockets, while a cable reel includes a long, retractable cord that can be wound onto a reel for easy storage and adjustable length.

Can I plug an extension lead into another extension?


This is known as “daisy chaining” and is not recommended. It increases the risk of overloading, fire hazards, and voltage drop.
