HDX FSCR02 Heavy-Duty Extension Cord Storage Reel 150 ft 16/3 Polypropylene
The HDX FSCR02 Heavy-Duty Cord Storage Reel keeps extension cords organized, tangle-free, and ready to deploy on the jobsite. The center spin handle winds and unwinds cord quickly, while plug capture holes on the reel hold the outlet end of the cord securely in place for easy access. Constructed from shatter-resistant, temperature-resistant polypropylene for long-lasting durability. A built-in stand keeps the unit upright for hands-free storage and dispensing. Holds up to 150 ft of 16/3 extension cord.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this reel hold heavier cords like 12/3 or 10/3?
The FSCR02 is rated for up to 150 ft of 16/3 cord. Heavier gauge cords (12/3, 10/3) have a larger diameter per foot, which means they will take up more space on the reel and reduce the total length it can hold. A 12/3 cord may fit 100–120 ft depending on the cord’s exact outer diameter; a 10/3 cord will fit less. If you regularly use heavy-gauge cords, check the reel’s inner diameter against your cord’s OD before purchasing.
Can I dispense cord from the reel while it is plugged in and under load?
Yes — the hand-slide mechanism allows you to unwind only the length of cord needed for a given task without fully unwinding the reel. However, when using an extension cord that is partially wound on the reel under load (current flowing), heat can build up in the coiled portion of the cord. For high-current applications (power tools, compressors), fully unwind the cord before use to prevent heat buildup and potential insulation damage. This applies to all cord reels regardless of brand.
Is this reel compatible with outdoor use?
The polypropylene body is shatter and temperature resistant, making it suitable for outdoor storage and transport. It does not appear to be IP-rated for water ingress, so store it out of direct rain when not in use. The reel itself is a storage and organization device — the weather rating of the extension cord stored on it determines its suitability for outdoor electrical use.
