Product Information

Full details

The Masterplug 20m Weatherproof Case Reel is ideal for homeowners, gardeners, and DIY enthusiasts who require a safe, extended power source for outdoor tools like lawnmowers and pressure washers. Its key benefit is the IP54-rated protection against dust and moisture, ensuring reliable performance in varied weather conditions; however, users should note that the unit requires a manual reset if the internal thermal cut-out triggers due to overloading.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I leave this outside in the rain?

The IP54 rating means it is protected against water splashes from any direction, but it should not be submerged in water or left out in heavy, sustained rainfall for long periods.

What should I do if the power cuts out?

Disconnect your appliances, wait a few minutes for the unit to cool, then press the reset button on the drum.

Is the cable reel compatible with all garden tools?

Yes, provided the total load does not exceed the maximum current rating of 13A.

Does the warranty cover the entire unit?

The unit includes a one-year manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Why is it recommended to unspool the full length of the cable?

When a cable is coiled, it can act as an inductor and generate heat under heavy loads; fully unspooling helps dissipate this heat effectively.

Troubleshooting

Power is not reaching the connected tool.

Check if the thermal cut-out has been triggered. If so, unplug the device and press the reset button after it has cooled down.

The cable is difficult to pull out or rewind.

Ensure the cable is not snagged within the drum and that the wind handle is fully engaged.

Plug does not fit into the socket.

Check for debris inside the shuttered sockets or ensure the plug pins are aligned correctly with the safety shutters.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-visibility cable for added safety and easy identification
  • Shuttered sockets enhance protection against debris or accidental insertion
  • Stable base design prevents the unit from tipping over during use
  • Manufactured to strict BS EN 61242 safety standards

Cons

  • Requires manual reset of thermal cut-out after overheating
  • Heavier than standard indoor extension leads due to protective casing
  • 20-metre cable may require manual effort to rewind evenly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, place the unit on a flat surface and pull the required length of cable from the drum. Ensure the plug is firmly inserted into a standard 13A mains outlet. To store, simply turn the integrated handle to wind the cable back into the case, keeping the workspace tidy.

Care instructions include keeping the reel away from standing water and periodically inspecting the cable for signs of wear or cuts. Because this is a weather-rated device, keep the casing closed when not in use. Always store the unit in a dry environment during long periods of inactivity to maintain the integrity of the seals.
