Product Information

Full details

The SecureFix Direct Octagonal Cable Tidy Reel is an essential storage solution for anyone managing long electrical leads, such as caravan enthusiasts, EV owners, and gardeners. It provides the key benefit of tangle-free cable management, keeping your workspace or storage area organized and your cables protected from kinks. The primary caveat is that it is designed for manual winding, meaning it requires physical effort to coil your cables after use compared to automatic retracting systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this hold any type of cable?

It is designed for standard electrical leads, including caravan hook-ups and garden extension cords. It may not fit excessively thick industrial or multicore cables.

Does it have a locking mechanism?

No, this is a manual storage reel. The cable is held in place by friction when fully wound.

What is the maximum cable length?

It is designed to hold up to 25 meters of standard-gauge cable.

Is it weatherproof?

The reel is made of durable plastic, but it is intended for storage; it is best to keep it in dry conditions to protect the cables stored on it.

Does it come with a cable?

No, this product is the empty tidy reel only.

How much does it weigh?

The empty reel weighs 0.466kg.

Troubleshooting

The handle feels stiff or difficult to turn

Check for debris or dirt caught in the rotating handle hinge and clear it with a damp cloth.

Cable keeps slipping off the reel

Ensure you are feeding the cable evenly across the width of the reel as you wind it.

Reel moves while winding

Place the reel on a flat, non-slip surface or hold the central fixed handle firmly with one hand while winding with the other.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents cable damage and kinking
  • Extremely lightweight for easy portability
  • Stable octagonal design prevents accidental rolling
  • Ergonomic handle allows for quick winding

Cons

  • Manual winding only
  • Not suitable for extremely thick industrial cables
  • Plastic construction may crack under extreme impact
  • No built-in locking mechanism for the cable end

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the reel, ensure the cable is free from existing knots. Insert the end of your cable through the provided gap, then begin turning the edge handle in a consistent direction. For maintenance, keep the reel clean from dirt and debris to ensure the rotation remains smooth. While the unit is durable, avoid leaving it in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods to prevent plastic brittleness. When not in use, ensure the cable is fully wound to avoid dangling leads, and store the reel in a dry environment to protect your cables from moisture.
