Product Information

The newest ultra-modern Master plug model allows campers to have a powerful way to extend cables up to 25 meters at a time. The winding reel makes it easy to store the cable in a way that prevents it from getting tangled. The cable itself seemed fine to me, but the outer housing probably wouldn’t take much of a beating, so you’ll have to be careful about dropping or standing on it. I also wouldn’t ever use this outside in wet conditions. In terms of the all-weather suitability, this will also vary widely from one extension cable to the next. Typically, the rugged types that are designed for use on tough outdoor jobs will handle tough weather (as well as higher amp usage). Unless you buy a weatherproof cable reel, you should never attempt to use a cable reel in the rain or on wet ground. Cable reels are not meant to be used as permanent electric supplies for outbuildings or gardens and should only be used to temporarily power devices. With diameters of 160mm tall and 135mm wide at the base, this Safemore product is nice and compact, and the modern design actually makes this a cool looking device to have on top of the coffee table, or even under the parasol of your patio garden furniture.

When fully wound, the cable has a maximum current of 3 amps, or 720 watts, which isn’t a great deal and probably wouldn’t be enough to run your lawnmower without getting too hot. However, once you unwind the cable, that maximum current jumps to 10 amps (2400 watts) which is much more practical and should allow you to run two electric garden tools at the same time without issue. Your electrical hook-ups need to be powerful and consistent so you can rely on this supply of energy wherever you go. Camping leads that are not sold by reliable retailers may not be constructed of sound wiring, causing cables to short-circuit and stop working completely.

Being IP54 rated means it’s protected from water spray in any direction by law. Needless to say, electric and water don’t mix so when you are done with your power outside, absolutely ensure you unplug the power inside the house first and disconnect any electric from the unit if it’s been splashed or you got caught out and rained on etc. Don’t make the mistake of thinking waterproof means safe! An absolute golden tip is to stand your power reel upright and have the plugs facing down vertically so water runs down and off the plug. If you just lay it on its side water has a far better chance of getting in! Outdoor enthusiasts and DIY fans will be pleased to see how easily this product lets them work and enjoy their property from now on. The 25 Metre 13 Amp Orange Outdoor Extension Cable by Status is tough enough to handle a variety of uses, from powering your outdoor lighting to letting you cut the grass or trim the hedge safely.

The vast majority of these cables are for strictly temporary use, even those that come with a sturdy enclosure and can be fitted to an outdoor wall. You certainly don’t want to set one up as a permanent power supply to a garage or summer house. This advanced and powerful tower charger is a good camping extension lead to bring with you on any big or small adventure. It can be a fun way to go “glamping”, as it has 8 main outlets and 4 USB chargers that can be used at the same time to keep all of your devices charged up. Although this is advertised as ‘heavy duty’, you should take it with a very large pinch of salt. The plastic used for the casing and other parts isn’t the best, and in some parts felt a bit loose or less than robust. An open cable reel is built with a metal frame that stands on the floor and a drum that holds the extension lead wound around it. You can pull the extension cord out or hold the handle and walk with it to where you need to go.With high quality extension leads and plenty of related products from top manufacturers such as Eveready and Energizer, you can feel confident that each of our items will be safe, durable and ideal for the job at hand. While it is not a long extension device like the others on this list, it still makes the cut as one of the top 10 camping extension leads of 2021 due to the fact that it so conveniently plugs into the car. It is an effective charger for road trips or modern camping experiences. as far as safety is concerned I have only seen one issue – a user tried to charge up their car and it melted the plug. Long before that happened the fuse should have blown so I am not quite sure what happened there but most cars charge on 30 Amps or more, and since this cable is only rated for your standard 13 Amp household, I highly advise not to misuse the product. It is certainly not safe beyond its rating! Pros: The cable is surprisingly flexible, and I ran into no big issues with winding and unwinding it, although there is something to keep in mind. To get the most use out of a cable reel, you need to fully unwind it. for example, fully wound, the maximum current on this model is 1200W. Fully unwound it is 3120W. So, you have to fully unwind 50 metres of cable to use it safely with multiple appliances at the same time.
