"I bought a gate hinge and screwed one side into the wall and the other I added a square piece of 2x4 to screw the plastic mount."
"The wall mount is one of the weak points in this design, and really should be re-designed with a larger base for stability - especially when you use this to store and support the weight of a longer and heavier extension cord. With respect to functionality: so far it has worked exactly as advertised and it coils up the cord exactly as represented in the picture and in the product description. An important suggestion is to uncoil your cord and either have someone hold the other end (easiest), or secure it to an immovable object and then completely untwist it before installing it in this winder."
"The first one I received was missing parts & instructions, but the second one has all parts & pieces & instructions!"
"I'm using a SJEOW cord because its for a snow blower so maybe it doesn't work well on that type of cord but there's nothing in the product description that specified cord types other than by gage and length."
"The mounting comes loose repeatedly ( a simple rotating pin-lock that doesn't 'snap' in to lock, just keeps unlocking) The "net" which looks like a steel mesh basket is a cheap bunch of thread knotted together."
Masterplug's easy-use open reel is perfect for use in workshops, homes, yards, and light industrial applications. Power Where You Need It: 80 ft of 14/3 gauge high visibility cord with right angle plug.

"Great sturdy base keeps it in place and the soft grip handle makes it a pleasure to carry."
"We only used it for past few days in garage."
"I’m don’t like how the little green pieces that cover the plugs pop off easily, but other than that design flaw, it is an awesome product."
"Simple resistance in spinning the reel is the only con, product is great other than that."
"Vast improvement over the ones they sell at the big box stores."
"Picked this up to get electric throughout my 50ft quonset hut without adding additional receptacles."
"For price paid 25$ I cannot go wrong."

"Doing this has prevented it from tipping over, allows me to use both ends without unrolling all 100 feet of cord, and best of all lets me roll up the cord in half the time since I'm really only dealing with 50 feet when its in half."
"This is a basic plastic cord reel, nothing fancy."
"take some plastic zip ties (3 or 4 minimum) and zip tie the middle of the cord to the cord wheel. i roll with one hand and use the other to feed the incoming cord so they stay side by side and feed it evenly over the center hub of the reel."
"During the wind up then this excess cord messes up the cord being wound up."
"I was regretful at first when I purchased this because I was charged for shipping, making this more expensive than just going to Walmart and picking up a cheap one."
"The alternative, with the female end hanging out seemed like a good idea, but that leaves you with the reel and a couple of feet or wire where you are working. My leaf blower and electric chain saw both have stubby little power cords which means I would be dragging the reel behind me, up ladders, etc."
"The center placements means that the cord will get caught by the plug no matter which way the cord is wound."

"Hold cords perfectly."
"They do hold the cable in place well, I have not noticed it loosening up at all."
"I have even used one to secure the plug in end of an extension cord and it works beautifully."
"The adhesive has held up nicely so far, and I anticipate they will continue to hold as long as I don't yank on the cords excessively."
"These will tension-grab all but the thinnest cables, but especially after a bit of use, cables are very easy to pull out, which might be a problem if you want to keep pets or children from tampering."
"It's round shape allows you to align the exposed cable directions while not looking like a haphazard duct taping job."
"The Co-Funder very thoughtful, send me 2 emails just to make sure I had received the product and if I hadn't he was willing to help to track it down and have answers for the delay , 'this never happened ' I received mine on time."

Find Best Price at Amazon"and the other 2 sleeves are covering the cables that run to my sub-woofer (that being the cables for the 2 desktop units that run to it as well as power cable). - Potentially protects the cables from heat somewhat. Now I’m not sure if there's any science behind this, it simply gives me peace of mind that all the cables I believe are protected in this sleeve as all my cables run near the radiator. - High quality zipper, I have yanked and pulled these so hard to stretch around my cables I swear I thought that the cables would burst right out of the zipper but it holds up surprisingly well. That's about it for the pro's, I mean it's a cable sleeve, what more is there to say. The CON'S: - The sleeves in my opinion are a bit small, I wish they were bigger to accommodate for all my cables. - Unlike a lot of cable management sleeves out there you cannot branch off any of the cables unless you did something like cut a hole in them but I don't believe JOTO would want you doing that and if they have a warranty that would most likely void it. Once the cables are in there you will NOT get any leeway, the cables are in there for good (at least with my arrangement of a million cables in one sleeve) so you have to mess around with it until it's just right and then zip them both up hoping to god you have not messed anything up. -----------------------------------. In the end it's a cable sleeve, nothing more, nothing less."
"I just wish that more sizes would be available, shorter and longer lengths, to provide more flexibility to hide those long cables especially the power cables which come in different lengths."
"That being said, it would be nice if the sleeve itself would slide along surfaces on the outside of the cable, such as down behind my desk."
"I would buy more of these to use for cable management in places where I don't want to hide cables in the wall...the black material looks just fine as one bunch running from the TV down to the shelf."
"This is a very good product to keep all your unsightly cables hidden. Now your home entertainment area can be free of clutter and unsightly cable wires. Its a snap to use and is so worth every penny spent."
"Finally couldn't stand it anymore, ordered a couple of packs of these neat cord controllers."
"This cover is the perfect solution for my disorganized unsightly cords."
"I've used mesh wraps that seal with Velcro before stumbling upon these while shopping for a box to hide my cables and surge protector on my beautiful RH desk - and the wraps especially now in retrospect don't look good at all compared with how these sleeves fit with a hidden zipper, hugging materials and an esthetically pleasing quality finish to them- I only needed two but you can't really beat value for the price here I think!...I'll post a pic soon."

Find Best Price at Amazon"This product is the newer revision of the CMK210 which started out the flat screen/computer monitor/tv on wall mounting as it has enough channel space to hold 3 cables (TV, a/c power, computer e.g. HDMI) on the wall and still shut - internal dimentions of 7/8" x 3/8" accommodate most computer cables except those with RFI filters on them. Dimentionally, also the CMK210 gives you 3x4' pieces or 12 feet of channel while the CMK50 gives you 4x30 inches or 120 inches = 10 feet of channel, so you get some extra fittings and extra channel length in the cmk210. Wiremold also sells the other fittings as separate parts, for example this kit does not include the T connector which is a great way to escape the wiremold channel neatly - as opposed to drilling holes in it which would look messy (I do drill a v notch on the back (sticky) side when I have a wire that has been run through the wall and is entering the wiremold, but I found that the best places to enter or exit are where there is a fitting such as a corner fitting which gives you more room than the channel does, especially in the -210 version. So to sum it up -. For power/speaker cable, you get 10 feet with this kit the cmk-50 plus corner elbows. For wide channel with multiple (5+) cables you can use the cmk-30 a/v specialty. for a little longer system with more fittings and 2 extra feet the cmk-210 is almost identical to the cmk-50 (this one) but has the T connector, and on wall left/right fittings."
"These are great for hiding cables on the wall instead of drilling holes to hide your cables, you can fit about 5 cables in one, but it's a very very tight fit."
"the price is good, you do get 3-30" pieces, they work really good just peel off and stick it to the wall, the bad part is you can only fit 3-4 cables in my case I manage to get 2 HDmi, 1 power and one coaxial cable and there is no even room for air :) They measure 30" long, 1" wide and 3/8 thick."
"But...then of course many different issues arose and running the wires in that wall would cost way too much to professionally do and to do it myself well was not worth all the work and headaches. Item is very well packaged and internal dimensions of the Wiremold are 7/8" x 3/8" which can accommodate a good amount of wires. After your measurements you can use a hand hacksaw and use a little bit of sand paper if you want to clean the edges after cutting. Beware: Please shut off homes electrical panel breaker for that room prior to doing this - for safe measure test the outlet after shutting off the breaker with a outlet tester to make sure there is no power running to it. UPDATE: 23JAN18 I accidentally hit it with my laundry basket and (sad face) let me tell you...the sticky backing took a chunk out of the paint."
"Works well, had to double up the conduit to hide the amount of wires I have."
"I'm not sure how it will be to ever remove the conduit since it feels very securely stuck to the wall."

"Vastly different from the other options listed above, it is easy to apply, easy to remove, does not cause damage to cords/cables, does not rapidly degrade with age, can easily be cut (or combined) to change the size for the User's needs, and works well even when being used frequently. You have likely seen similar products at hardware stores, but generally the quantity per-package is low, and the price high. While these are lighter duty than most of the retail packages of Velcro Cord Ties are, these work perfectly for my general home-use needs and they cost about 1/10th the price."
"You receive two individual rolls with 25 ties; one gray and one black."
"Pros: Very inexpensive, easy to use, strong velcro stays in place. Cons: None. I don't know why it took me so long to buy these, but these are an absolute must for anyone who wants to organize the cables underneath their desk, TV console, or modem/router table. These velcro ties are the perfect alternative and I have no reason to go back to zipties for cable management ever again."

"I bought them to tie around some extension cords that were getting out of hand."
"My only gripe with these is that it can be a pain to untie the Velcro as the tab tends to latch on when beginning to pull the cable through."
"The only reason I took off a star was because when I got back to my car today, the glue had melted on the strap on the cords left in the sun and the layers had partially separated."
"I'd give them five stars if they cutouts used to pass the ends through the slots were cut better -- sometimes you have to pull out the hobby knife to cleanly remove them (image shows the cutouts removed which is not how they arrive)."
"I love simple resources that do their job and don't complicate other things in the process - and this is a great example of good work."
"Only complaint is that the hole part where the end gets threaded though isn't punched out or even all the way thorough on any of mine meaning i need to use something to actually finish the hole-punch job."
"The first two that I attempted to remove from the "block" they were shipped in, resulted in separated and torn strips - no longer usable."
