How Do You Coil An Extension Cord?
Storing extension cords can be a real nightmare. More often than not, you walk into your storage room and find the cords intertwined in a large knotted mess. There’s an easy way to prevent this from happening, and it costs very little. You might be able to get what you need for free. The following article will give you a simple idea for coiling and storing your extension cords. Purchase or find a five gallon bucket. You can find these at any hardware store and you can sometimes get them for free from restaurants. Drill a hole through one side (near the bottom) of the bucket. Make sure the hole is large enough for the extension cord head to pass through. Poke the one head of the cord through the hole, and coil the rest of the cord inside the bucket. Make sure you hug the side walls, the cord should coil nicely and easily. Plug the two ends together until the cord is needed for use. This will prevent any tangles or unraveling.
