    Here's some advice. The next time you let it retract and it races back to the reel, and it takes you with it, let go as soon as you can.

        I have one for an extension cord. Haven't used it in a while but I think I am going to hang it in the shed so I have oner out there. Supposedly you are supposed to pull them all the way out so they don't overheat. I used mine for a couple years after I got it mostly retracted and it was never a problem.

        The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment.
