Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity of this extension reel?

This extension reel is designed for a 13-amp load. Always ensure the total power draw of all connected devices does not exceed this limit to prevent tripping the overheat protection or causing damage.

How do I reset the overheat protection?

If the overheat protection has tripped, it usually indicates an overload. Disconnect the overloaded device, wait for the unit to cool, and then press the reset button located on the reel (refer to specific markings if present).

Is this reel suitable for outdoor use?

While durable, this reel is not rated as waterproof. It can be used in outdoor settings for temporary tasks but should be protected from direct rain and moisture. Store it in a dry place after use.

What are the dimensions of the extension reel?

The dimensions are approximately 36.80cm x 21.50cm x 28.00cm.

What is the weight of the product?

The product weighs 6.34kg.

Can I replace the cable if it gets damaged?

Due to the integrated winding mechanism and safety features, replacing the cable is generally not recommended for end-users and may void the warranty. If the cable is damaged, it is safer to replace the entire unit.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Information on the specific warranty period is typically found on the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website. Eagle generally provides a warranty on their products, often for a standard period like one or two years, covering manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

No power to sockets

Check that the extension reel is properly plugged into a live mains socket. Ensure the main plug of the extension reel is not damaged. Check if the resettable overheat protection has been tripped and reset it according to the instructions.

Overheat protection trips frequently

Reduce the number of devices plugged in or the power consumption of the connected devices. Ensure the total load does not exceed the reel's 13A capacity. Check connected devices for faults.

Cable is difficult to wind or unwind

Ensure the cable is fully extended or retracted, as partial extension can sometimes cause resistance. Check for any kinks or knots in the cable. Ensure no debris is obstructing the winding mechanism.

Physical damage to the reel or cable

Cease use immediately. Inspect for the extent of the damage. If the cable is cut, frayed, or the casing is cracked, the unit should not be used and may require professional repair or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and stable A-frame design for demanding environments.
  • Four sockets offer flexible power access for multiple tools or devices.
  • Overheat protection enhances safety for connected equipment.
  • Easy cable winding and storage prevent tangles and damage.
  • Built to last with robust materials for extended use.

Cons

  • Can be heavy (6.34kg) for frequent transport or smaller tasks.
  • The A-frame design may require more storage space than compact reels.
  • Cord length is not specified, which could be a limitation for some users.
  • Only four sockets are available, which might be insufficient for very large setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply unreel the desired length of cable from the reel. Ensure the extension reel is placed on a stable, flat surface away from water or excessive moisture. Plug the reel's main plug into a suitable mains power socket.

Compatibility: This extension reel is designed to be compatible with standard 13-amp electrical devices. It is suitable for use with most tools and appliances that have standard UK plugs. Always ensure the total load of connected devices does not exceed the reel's maximum rated capacity (typically 13A).

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Inspect Regularly: Before each use, check the cable and plug for any signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or cracks. Do not use if damaged.
  2. Clean: Wipe the casing and cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  3. Storage: When not in use, fully retract the cable using the winding knob and store the reel in a dry, protected location.
  4. Overload Protection: If the overheat protection trips, identify and disconnect the overloaded device before resetting the protection and reconnecting power.
