    I had heard some criticism of this item from some who said the Wonder Winder was “light duty,” etc. I have only had mine for a couple of weeks, but I don’t get the sense that it’s light duty for my application (in a hobbyist-level dedicated woodworking shop). I might look to something a bit heftier if I were planning on retracting and extending my extension cord more than 3 or 4 times per day every day… but I can’t see this tool ever going bad under my definition of normal use (which is 1 or 2 cycles every 2 or three days).

    It’s heavily made, and yes… it’s a lot of plastic, but it’s thick plastic and doesn’t have a cheap feel to it at all.

    The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that it does protrude a long way from the wall. For me, this is no big deal… but if I were using it in a garage where I had to walk by it a lot, it would definitely be in the way.

    Overall, it works as advertised, it’s well-made, and adds to the safety of your work environment by keeping the cord off the floor. Plus, when the cord’s not getting stepped on all the time, it doesn’t get that coating of dust and grime that sometimes appears on cords that stay on the floor.

    Great idea!

    Been using this in my garage for 3 months now, works as advertised. Wraps up my 100 foot extension cord like a charm. Only scores 3 stars for the following reasons:

    1) Plastic is wearing at the cord output mouth. My cord is not always coming stratight into the front; usually it is on the side. The friction from this is wearing at the plastic (and probably my cord too). Only time will tell if this becomes a bigger problem. Seems they could have avoided this by rounding off the molding of the mouth.

    2) The unit extends out for the wall a good distance. Would like to have a swivel option to swing it out of the way. This would also improve #1.

    3) The all-plastic construction worries me. It has held up for 3 months, but I am curious to see how it is working in a year from now. It is pretty sturdy plastic, but still plastic.

    4) At nearly $27, someone is making a good profit on these things. Unless they were able to meet my #1 – #3 improvements, I feel this would be more appropriately priced at $19.99.

    I have purchased two of these. They are GREAT…after a few modifications.

    1.) Straightline sand the contact wheel. Out of the box, there just isn’t enough grip to keep the cord winding properly. But after sanding the wheel, it works MUCH easier.

    2.) Drill a small hole in the lever, and attach a 2″ compression spring between the lever and the wall. This will help apply pressure to the contact wheel, freeing one hand, and assuring an easy rewind. To unwind cord, place a chunk of 1×4 between the lever and the wall. The cord will unwind uninhibited.

    It may sound confusing and complex, but it really IS the cat’s pajamas!
