Abstract

A hand reel for use in winding electrical extension cord utilizes a central casing having a grip handle portion extending outward from an uper end thereof. Cord is wound within the casing on a spool means. The spool means is comprised of hub portions mounted at opposed sides of the casing and rotatable relative to the casing. The hubs join together within the casing along mating spool surfaces integrally formed on the hubs. Cap elements are provided along the exterior surfaces of the hubs at opposed ends of the spool. Each cap element contains an electrical receptacle connected with an interior end of the extension cord. Bar handles are formed adjacent to circumferential edges of both hubs, affording ambidextrous rotation of the spool means.
