I bought this heavy duty retractable power cord and the more I use it the more I like it. It is mounted on a beam that crosses the width of my garage in the center. Easily accessible. I opened the box and read the mounting directions. I could not mount it the way the instructions showed but I was able to turn the mounting plate upside down and install the retaining screw to hold it in place. You can also remove the plate mounted to the reel itself and mount just that. Definitely well designed. Now, the reason I went with the 12 AWG is I am able to plug in my 110v Wire Feed instead of having extension cords laying on the ground. It also has 3 outlet plug-ins to hook up say my welder, a 4" Grinder and a drop light if needed. Repeat: The more I use it the better I like it!
