Cord Reel Conversion

This is a part that can be used to upgrade a cheap Home Depot cord reel so the output receptacle is contained inside the spool for easy winding and unwinding to any desired length.

Drill a hole using a 1-1/2" hole saw, slide the cord in place, and attach using this part and a 3/8-16 bolt (tip: drill a smaller hole opposite for the hex key).

One of the photos shows it installed without the cord. This is just for illustration - the cord needs to be inserted before screwing into place.
