Masterplug Pro-XT 40m Four Socket 13A Large Metal Open Cable Reel

The Masterplug Pro-XT is a heavy-duty open cable reel designed to provide portable power for tools and equipment in various settings. Its primary function is to safely extend electrical power up to 40 metres from a standard UK 3-pin socket, featuring four individual 13-amp outlets on a robust, open-frame metal drum. This design allows the high-visibility yellow cable to be paid out as needed and easily wound back in, making it a practical solution for sites where power access is distant or temporary. Constructed with a large metal drum for durability, the reel includes several key safety and convenience features. Four safety-shuttered sockets help prevent accidental insertion of foreign objects, while an integrated thermal cut-out automatically disconnects power if the cable overheats—particularly important when the cable is fully wound on the reel under load. A local power switch and LED indicator provide control and status at the reel itself, and an ergonomic handle with a pull-out drum assist makes winding the cable straightforward. The cable guide helps prevent tangling during use and retrieval. This cable reel is well-suited for tradespeople, builders, and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, portable power source for tools on construction sites, in workshops, or for garden projects. Its robust build and safety features make it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use in professional environments, while the 40-metre cable length offers significant flexibility in positioning equipment. The open-reel design also aids in cooling during extended use compared to enclosed reels, contributing to its overall longevity and safe operation.
