Extension cable loosing flexibility
"john reeves" wrote in
: This is about those extension power leads ( usually orange coloured from B & Q etc). Quite often sold for use with electric lawn mowers. These cables seem to have 'a mind of their own' every time you reel them up and unreel them. It's like a 'memory effect' they have, ( as if they are not flexible enough ) and want to keep moving in a direction that they must have been stored in previously. This probably sounds like a minor thing. But the total time wasted and frustration trying to unravel the thing mounts up time after time. I've tried that trick sailors use in giving it a small twist every time you reel it around your arm, but its just a bit too stiff to do that successfully. Has anyone else found a good way to deal with this? It has crossed my mind that this cable is just too old and has lost what flexibility it did have once. The fact that you are crossposting makes it insincere Baz |
