How to Roll up an Extension Cord. GOOD ONE!

[@KaniFuker-Sir]

Exactly the way i was taught as a lad, my mother is one for leaving kinks and twists in leads and hose pipes. Even though i've shown her enough times maybe i should sit her down in front of this video and make her watch it all day. Great video mate.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Kani Fuker Kinks in the lead drives me nuts! Do it mate. Get her a good cup of tea, sit her down, play the vid. Cheers :-)

[@KaniFuker-Sir]

Haha I'm fencing round there tomorrow so may just stick the Htc one M8 in front of her when she's not looking. With the cuppa mind.

I have a 20 metre extension cord I've owned for probably close to 30 years now. I keep it on an old garden hose reel that I repurposed for the task after the water connection broke. I bought a new, longer extension cord about a year ago and have done the same with that as well. works perfectly for me and keeps my extension cords neat and tidy.

[@ThePa1nterhowto]

Good one Uncle Knackers, I've spent 30 years rolling those bloody things out and I have to say you taught me something. I will be sure to use that method from now on,

[@daytripper7815]

Teach me Master...... I've had a bunch of these leads rolled up all over the shop. Took all of 5 mins to get them looking 'similar' to yours. Thanks again for the tip Uncle Knackers. Champion.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers mate :-)

[@LiamBehan-mi8kr]

😃 cheers buddy 👍. This will make life so much more easier now. Wish I seen this 8 year's ago. Hope you're all good 👍

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Yeah all good here thanks mate....same to you 👍👍

[@mburknoe]

You should know this is ab absolutely brilliant! I saw this a few years ago and have been using it ever since. I love it! Thanks so much sir!

[@youmeuswe9723]

Now if only I could figure out how to untangle and store my xmas light! Thanks for the videos Shane! Their awesome,

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Dina and l feel your pain re the xmas lights. What a pain!! Cheers

[@big_0]

That's a pretty slick tip.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks for the comment Paul. The length of the cord is fine for all your regular building tools. Have never had any trouble. Cheers mate

[@pxdcunha]

Great Tips for all DIY users. I love to watch your videos, its so simple and so very helpful. Great job. Keep it up. And thanks for helpful tips.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Paul. Glad you like them. Cheers mate

[@KenRadManRaddon]

Well done looks a lot easier than some of the ways I've tried.

[@VBEd666]

That's a bloody great tip. Cheers mate, VB Ed.

[@LANELLEHOLT40]

Another good one! Thanks!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

+Orris Holt No worries Orris. Thanks for watching :-)

[@wilitrunjackson9946]

Used you tip to build a work bench and it turned out beautiful. It's a little bit larger than yours 40" x 88" and I finshed it with clear lacquer and grey on the legs and frame. It's almost too nice to use as a work table. Thanks for your tip.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

That's great Wiltrun! It sounds awesome. I know what you mean about it being to good to use as a workbench:-) You almost have to splash some paint over it to get over the feeling of it being so nice. How about you post a couple of pics of it on my DIY For Knuckleheads Facebook page? I'd love to see it and l know all the other followers on the page would like to check it out too. Here's the link just in case you want to. facebook.com/DiyForKnuckleheads?ref=h Cheers mate.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Hi pbaylis1, just letting you know that l use these leads everyday and they last me for years so it doesn't hurt them that much. Thanks for the comment. Cheers mate.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks for the comment Josh. Mate l have a list of 'to do' video's a mile long so l will eventually get to the mudding up of Drywall :) Mate since my last video (where l wasted a dozen stubbies of beer!!!) l have become very careful with the precious beverage...Cheers mate.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks for the comment annieb. I know what you mean and l take your suggestion on board about the camera. Unforunately l only have an ancient camera which lets me down in the visual and audio department. One day l'll upgrade. Hopefully soon. Cheers

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks ordonezno, appreciate the comment. Cheers mate

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Mate, it's a piece of cake. Have a go.

[@billyboden2584]

great tips for the diyers and so much comical fun keep it up I like it a lot thanks for the tips

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers Billy, much appreciated mate:-)

[@jackr4262]

Great tip knaaaackers. I am a fellow tradesman and always look around for helpful "trade secrets" or tips and you have been the best so far. I watched all your videos and I work as a trim carpenter on long island, New York and i was wondering how come you don't have a good mudding drywall video after installation. P.S. make sure you don't spill your beer.

[@shaneconlan100]

Thanks for the tips Thomas. Cheers mate

[@barryroberts6470]

Great video, i'll have to give that a go as my leads get a bit tangled and it does my head in to unravel em, so hopefully this does the trick. Thanks. Barry.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Tangled leads used to be the bane of my life! Give it a go mate, it really works. Cheers Barry.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

I'm with you there brother. Well, probably not hate, but l know where you're coming from. Cheers, mate.

[@adamdurbin20]

Great tips from entertaining videos!! 👍👍👌

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Adam Durbin Thanks Adam. Glad you liked it mate. Cheers

[@dadndave47]

"more tangles than a Max Walker convention" ... great mate !!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Good onya mate. Appreciate that.

[@stephenhopkins9541]

Thank-You for sharing.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

No worries mate!....thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks panagee. Cheers mate

[@danb4394]

this the first time i see that. thanks for the cool tips

[@diyforknuckleheads]

No worries Dan. Thanks for watching. Cheers mate

[@johnwaalkes1836]

We always daisy chained them when I was an apprentice. If your journeyman caught you rolling up a cord, it would probably earn you a dope slap! :) I still daisy chain mine, you never know when a journeyman is lurking about...

[@jimbola77]

nice method!!!!

[@kwizmon]

Nice. However I prefer the chain stich method as shown by the Essential Crasftsman. But whatever works right?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Spot on Kris....whatever works for you mate 😁🇦🇺👍

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Cheers

[@VeritasConquers]

Nice video! It looks like a great way to keep extension cords. Quick question regarding storage. I keep about 4 extension cords (25ft, 50ft, 100ft, 100ft) coiled and hanging on hooks in my workshop. How is the best way to hang a cord that's wrapped this way without it hanging down a meter, or would you recommend I just do 4 wide and let each hang down a meter rather than 2 wide and 2 that I have now?

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks Dave. To keep the cords relaxed l would leave them hang down a metre. Cheers :-)

[@VeritasConquers]

+shaneconlan1 will do, thanks for the reply! Happy belated Father's Day as well!

[@joekimtkd]

You are really smart. ;) also you are look alike John Travolta. Thank you.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Thanks mate :-)

[@adammckenzie8769]

What is best to start them when there brand new and don’t want to bend and shape the way u want them to cause they come rolled up super small bunch and it is hard to train them to start with.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

It just takes a while Adam for the lead to loosen up 👍

[@diyforknuckleheads]

G'day old son. The missus is fine, thanks for asking. Mate l've said it before, times are tough over here. Cable drums? Oh for a cable drum. Maybe one day.

[@davidcooper6704]

Good one mate. I'll tell the wife. She can do it while I have a beer.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

😂😂😂👊

[@bughat1]

Love the cable rollup!!!! The only site i watch more than yours is hotbabesdotcom.Not one of em can roll up a cable though.

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Good stuff Glen! That's right mate, l bet they can't roll up a lead:-) Cheers mate

[@diyforknuckleheads]

Hey Al, great minds think alike mate:)

[@dunch88]

I've been doing this from the first day I started twenty years ago. You can keep that chain link method

[@diyforknuckleheads]

+dunch88 I'm with ya Dunch :-)

[@ernestbaca306]

like your tips, it is kind of like.......duh cool

[@BobMuir100]

Who the heck is “Max Walker”? How did you choose the name for these videos? Bob England

[@diyforknuckleheads]

G'day Bob. Max was a tall, gangly, Aussie Cricketer from back in the seventies who they nicknamed "Tangles" because of his awkward bowling style 👍

[@BobMuir100]

@@diyforknuckleheads Thanks mate, I am now educated!

[@waterssolar5025]

you should go wireless on that electric banjo of yours!

[@vlineguy]

that's the way I do it to,

[@Scotchegz]

I'm just happy if your not an elbow wrapper i hate elbow wrappers...

[@pbaylis1]

Cool, but throwing and bullwhipping the leads can't be that good for them in the long run.

[@RubbinRobbin]

just like a rock climber

[@diyforknuckleheads]

I've always said that if l was to go rock climbing, l would pack an extension cord as a safety rope because they tend to snag on everything:-) Cheers RubbinRobbin and thanks for watching.

[@RubbinRobbin]

you make so much sense it's scary. Add a grapnel and a harness to your utility..errr. toolbelt!

[@diyforknuckleheads]

RubbinRobbin You're and ideas man RubbinRobbin:-)
