  1. Can this be ceiling mounted? Is the retract stop adjustable so it can be reached from a 10ft ceiling?

    1. Ours is ceiling mounted. We used washers to ensure the bracket wouldn't come loose from the bolts holding it to the ceiling, but yes, it can be ceiling mounted. Also Yes, the stop is adjustable. Our garage ceiling is over 10' and we simply unscrewed the ball/stop and moved it to a new location.

  2. Will the reel retract if mounted horizontally rather than vertically, such as under a workbench?

    3. One of mine is mounted on the garage door lift brackets at an angle and plugged into the same outlet as the operator. I adjusted the stop ball so I could reach it. It has worked flawlessly in all temps for several years. I have others mounted high on the upright steel posts in a metal building. also unheated. Stop balls adjusted about 7 ft up on the cord so I can reach them. All have worked fine and held up with no problems. Move the cable side to side a little while retracting to let it lay in the reel properly.

    1. The cord will lock in place on this product.

      Helpful?

      Helpful?

  10. Is the cord Oil resistance?

    1. One of my reels is used in a very busy (sometimes quite messy/oily) shop and I've seen no deterioration due to oil. I simply allow the cord to reel itself back in while I hold a shop towel around it to clean periodically. Just like any other heavy duty extension cord.

      Helpful?

    2. The cord is not oil resistant. The cord and taps must be kept dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
