For years now I have been tripping over the extention cord to my battery tender.

Then it finally dawned on me (which I call a "DUH" moment) that I have an additional outlet right next to my garage door opener that I've NEVER used for anything.

So I bought this 30ft retractable power cord at Costco for $39. It also came with a shoplight attachment.

Viola....no more tripping on my tender cord, plus I have an easy retractable power source for the center of my garaqe.

Can't believe it took me this many years to do this.

 

5" of snow here in Longview, WA. My bike is hooked up just like yours.

Let's move to AZ!!!!

 

Great idea! Now I can add something else to my Things to do List.

 

Congratulations! Close that garage door, there's a good chap - making me shiver just looking at your pic!

 

What's that white stuff on your cars??? Florida was made for winter.

 

This Thread looks Familiar here .. Looks like a Great idea but I don't have any outlets up in the ceiling ..

 

Got my 50' retractable cord reel for BDay 2-yrs ago...it's a must in the garage. Mine's set-up just like yours and yes - make for better bike storage.

 

Man am I so not looking forward to that. It's 60 deg here in Boston today. In the past we've had snow deeper then that by Thanksgiving. We've been extremely lucky so far.....

Nice work, I especially like the cup holder for the tender. Very innovative....

 

I can't believe you found anything branded "Snap-on" for $39!! Great idea, I have one of those outlets also and have looking at doing that for last 1.5 years. Maybe this winter I will stop procrastinating on that project. Maybe......

 

Yep...AZ is sounding good today. 7 inches and 15 degrees up here this morning. But blue skies and beautiful.
