Edit (3/21): Just dropped to $19.97.
YMMV. The .97 price tag indicates it is clearance markdown from the store manager.
Select Costco Warehouse Stores have this Extreme 50 FT AWG 12/3 SJEOOW extension cord on
clearance price now - $29.97 (was $39.99 on sale). See my
previous post.
Best flexible extension cord (basically the US Wire brand, made in the USA), SJEOOW. Check photos for details. Has one lighted plug-in end.
If you just want a cheap (lower quality, less flexible) extension cord, this is NOT for you. There are plenty of cheap SJTW cords out there. Select Costco stores carry a two-pack Prime Wire 30 ft SJTW extension cords for $24.99 at my store (see
this post posted by SharkStyle).

SJEOOW indicates:
SJ - Service Junior rated at 300 VAC
E - Thermoplastic Elastomer
OO - Oil-resistant insulation and outer jacket
W - Weather-resistant for outdoor use

Saw these at one store last week for $39.97, but only a handful left.

I think you're asking about a cord reel?
Some people have successfully hacked the air reels to take power cords but that's not something I was willing to do even though I'm very capable. Just wanted something that worked instead of jerry rigging things.
edit- For some reason I put 'automatic' in my head. You won't find automatic reels for that cost as far as I know. A manual reel though, DIY. Bucket and things. YouTube it. I purchased and installed automatic/power reels.
I got a 100' 12/3, and I need a sturdy *reel* for it. The ones I've seen cost well over $100. If anyone knows of a *high-quality* good deal for a 100 ft. cord *reel* (edit), please pass it along. ty

The one store here that still has an entire pallet of them is down to $19.97 as of Tuesday or Wednesday. Wonder what the odds for $14.97 or even $9.97 are. Costco will never buy these again. Their shoppers are too stupid to know the difference between a cheap cord and a top of the line, truly all weather cord.

The store I returned my three un-opened/$39.99 sale priced ones to last night suddenly had another half pallet of them marked down to $19.97. Two or three weeks ago, they only had a dozen or so at the $29.97 price. Other store still had an entire pallet Wednesday when they got marked down.
