Is this cord flexible when you roll it back up or does it have a mind of its own and kink?

As a 50 foot cord it is pretty manageable. It is the medium duty, heavy gauge wire so it can certainly can get in a tussle if you let it. The heavy duty cords are the real bear. If you are running 15 amps or less this is the cord you want. Anything more than 15 amps you need the next size up. Less than 10 amps, you may want to step down and get the more flexible cord at a higher gauge.

It rolls to however you want it. It does not fight back or roll back...it's almost like rubber as oppose to hard plastic that fights back.

If you know how to roll up an extension cord, this one rolls up nicely and doesn't kink. All extension cords develop twists as you roll them up. so

It's wired. The cord does seem to have plenty of length tho'. Didn't have to 'stretch' with it.

If you understand that extension cords, like other forms of wire, as well as hoses, are manufactured in "coils", and like to return to their natural state when storing you'll be OK. You just have to let them naturally coil, as you wind it up. It will involve a little twisting by you, to get the wire to neatly coil, but it's not a big deal at all.

It feels like a vinyl coated cord. I've had mine for almost 4 months and I love it being able to hang out my sheets and washable blankets. The only thing that worries me is the plastic tension arm... I don't know how long that will hold up being the unit is outside.

I have to tie the end of the cord around the handles of my yard power tools so with all the twisting the cord does kink near the female receiptacle end. Also, never use your cocked elbow as a form to wrap the cord when winding it up to stow. Cords have memories and will maintain these bends. These contribute to kinking. Despite not using this winding method, I notice that unless I entend the cord out. it still has a tendency to twist a bit if not kink

I doubt that it is flexible enough for what you want to do. It has a spiral wire molded into its fairly thick sidewall.

The chord is a plug in, clear and coiled so if you have a short distance, 8", or less, it hangs tight. If you need to go a greater distance it will stretch. Nice feature.

It is flexible. Depending on what application however, the adhesive back may not 'stay' ie if curved or angled.

The cord tends to get kinked in its nifty holder, but I've measured ours twice and both times it was around 6ft long, give or take an inch.

No. And another thing... i love it... but there is something irritating my workers hate should be fixed/adjusted in newer versions - after you are plugged in you can't get more cord out (without unplugging, walking back to bucket, and pulling out the extra cord you need). The idea (and work around) is to carry the bucket to the farthest point where you will need it. Then you are good. OR, when you get started just unroll all the cord till you are done. Then you are good too. And it is so easy to roll it back up!

I haven't run into any flexibility problems with this cable. The only problem I run into with cables of this type is the connector is too large to fit into some USB ports. This cable has not had that problem so far.

There is a "stopper" on the cord which leaves about 12 inches of cord plus the plug exposed. In all honesty, I seldom retract the cord. I figured it would be a part that wears out quickly, so I just coil the cord.

It's flexible enough that it won't break unless you really try to break it. I've used mine and it works great.

It is very flexible. think of it as a fine rope. Very sturdy and strong. doesn't fray when working with it.

Not and have it retain shape and performance it's flexible and can be bent some but mine has a kink in it from how it rides in my jeep

For me it was pretty stiff, i moved it around a couple times and it didn't move a bit. And i mean once you settle it in place, why would it matter? (PS. I used 16-gauge wires and it makes it pretty tight and that could be why it's stiff for me.)

No it is not that responsive it is more meant to hold the cables until needed. Not to extend and return repeatedly
