...not to be used with extension cords. Right ?

I get very frustrated when I find an extension cord wound up that way.
I use a very simple way to coil even a 100 ft extension so you can then
throw it out and it "uncoils" with few, if any, kinks.

This is how an audio cable is properly coiled on set. I was actually given a test over whether we could coil a cable properly. Throw it across the floor with no stray twists, you get an A.
