Extension Cable Reel STANLEY IMT33147 — 25 m, 3×1.5 mm², IP44

STANLEY IMT33147 — 25 m extension cable reel with a 3×1.5 mm² multi-core cable and IP44 protection rating designed for temporary power distribution. The compact reel stores a 25-metre cord that supports a range of handheld tools and light equipment. IP44 splash protection makes the reel suitable for workshop and outdoor tasks where occasional moisture or splashes may occur. The product is intended to provide a safe, retractable cable solution for site work, garden maintenance and domestic projects requiring extended reach from a fixed socket.

Advantages

The STANLEY cable reel offers a long 25 m length for extended reach and a flexible 3×1.5 mm² cable suitable for many power tools and small appliances. Its IP44 rating provides protection against water splashes and solid objects greater than 1 mm, improving safety in damp environments. The reel construction allows organised storage, reduced trip hazards and easier transport between work locations. With a manageable weight and recognized brand reliability, it is designed for frequent temporary use.

Suitable for

• Powering handheld electric tools (drills, sanders, small saws) on construction sites and in workshops
• Garden and outdoor tasks where splash-resistant cable protection is needed
• Domestic renovations, lighting and temporary power for small appliances
• Temporary power distribution for events, market stalls or service work

When it may not be suitable

This cable reel is intended for temporary power distribution and light to medium loads; it is not designed for continuous heavy industrial loads or equipment that requires larger conductor cross-sections. The IP44 rating protects against splashes but is not suitable for full submersion or prolonged exposure to heavy rain without additional protection. For fixed installations or permanent outdoor wiring, a professional installer and products rated for permanent outdoor use should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 25 m
• Conductor configuration: 3 cores
• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² per core
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash and solid object protection)
• Weight: 7.23 kg
• Suitable for temporary power distribution and outdoor splash-prone environments

How to use

Unwind the required length of cable from the reel and position the reel on a stable, dry surface. Connect the plug to a suitably rated socket and ensure the connected device does not exceed the current rating of the cable and plugs. Avoid running the reel fully wound when powering higher loads to prevent overheating; extend more cable to reduce heat buildup according to manufacturer guidance. Keep the reel and connectors clear of standing water and store the reel coiled on the drum when not in use to protect the cable and maintain organised storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 1.5 mm² conductors are suitable for the power draw of your tools and appliances
• Assess if IP44 splash protection meets the environmental conditions of intended use
• Consider the 25 m length and 7.23 kg weight for portability and storage requirements
• Verify that temporary use is acceptable for your application rather than a permanent wiring solution

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, extend as much cable as practical when running higher loads, avoid coiling under load, keep connectors dry, and inspect the cable and reel for damage before each use. If in doubt about load capacity or permanent outdoor installation, consult a qualified electrician.
