Answers: How do you roll and store an extension cord without kinking or twisting it?

• extension cord storage
• preventing cord kinks
• chain stitch method
• cord coiling techniques

What it concludes

• Chain stitching extension cords can cause kinking, bending, and eventually breakage if done incorrectly with small loops.
• Unrolling an extension cord is much faster and saves more time than rolling it up.
• Making loops too small when coiling or chain stitching puts excessive stress and twists on the cord.
• Running too much electrical current through a wire that is too small results in voltage drop and reduced performance.
