November 10, 2004—BurkTek’s Cordpro is a unique, simple, and inexpensive solution to cord and hose organization designed to eliminate the frustration of disorganized and tangled extension cords, construction power cords, water hoses, and compressed air hoses.
Cordpro is a flexible, yellow, doughnut-shaped reel that divides, stores, and dispenses extension cords without springs, ratchets, or motorized mechanisms. Because Cordpro has no moving parts it can’t break down. Unlike other automatic dispensing reels, it will hold a full 100-foot length of cord and also stores and protects cord-ends when not in use.
As the user pulls an extension cord from Cordpro, it rotates, dispensing only the amount of extension cord needed, leaving the rest nestled neatly inside the reel. As the user moves (for example, walks away from the outlet being used or cuts grass with an electric lawnmower), Cordpro will travel behind him or her and continue paying out the exact amount of cord needed. Because of the physics involved in its shape and its spinning motion while dispensing, Cordpro can “climb over” debris and other objects. When the user stops pulling, Cordpro stops dispensing the cord.
Cordpro is made of high-density polyethelyne (the same material from which pick-up truck bed liners are made). It is “welded” together at the inseam and that seam is then covered with an ergonomic rubber grip. A reinforced eyelet allows it to be hung up when not in use. It is lightweight—only 13 ounces (without cord)—yet tough enough for any job site, and suitable for outdoor use in all temperature extremes.
