Good day

The power supply to my hand tools like router, CS, sander etc, comes from the ceiling of my garage.

I made it after I got tired to watch the tool cords during work.

Note: alter the dimensions according to your ceiling height and mesuring tape length.

Thats really interesting. I use an alligator style clamp on the end of a 4' bungee for mine.

Thank you for the kind replies

I did try bungee but it was to stiff and had limited extension length.
Than, I tried dog’s retractable leash and it was too weak and could not retract the electric cord.
So, I end-up with measuring tape.
