VIGAER 40ft Hook and Loop Straps with 60 Buckles, Adjustable Reusable Cable Straps, Arbitrarily Cut Fixing Nylon Cinch Strap https://a.co/d/105ZAEe
Tired of all my extension cords being a pile of spaghetti, so I made a bunch of straps with this. Pretty nifty

Just loop the cords and tie it thru the middle, and connect the two ends so it doesnt unravvle.
I grew up working with my dad in construction and it was always my job to clean up or tidy up the tools.
You start the loop around ur hand and elbow and keep wrapping till u get it all and then just take one end and tighten it around the middle, then send it thru one loop and connect to the other end.
This picture doesnt show it connected, but i always do, so that junk doesnt get stuck in the outlet parts.

I’m familiar with the idea, I find straps easier tho, we used to wrap cords up like this on the job site when I was swinging a hammer:

Both daisy chaining and tying the cords will inevitably destroy them. How they are wrapped is super important, too. There is one way and only one way to wrap a cord or cable. Straps, usually velcro, are a perfectly acceptable, and preferred method, of securing said cable or cord.
Thankfully, @thesk8nmidget is a subscriber to the same ideology. Makes me crazy when I see it being done wrong! I only have two harass the other three people in the lab about doing it right. Haha

Unwinding a 100’ power cord that was wound up like that would make me want to murder someone.
That looks like a tangled mess to me when you run that cord out.

Nope. I hold a 100’ cable by the ends and throw the middle out with zero tangles or kinks. As long as you do it right, it perfect. Every. Single. Time. It also doesn’t take any longer than any other method to coil.
You can also lay it on the ground and pull from one end with zero issue. No tangles or kinks, ever. Well, I will say that if you do it wrong, you end up with an overhand knot ever 3’, and that sucks. So don’t do it wrong and improve the lifespan of your cords and cables. Make sure they lay flat when you uncoil them. Give it a shot!
Don’t knock it till you try it.

I’ll give it a shot lol. I will say we never used way nor did my pops and his cord still work. Some of em are going on 20 years now. Cords got cut before anything else ruined them in my experience.

Express Extractor Heater 3.5 to 11KW of heating Power!

Almost 400$ for the Tankless Hot water heater from Grainger ( if you like over priced shit just click the home depot link )
Home depot has it cheaper for 189$ and optional 110v and 220v, 220v is the higher flow https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rheem-Performance-3-5-kW-0-68-GPM-Point-Of-Use-Tankless-Electric-Water-Heater-RETEX-04/300758931
you can use ½" to triclamp from HFS ( Tri Clamp x Female NPT Lids Adapters | ShopHFS ) and then use triclamp to hose barb for the hosing ( Tri-Clamp to Hose Barb Stainless Steel Fittings – Emerald Gold )
You can match that Pump using a TACO Recirculation pump ( https://www.lowes.com/pd/Taco-Taco-007-F5-Pump/5002247425 ) or if you’re really trying to hodgepodge it you could use two Vevor recirculation pumps ( US $42.99 40%OFF | VEVOR RS15-6 Hot Water Recirculating Pump 110V Circulation Pump 3/4-Inch NPT 3-speed 9.5 Gpm Water Heater Recirculation Pump
https://a.aliexpress.com/_msZTUsA ) ; One for the output line and one for the return line.
You can use triclamp to 3/4 to triclamp from HFS ( Tri Clamp x Female NPT Lids Adapters | ShopHFS ) and then use triclamp to hose barb for the hosing ( Tri-Clamp to Hose Barb Stainless Steel Fittings – Emerald Gold )
The drum can be found from ULine or Google searching one which usually doesn’t come up more than 60$
The hosing can be from Amazon for 50$ for 100ft or you can get cpvc piping for cheap and hard line the system.
*Additionally, a brewery panel can be used https://www.morebeer.com/products/brewbuilt-hot-liquor-tank-controller.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiA8aOeBhCWARIsANRFrQFM1Xy5nmhPOrblHPUmYdL0IbV_o2rrqr0L1Ib4ef-3qMJLN1X9UL0aAit8EALw_wcB but that’s overkill $300 works up to 240 v 30 amps
If you wanted to go super overkill, you can find nema 7 on off switches for under 500$ - on off heavy duty nema 7 110v switch - Google Search
The stainless stand and the off on switch + green tax is the mark up but I’ve had the idea to use a drum and a Tankless Hot water heater with cpvc piping for months; I still am going to do my idea which will be better because it will be hardlined with cpvc piping
You’re welcome

I wrap up long cables and extention cords like that. And yeah they don’t/won’t tangle. But, it has to be done right. I was taught that the wire has a natural curve and to follow that when you coil it.
I also do like how @Curious_Roberto is suggesting, too. It is an easy way to coil your cables so they don’t get tangled and uncoil easily.

Only other option for me is a butterfly coil. Being a climber and rigger, I use that method for most all of my ropes. Finishing a butterfly coil would effectively damage cords and cables, but it is the easiest, fastest method for ropes. My rigging lines are 135’ long, and my climbing ropes are all 70 meters. Would take for-freaking-ever to coil any other way.

I think a good thing to note is don’t cheap out on cords. A good cord will last forever and take some abuse.

How do you mount that taco to the wall? Copper piping to unistrut?
1 Like
Alone with nothing backing behind the pump… Idk, maybe you could get wall clamps and bolt it to the wall… Personally I would make an epoxy resin panel and mount the TACO pump to the panel and mount the panel to the wall.
Son of a bitch, no one’s recommended making a rack out of that stuff.
The search bar determined this statement is false.

Literally the first thing that comes too mind if wanting to build a steel rack
