Respool the single core cable, how do you do it?

[Vell]

Hi all, at end of day, when you're getting ready to leave and you have the single core cables unspooled. Do you spool it back by hand? Isn't it tedious? Today had to spool back 15 meters of earth wire and very frustrating

Awhhhh blesss!
Depends what size it is
1.5 ? Grow a pair and deal with it
120mm. Slightly annoying, deal with it

Other option is not to reel off too much in the first place

Just saying

well the alternative is to cut off those 15mtr and throw them away. or maybe move the cable 15mtr closer to where you are working?

Clearly its just a wind-up? ....

But only if you unwound too much to start with!

Very good attempt. I can see what you tried to do there

I just attach the spool to my portable lathe and press reverse switch.
Lathe weighs 25kgs,its a bit of a faff but does the job...

I put the reel in my right hand, cable in the left, and make a kinda dad dance disco movement,

To re coil, just repeat the steps taken to uncoil it in reverse sequence.

HEATHEN. Is it coz you is a left-hooker?
I hold the reel in my LEFT hand and fiddle about ( attributes Uncle Ernie aka Keith Moon, Tommy ) with my right
