A good choice for very mobile users - however, robustness is questionable.......2007-06-03

Having destroyed the supplied cable between the adapter and the splitter through abuse in my flight bag, this cable winder provided a suitable replacement. It does what it says it does - provides power from the 'brick' to the splitter and for that, it cannot be faulted too much. In keeping with other reviews here, it could have been built better and time will tell if the ribbon cable is sufficiently robust to survive the 100K+ miles I do a year. A better design would see the fragile ribbon protected at the extreme ends which are a little exposed when the cable is retracted. However, it is far tidier than the default cable and so serves the purpose of keeping the travel weight down and the bag tidier for my frequent TSA inspections...

durable space saver.......2007-05-21

my other adapters would break because i would wind the cord around the adapters to save space, plus i hate tangled cords in my bag. The travel cable winder is a perfect solution.

Handy & Convenient Overall.......2007-04-15

Convenient roll-up design helps keep the wire spaghetti down in your laptop case. Deploys and winds up quickly, and has adequate length for most applications. Decent construction; does not feel flimsy or cheap. Would be nice if you could lock it in a fixed length, as it unwinds itself from its own weight, but that could be so it does not pull out from your computer. You will get looks and comments as a gadget freak, which us geeks enjoy. I guess having all your cords and cables tied up in knots is cool? If you travel much, or just move your laptop to different plug-in locations a lot, you will enjoy having this cord. Don't pay full retail, natch!

I'll come right out and give this a 5 star rating. The amount of clutter reduction realized by this product is alone worth any hassle, and the "hassles" this reel setup brings are infinitesimal compared to the "stock" cable. The cost is reasonable if you have need, and certainly beats the crap out of dragging your laptop onto the floor by getting tangled in the supplied cable.

I apparently don't understand how to be sufficiently critical so I can write such negative and low starred reviews. The product does what it's advertised to do, any REASONABLE person would understand that you tuck the handle in to "lock" the reel.

For me, the tool DOES the job, it does it EXTREMELY well, and at a reasonable price.

What do these other people want, gold plate?

Kensington's wind up stops you getting wound up.......2007-01-09

Great idea and so much neater than the big fist full of cable that used to spring out of my laptop bag at every chance.
Top product - I think all cables should come with these windy storage boxes.
