got myself a set of 6 aluma reels. 1 oxy\acetylene, 1 propane, 1 electrical, 1 for the remote and 2 for welding cables. These are the best ever. I have worked in many adverse weather conditions with no problems at all. I have worked along side other welders that have shell-ryn reels, and they have gone down for the day because they had to clean the inside of their reels where they make electrial contact.
You can contact mitch 1(204) 774-2285 and he can give you more info on these reels

They are not too bad, though never use any type of lubricant on the reels, as they will blow.
I just don't like the way the cables especially the remote attaches to the Alumireel wiring. Not sure if Mitch fixed that quirk or not. He was in a couple of months ago.
The remote reel cable mountring has been changed, so we support these reels 100%

My question is this, why use a seperate remote/electricity reel/cord? Is this a common Canadian thing?
In the U.S.A. these are combined into one unit, using one cord the vast majority of the time. I can't imagine dragging out a seperate cord for the two.
The standard for remotes in this country is the "Cable Control Kit", sold by a very nice lady. These are pure d bulletproof remotes with two 120v outlets built in.
Just wondering.

Cable Control Kits in Bastrop Louisianna.
Phone or fax: 318-281-1833
email: Cableshrlyj@aol.com
They've been around for many years and are the standard of the industry. I've got a couple of them. They are $150 for a SA-200 (with no cord, you can use any extension cord) and about $280 for a 250 or 300 including 125' of cord. Ask for Shirley, she's a nice lady.
