Multi-reels are extremely easy to use.

You may be a professional at winding your long lead, but it only takes one moment of lost concentration when getting it back out and you have a tangled mess and knots to undo. You do not really need such a stress. With storage multi-reels you just, anchor the lead at one end, walk away holding the multi-reel handle and allow it to unspool, unclick your other end from the reel, plug it in and it's ready to use.

For light usage, fiberglass, light metals, wood, and plastic reels can be used for long time. For industrial purposes the reel must be made of steel, stainless steel or aluminium.
