They don't. Widowmakers are unkillable.
To determine if a cord is male or female, look at the end of the cord that is not plugged into anything. If the end is flat with small metal tabs, it is female. If the end is round with a small hole in the center, it is male.
A cord reel is a handy tool that helps you to keep your cords organized and tidy. It works by winding the cord around the reel, and then you can use the handle to wind it back up. This keeps the cord from getting tangled and makes it easy to store.
A cord retractor is a device that is used to automatically draw a cord or cable into a housing. The device typically consists of a spring-loaded spool that is mounted on a wall or other surface. The cord or cable is wound around the spool and held in place by a latch. When the cord or cable is pulled, the spring-loaded spool unwinds and draws the cord or cable into the housing.

In between the assembly's two parts are the instructions. You must first open it; a sticker instructs you to pull apart firmly at the clasping end (see photo 2). There is a tab, but there are no cues to pull up, push in, or do anything (see photo 1). There are magnets inside the assembly that help hold it closed, so you must push in extremely strongly AND pry away very forcefully. The tab is being pulled apart with such force that you are certain the assembly will break because you are unaware of this at this time. After taking it apart, you may read the instructions. You might need to remove some plastic spacers (see photo 4) and then replace them with the spacers given for the 45 W charge (60 W spacers are inserted as you get it, remove them for 85 W, change out for 45 W). The reinsertion instructions are displayed in Photo 5. You must match the number on the spacer with a number on the inside of the turning part because every spacer is different. It was really challenging to locate and read the numerals inside. Molded numbers with the same color plastic are recessed into a compartment close to the magnet. To find them, I had to use the iPhone's magnifying feature and turn on the light. When I was only directly beneath a bright lamp, I was unable to notice these. You could be careful to indicate where the 65W spacers came from when you remove them, but the instructions make no mention of doing this, so I just popped them all out. I imagined it would be simpler to notice the notation on the turning wheel. After inserting the spacers, line up the clamshell's two sides, and then seal the lid by pressing down hard to engage the tab. The AC-brick thick cable and the brick-magsafe thin chord will then wind up on the outer perimeter as you wind up by turning the central handle. It takes some practice to pull simultaneously on both wires to unwind, and you should be cautious when tugging on the magsafe cord. I wish I could merely yank the thicker AC-brick cord to unwind it. This required far too much effort to put together. Good instructions on how to open the clamshell should be printed on the outside of the gadget. This will definitely come in handy while I'm traveling.

The tiny lights in my window are the perfect size for the miniature porcelain dwellings I have. The bulb fits through the little holes that are given in the back and bottom of the house without any problems, but the metal component that holds it in place is a little large. Whatever, a little plier crimping took care of the problem. Making the plug end "chainable" or stackable like Christmas lights would be the only thing they could do to make them better. I have six tiny houses on my window sill, and if I could stack them, I could use fewer outlets and less extension cords. The only other option is a power strip, but that takes up a lot of space for six nightlights with modest wattages.

I'm using 50 feet of soft plastic tubing with a small diameter for my mother's oxygen machine. It was challenging to hand wrap because it twisted, crushed, and was tough to accomplish with family members who lack fine motor skills. I purchased two different designs: this pricey (to me) one and a much less expensive orange plastic one with the "center spin handle" built right into the spool itself, without any framework or base. That was difficult to hold and organize. For my use as a spool, this was expensive ($22.94), but it was definitely worth it. I'm sorry, but I'm unable to speak to the electrical plug part, but everything else is great.The cord doesn't twist or collapse any longer, it's really well made, robust, and it works perfectly for my repurposed application. We may use it for our outdoor heavy duty extension cords as designed until we finally no longer need it for the oxygen condenser. If I can, I'll attempt to provide images later.

Exquisite Design: The cord winder is compatible with 45W / 60W / 61W Apple MacBook Power Chargers, but NOT compatible with 29W / 85W / 87W MacBook chargers. Note: Power charger or power extension cord is NOT Included.
Save Time and Space: Wind up your charger in about 5 seconds. Your bag is so much more organized and has a lot more freed up space. Save the pain of messy tangled cords. Eliminates the headache of dealing with the power cable and makes it fit in your bag.
Note: The portable cable winder may NOT be compatible with Non-original Mac Chargers, because the Charger Dimension/ Cable Thickness/ Line out Position may be different.
Flexible Length: Adjust to the desired length ( 1 foot to 12 feet) while staying organized. SWARK charger winder can better protects your cable from fraying. Note: You have to do the winding by hand.
Christmas / Birthday Gift: Got one for your brother, dad, colleagues, friends etc. It would be very useful to someone who can’t be bothered wrapping their cords, and is on the go with their charger often. No more messy cord to untangle!

I have a lot of classes to teach, so I leave the lengthy power chord connected to my MacBook Air charger because I can't predict how close the power source will be.The charger transformer's ears are encircled by the low voltage cable. (Even though I've tucked the end inside the wrap, sometimes it unwinds and other times it stays in place.) However, the line voltage cable is the issue. The captive velcro strap I've used works well, although the bundle is quite big.The SWARK reel is an elegant and practical solution that facilitates travel. The cables wrap around the reel, and the transformer (power supply) fits in the center. Simply open the reel, insert the power supply, shut the reel, and wound it up. (View images.) The reel comes in high-quality packaging and has a cotton carrying cover as well.I've included a few pictures; the first two show the packing and carrying case, and the third depicts the situation "before" (how I've been working). and the SWARK reel solution is shown in the others.Not all Mac power supplies will fit in the reel, it should be noted. Make sure it is compatible with your Mac by reading the advertisement.

The flat extensions on both sides of the reel make it easy to assemble (the two sides simply snap and lock together), and it is very light weight. It handles 100 feet of 14 gauge extension cord very well, stands securely upright with cord on reel, and the outside handle is positioned well for reeling in your cord.Cons: At first, I found it difficult to grasp onto the inside handle without scraping my wrist, but I eventually learned to crane my wrist slightly when holding the reel.Overall, it's a very straightforward tool that performs effectively.

I have a lot of these, both with and without stands, from Woods and other manufacturers (Bayco, etc.). Although I've had the Baycos for years and they're still in fine shape, I prefer the Woods' knob for simpler windup. It glides nicely on its own, but whenever I can, I also lubricate everything with silicone spray (little suggestion.)BEST OF ALL, I wanted to demonstrate here how well they function with generator cables and extension cords with 10 AWG (both 3- and 4-conductor) as well. Photos depict three reels (without stands.) The 25' of yellow FLAT 10/4 AWG 30 AMP generator cable on the right side fits well. 50' red 10/3 triple-tap extension cord is shown in the middle of the image. Also perfectly fits. A 50-foot extension cord for a regular (i.e. ROUND) 10/4 AWG 30 AMP generator is located to the left. Although it doesn't completely fit into the reel, it does fit close enough that coiling the cord and just wrapping it in some Velcro straps is made much simpler by the reel. Therefore, I still think it's worth it even for the 50' 10/4 cable. Additionally, the reels seem strong enough to endure the harder cranking required to reel up the cables.fantastic stuff I'm ecstatic with them. As soon as I have the opportunity, I intend to purchase a couple more for my backup generator and Christmas lights!

I had a reel with a frame for a cord to be wrapped around it. A 100' cord has around 50 twists because each wrap adds one twist and uses about 2 feet of cord. It all becomes a little jumbled.Molding bumps prevented the KW-110 from turning one full revolution smoothly when it first arrived. I cut them out with a good knife. It winds and unwinds perfectly without twisting. If the sliding surfaces get dusty, it won't operate as smoothly, but the open design should make it simple to maintain.Update: My 100' cord totally filled the reel. I was worried that it wouldn't fit if I didn't wind it gently (by crisscrossing it too much). For my 100' cord, I purchased a KW-130, and I use a KW-110 for my 50' cord. Since there is room to spare on both reels, I don't need to wound carefully.

(At least those who don't utter the phrase "piece of garbage!" about EVERYTHING! I'm beginning to believe that the same 6 individuals who have trouble using products they purchase, read the instructions, or follow advice from reviews are the same individuals. I couldn't figure out how to wind up the outdoor extension cord I bought for and it didn't come with instructions, so I tried the "middle of the cord method," as many people suggested, and after some initial difficulty getting to the middle of a 100' cord (made of 2 50' cords; I had thought it would only hold one of them, then I had so much space left, I unspooled, connected them,

A male to male cord is used to connect two devices with male ports. This could be used to connect a computer to a printer, for example.
A death cord is a small, black string that is used to tie off the umbilical cord of a newborn baby. It is also known as a ligature.
A retractable cord is a power cord that can be extended and retracted. It is often used with portable electronic devices such as laptops, cell phones, and digital cameras. The cord can be extended to the desired length and then retracted when not in use. This makes it convenient for travel and storage.
A Widowmaker cord is a length of rope that is used to tie off a climbing anchor. It is also used to secure a climber to the anchor. The name comes from the fact that if the cord breaks, the climber will fall to their death.
The answer is simple: cord keepers! Cord keepers are small, lightweight devices that you can attach to the end of your cords. They have a small opening that you can thread the cord through, and then they close shut. This keeps the cord from being able to move around and become tangled.
