It has to be held or mount to pull the cord out , it is spring load to rewind
By Jennifer Jim
Yes. As long as someone holds it for you. Hope you understand how these work. Good luck.

I suppose you could, but it might be a little awkward to hold and pull cord out to use. There might be other options for a retractable cord that can be carried and would be more convenient.

I wouldn't try it without mounting it. That is easy to do on the outside of a house or particularly inside a garage. I only have two hands, and mounting the reel makes it easy to pay out or retract the cable while using a power tool attached to the cable!

I don’t see why not, it’s just a retractable cord.
By Porter Bethune
Not really, it needs to be fixed to something, because the spring reel is strong.
By Astrid Holmes
kind of defeats the purpose. But yes, it would still retract the cord.
By Setlla Piers
Sure. But will be heavy. Good luck!
