Seal Reel

Bringing Commercial Power to Consumers

The Seal Reel was introduced in 2018 by APC Group Inc., a U.S.-based leader in retractable power cord reels, marking the company’s first foray into the consumer market. Building on a legacy of professional-grade solutions—starting with the Arctic Leash (2000–2003), followed by the MedReel (2004), Kitchen Leash (2008), and Marine Leash (2012)—APC recognized the growing demand for a high-quality, durable cord reel that could bring commercial-grade performance to residential homes and small businesses. Homeowners and small business owners often faced challenges with standard extension cords, which lacked the durability, safety, and convenience needed for frequent use in garages, workshops, small offices, or retail spaces. The Seal Reel was developed to bridge this gap, offering a consumer-friendly solution with the same reliability APC is known for.

Engineering for Everyday Durability

The development of the Seal Reel focused on adapting APC’s commercial-grade technology for consumer use, ensuring it was both durable and easy to use. APC’s engineers designed the reel with a watertight, retractable structure, featuring a compact, reinforced case that resists moisture, dust, and light impact—perfect for home garages, workshops, or small business environments. Available in lengths from 10 to 30 feet, the Seal Reel was built to power everyday devices like power tools, shop vacs, or retail displays, with a capacity suitable for consumer needs. It was rigorously tested to meet UL and CSA standards, ensuring safety and reliability for residential and small business use. The reel’s user-friendly design, including a simple tug-to-retract mechanism and flexible mounting options, made it accessible for non-professionals while maintaining APC’s high standards.

Empowering Home and Small Business Use

Since its launch, the Seal Reel has become a trusted tool for homeowners and small business owners across the U.S. and Canada. In home garages, it powers tools like drills, saws, or shop vacs, keeping cords off the floor to prevent tripping hazards during DIY projects. In small workshops, it supports crafting or repair tasks, providing reliable power without the clutter of traditional cords. Small businesses, such as retail stores or cafes, use the Seal Reel to power displays, lighting, or small appliances, with its weatherproof design ensuring durability in semi-outdoor spaces like patios or storage areas. Its compact size and sleek design make it a practical addition to any home or small business, offering the same commercial-grade performance APC is known for in a consumer-friendly package.

A New Standard for Consumer Power

The Seal Reel’s introduction in 2018 expanded APC Group Inc.’s reach into the consumer market, bringing its legacy of engineering excellence to a new audience. As the latest product in APC’s lineup, it reflects the company’s commitment to innovation, adapting its proven technology for everyday use. The Seal Reel continues to evolve, with APC incorporating feedback from consumers to enhance its features and usability. Distributed through retailers, specialty distributors, and online platforms, the Seal Reel has set a new standard for consumer power management, empowering homeowners and small business owners to tackle their projects with confidence and safety.
