A device to easily and safely rotate a spool of wire from a vertical position that it is typically stored and transported in, to a horizontal position for unwinding. The device includes a platform and a rotating holder that can rotate between a vertical and horizontal orientation. The rotating platform includes two sides with a spool holder extending from one side. The spool holder includes a first support and a second support. Each support includes a clamp for engaging or disengaging from the spool.

An apparatus is provided for unwinding pool coves from reels for their deployment. The apparatus provides a portable driver having a motor and gearbox that turn a rotating driver mechanism that connects to a spool on a portable deployer. The weight of the portable driver anchors and stabilizes the portable deployer so the apparatus will resist movement and will pull the cover toward the apparatus when a rope attached to the cover is wound on the spool.

A spool apparatus is described to include in one particular example a cable spool with a first cylindrical lip and a second cylindrical lip on an opposite side of the cable spool. A center of the spool includes a clutch bearing in the center of both the first cylindrical lip and the second cylindrical lip that provides a rotational axis for the cable spool to rotate around. The apparatus may also include a feed slot near the first cylindrical lip that provides a passage for cable to pass from the second cylindrical lip to the first cylindrical lip.

A reel handler system includes a first arm and a second arm. A first member is coupled to the first arm and a second member is coupled to the second arm. A sleeve has the members movably positioned therein. A first bracket has a first link coupled to the first arm and a second link coupled to the sleeve. The links are pivotable relative to one another. A second bracket has a third link coupled to the second arm and a fourth link coupled to the sleeve. The third and fourth links are pivotable relative to one another. The brackets are movable to increase and decrease a distance between the arms from a first configuration in which the first and third links are spaced a first distance apart from the sleeve and a second configuration in which the first and third links are spaced a second distance apart from the sleeve.

A wire management device includes a base, a cover body, and a wire management slot. The cover body is configured to move away from the base to an open position and toward the base to a closed position. The wire management slot is located between the base and the cover body. When the cover body is in the open position, the wire management slot is exposed by a gap between the base and the cover body. When the cover body is in the closed position, the gap is closed so that the wire management slot is located in a sheltered space formed by the base and the cover body.

A hose reel can be attached to a compressed air tank of an air compressor to provide pneumatic hose storage directly at the compressor. The hose reel includes a bracket that attaches to the compressed air tank with a strap. The bracket supports a hose reel about which the pneumatic hose can be wrapped. Once installed, the hose reel keeps the pneumatic hose neatly on the reel and ready for use. If the compressor is a portable compressor, since the hose reel attaches to the compressed air tank of the compressor, the hose reel becomes portable, along with the compressor itself.
