Depending on what gauge you need, curly extension cords (or other curly cords) are another option. http://www.acehardware.com/product/i...ductId=1286132.

I've never tried it but there also a lot of retractable power cords on the market that might be hacked to get rid of the ratchet. An example is at http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimit...98448&sr =1-1
