Abstract
A hand-held cable reel (1) is provided comprising a central cable receiving core (2) mounted between a pair of disc-like end flanges (3) having through holes (4) for receiving cable which can then be anchored on the flange (3) by, for example, wrapping it round one of the handles (6) which are offset from the core (2) and each other to facilitate the winding and unwinding of cable.

A hand-held cable reel (1) comprising a central cylindrical cable receiving core (2) mounted between a pair of end flanges (3) each flange (3) has a handle (6) projecting laterally from an outermost surface (5) of the flange (3), the handles (6) being radially offset from the central axis of the core (2) and circumferentially offset relative to each other, the handles are mounted by hinges (17), wherein each flange has a plurality of cable receiving through holes and a plurality of cable anchoring bollards (15) mounted on the outermost surface (5) of each flange (3) so that a cable may be secured by passing the cable through one of the cable receiving through holes, leading the cable around one of the bollards and passing the cable back through the same cable receiving through hole.
