New accessory for power cord storage

Rockler Woodworking and Hardware introduced the Magnetic Cord Keeper, a rare Earth-magnetic clip that keeps unplugged power tool cords off the ground and out of the way.

"Loose, unplugged cords can be a problem in any shop," Rockler vice president of product development Steve Krohmer said in a statement. "The Magnetic Cord Keeper picks a cord off the ground and stows it on the tool keeping it always within reach, and preventing damage to the cord when moving tools."

The cord keeper has a 5/16" opening that holds a standard-thickness power cord. It can also hold pens, pencils or drill chucks.

A pack of two Magnetic Cord Keepers sells for $7.99. For information, visit www.rockler.com.
