Any DIY remedy's to taking the kinks out of an extension cord? Aside from a couple of Ooops Moves and a trip to the local hardware store to get a couple male / female plugs.. The one time 50ft. Cord is full of kinks , I whined the cord up wrist to elbow method, the cord has to be about 8 yrs old now... Thanks

You may be able to lay it out in the Sun as straight as you can, then pull straight again after it heats up.
When I roll up a 50 footer, and others, I will lay it out and have the cord twist with each turn as you are wrapping around your arm, I do this quickly and you will see loops rolling torwards you, and cord will roll up with out twisting.

I recommend the use of cord reels.

You could lay them out in the sun to help get the twists out. With larger cords (100 ft) I like to roll them up more loosely than the wrist/elbow method, it is harder for them to twist up that way.
