Can anyone tell me where I can buy a romex basket. Have check Lowes and Home Depot and several local supply houses. Any help would be appreciated.

A WHAT?

Something like this?

I just bought some stuff to make my own. I can't really explain how but I have an idea in my head. Here is something else that might do the trick. http://www.assoc-elec-prod.com/wwfeatures.htm

Thanks for the pic, iwire.
So that's what Romex, looks like, I have never seen a real picture of it.

Trumpy....so you know,thats not romex.
that's mc or bx cable

I could not find a picture with RX but the basket I showed was for both.

I have seen home made versions, they used the ball bearing unit you would use under a kitchen cabinet "lazy Susan" like this


With a couple of circles of plywood, and a street safety cone in the middle to drop the RX over.

I believe Virgil had a thread on how he made his own, a coffee can version is memory serves...

When I make mine this weekend I'll send in a picture.

We have one we call a stud reeler.
It's built to hang on any 2x4 stud wall and works great on the rare occasion that we do any residential work.

So thats a basket ? Always thought it was a pay-off reel.
I have seen a couple of them one made by Cerro Steel really heavy duty and are stackable, downside is they go for about a 90 dollars.
they even have them availbable to clamp on to basement posts. If you run alot of romex they are worth the price.
