An extension lead would be used in various situations and environments, including in the workplace and domestically.

Due the benefits of both extending the length and increased the sockets of a standard mains outlet. An extension lead has almost endless uses, as does an extension reel. It's impossible to list every use, but as an example, some of the applications listed below are common applications.
