A retracting extension cord reel apparatus includes a cord reel housing for storing an electrical extension cord. A spring motor reel half and a contact reel half form a cord winding surface and are rotatably mounted in the housing on a shaft. A return spring is positioned in a cord winding body of the spring motor reel half for automatically rewinding the extension cord. A brush block is retained in one of two shells forming the housing to maintain brushes in contact with conductive tracks on the contact reel half. The brush block includes an arm for supporting a pigtail extending between the brush block and an exterior of the housing.
