Anyone have an idea of what the best cord winder would be for 12 or 14 gauge extension cords? Getting real tired of rolling up on my arm and want something simple to roll and store my cords.

Wonder Winder, have a 75' 12 ga rolled up in mine. I will warn you that when the cord gets wet it doesn't wind back worth a snot. You do have to have somewhere to mount it to use it. Had mine 5 years or so and almost daily use for most of those years.
Let's not confuse the issue with facts!
I roll heavy cords on the ground. I just stack loops the size I want. You have to adjust the twist to get neat coils.
I keep a bit of cord near the male end, attached with a clove hitch, for tying up the rolled cord.
