Abstract: A retractable booster cable device comprising a container which rotatably supports a spool by means of two spool end walls. The spool is divided into two substantially equal portions by means of a divider wall intermediate the end walls. A twin element cable passes through the hollow center of the spool, extends through each spool portion and exits the container through exits on each end thereof. The cable is centered so that substantial equal lengths extend from both exits. A deployed cable is stowed by rotating the spool in a first direction. The cable is deployed from a stowed position by simultaneously pulling both ends of the cable from the container causing the spool to rotate in a second direction. Clips are provided to removeably attach the ends of the cables to the container.
