maximum watts for extension reel, how close?

I got a nifty power cord/reel thing at HD with a 100ft extension cord and three outlets on the reel. The watt rating is ~1800 watts. My worklight pushes 1000 watts. The ridgid 9 gal uses 325 watts. I'm not sure what the 7424 is (3.7 amps x ? volts).

Am I safe using the worklight and either the PC or ridgid, about 1400 watts? Just wondering if I need to make sure no one flips on the vac when I'm buffing away...kaboom!

To calculate the wattage the formula is as follows

amps x volts = wattage

I assume the voltage in US is 110v

meaning your PC draws approx 407 watts so your just in

When running everything together you drawing 16 amps,just check the cable don't get too warm
