5.0 out of 5 stars HEAVY DUTY - EXCELLENT QUALITY - TOUGH AS NAILS
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2024
This is the BEST extension cord I've ever owned. The quality is amazing. It's heavy and tough.
I'm using to power a 14000 BTU portable air conditioner. It was worth the money for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this cord
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2024
I have bought two of these. They are heavy and durable. I think they are a great price! I use these for projects around the house or they're used for photoshoots. They are not used 5 days a week 8 hours/day. I cannot tell any difference from the more expensive ones that people buy from Lowe's or Home Depot. 1st one I have had for over 1 1/2 years and the 2nd one I have had for a few weeks now. Both work perfectly fine. Only thing I have noticed is the 1st one was made in the US and the 2nd was made in Asia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 12g cord for a great price
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2024
I scored 2-50' versions of these on sale for $20 each and my only regret is that I didn't buy 10 of them. As far as extension cords go, I'm a normal dude who will use it for normal stuff around the house; mostly power tools with high draw like saws, grinders, planers, drills, etc.

Build quality is solid from the wire itself to the strain relief at the male/female plug ends, and the plugs themselves. No complaints there. For $20 I don't think I could have found a better quality extension cord. I'm indifferent about the lighted head but I can see its use in certain scenarios, for my use I don't see it having a ton of utility. In my opinion, the only other extension cord I have that is better than this one is a purpose-built 10g 100' one that my electrician friend made me that has 4 female outlets (2 standard, 2 gfci). I only paid for the plug ends and he used leftover 10g from a job he worked.

The only possible complaint at the moment I could think of is that these are fairly heavy duty cords and if you're an elderly or smaller person, it may be a bit heavy/unwieldly for you to wrangle. Also I know folks who don't like the lighted plug ends but that's more of a personal preference. Lastly, you'll want to keep an eye on this cord if you take it on the road with you. It outclasses many of the other big box store cords and someone will (definitely) attempt to snatch it from you. This isn't one I would hang on my truck rack and leave unattended in a parking lot.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good value for a 10g cord
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2020
If your looking for a regular heavy 10g cord this one will hold up. The reason it only got 4 stars is like most extension cords it tends to twist the more times you wind it up. Yes there is a proper way to loop up a an extension cord but this suckers a bit heavy to hold out at arms length at the end of each day and also take the time to loop it. YouTube video on how to do so and your cord won't twist.
This cords gets used outside daily. The base get's wrapped around a pole and plugged in and from there its drug across lawn, through landscape, sometimes down a 40' slope with boulders and large concrete steps, while not recommended for safety reasons it has had to traverse an area with the sprinkler running. So thumbs up on durability.
If you want the type of card that doesn't start to take on a memory when frequently wound your going to have to shell a bit more but if ready this review you new that.
For the average person this is going to be a good by. The winding and memory is not as bad an issue like a cheap 100' 10 gauge regular orange cord experiences so I think you will be happy.
In no way is my cord abused but I ask a lot out of it for the summer, so much so if I had to buy one each season I'd be okay doing so because the cord make me money. I haven't had it long but I can tell by the lack of wear and what it has already experienced the cord is in it for the long haul.
Last I can not speak to the durability of the ends because they are always protected. Once I have the cord where the work is going to be done a short leader cord is connected and the connection doesn't get moved and it;'s always high and dry. So to be far the short leader cord gets all the abuse. 15'ft cords are a lot cheaper to replace. Now that you see how I utilize the cord and my expectations, you can determine if its a good cord for you based upon your intended use.
It's not cold weather rated so no need to discuss that. Each option costs a bit more. I fit the cord to the use and consider it to be a good buy at this time. Should this cord not continue to hold up I will come back and re-review this post.

I like it because I have a long run to my garage. I use it to charge my plug-in hybrid vehicle and don't have to worry about it overheating.
