Excellent power cord and a great value for the money spent - this power cord was purchased for commercial use and it has held up to the demand

As a disclaimer, I will say that this has gotten very little use, so far. But, so far it has passed the test with flying colors. The cable seems to be well made and thick. I have ran sanders and grinders as well as battery chargers with it. I have used it inside and outside. The light up ends work well and are extremely handy in dark situations. The cable is nice looking. It is a great bonus that they added the velcro tie to it so that you can roll it up and save space when not using.

This cord is just perfect for reaching from the generator to our utility room. No current drop, or overheating experienced. :)

I've been using the heavy duty outdoor extension cord to power my demo jackhammer, which takes nearly a full circuit when in use. This extension cord has performed exceptionally well, allowing me to move freely around the yard without worrying about voltage or current drops.One of the things I really appreciate is the lighted end, which makes it easy to see when the cord is powered, adding an extra layer of convenience and safety. The cord's heavy-duty construction feels robust and durable, and it has held up well against the elements, maintaining flexibility even in colder temperatures. The bright yellow color is also a plus, making the cord highly visible and reducing the risk of tripping or accidental damage. While the cord is quite heavy, this is expected given its 12/3 gauge rating and 100 ft length, and the durability it offers more than compensates for the extra weight.This extension cord has proven to be a reliable and robust solution for my heavy-duty power needs. It ensures consistent power delivery, allowing me to use my jackhammer anywhere in the yard without any issues. If you need a dependable outdoor extension cord for high-power tools, this one is definitely worth considering.

I needed a 40 ft 12 GA extension cord for dedicated indoor shop use, to be surface mounted along a wall but in two spots running behind some dust collection pipes with tight clearance. Since I was going to have to cut off and replace one end (or the other) in order to successfully fit it along the intended location, I decided to get a 50' length in order to end up with a bonus 10' spare extension after minimal re-work.On delivery, I was skeptical that the 8-1/2" square by 3-1/2" high corrugated box it was packaged in was big enough to hold a 50' 12 AWG cord, but ironically it probably would have. The cord when measured was only 49' long, but there was a tiny bit of volume remaining in the box, enough to hold one additional foot which would have made the claimed length correct. Oh well, for my intended use 49' was close enough, so I did not send it back.Before cutting I tested to make sure polarity was correct (it was) and otherwise that it functioned as an extension cord is expected to - which it mostly did, but not entirely. I found that the receptacle end would not safely accept a plug - like another reviewer noted, plugs (I tried several) would only insert halfway and would not go in any further despite a great deal of force applied. Interestingly, the circuit was actually completed but the plug contacts were left with about 1/2" dangerously exposed. With the re-work I was planning anyway this was not an issue for me, I just replaced the receptacle, but for normal use it would certainly have been an issue. Can't say if the receptacle problem occurs often, but it apparently happened to at least one other customer.While doing the re-work I observed the internal construction and can report that the current carrying wires are indeed 12 AWG, as claimed, and are made from quality bright copper. The ground wire was only 14 AWG, also copper. Technically this extension cord should be listed as 12/2 with ground, instead of as 12/3, but to me that is a minor point. In normal operation grounds do not carry current. When they do carry current, it is in response to an unsafe condition wherein high currents will quickly trip a breaker or blow a fuse, and low currents should trip a GFCI, and in either case overheating would be very unusual, justifying a smaller diameter. All conductors are stranded, with a relatively high number of strands for good flexibility. Each wire is insulated with plastic (probably PVC?) rated for 105 deg C, and colored black, white, and green for hot, neutral and ground, respectively. The spaces between the three wires are filled with many strands of non-stretchable (and non-conductive) threads in three groupings. Some kind of thin spun-woven fabric wraps them all together under a relatively heavy but still flexible and highly visible orange outer jacket.To sum up, the socket end of this product was certainly not perfect, and the length while good enough didn't quite give full measure, and the listing spec should be 12/2 with ground instead of 12/3. However, the core definitely exceeded expectations, so considering only factors important to me this product got 4 stars. However, if you can't or don't want to handle a potential plug/receptacle issue (either by return or repair), or needed length of 50' is critical, then you probably are best advised to not get this particular product.

Very good quality product. Very well made. Been using it in extreme cold conditions (-22 F) and it doesent stiffen up to bad at all. Still easy to manuver. Very happy with the quality vs price. I highly recommend.

We have used this with our electric lawnmower and i love how the length is long enough to reach the front of our house. It has power surge protect and has good quality wiring that can withstand high electric currents

perfect for my needs

Good and heavy cord. I would buy again.
