2.0 out of 5 stars Use caution if using with Kill-A-Watt - only rated for 10 amps!, December 19, 2008

This review is from: Cables To Go 03137 18 AWG Outlet Saver Power Extension Cord NEMA 5-15R to NEMA 5-15P (1 Feet/0.30 Meters) Black (Electronics)

This product is fine if you are just using it to free up space on your surge protector or UPS that would otherwise be used by A/C adapters for cell phones, speakers, etc.

However, this cord is only rated for 10 amps. Unfortunately that is not disclosed anywhere in the promotional materials. This means you can only use it for electrical loads of up to 10x125 volts = 1,250 watts. So if you were intending to use this with a Kill-A-Watt to measure, for example, how much electricity your refrigerator or microwave uses, well, don't do it because those appliances may draw more than 1250 watts and overheat the wire, possibly causing a fire.

What is needed for use with the Kill-A-Watt is an extension cord that is rated for 15 amps or more. That will allow safe transmission of the electricity over the extension cord without overloading it.

This review is from: Cables To Go 03114 18 AWG Outlet Saver Power Extension Cord NEMA 5-15R to NEMA 5-15P (3 Feet/0.91 Meters) Black (Electronics)

I purchased a "Kill-A-Watt EZ" and use this 3' extension cable in conjunction with that. For background, the Kill a Watt EZ measures power consumption of anything plugged into it and displays watts consumed and if you enter your local utility's cost per Kw it will tell you what it costs to operate on a per day, per month, per year basis. The only issue is that you plug it into the wall and then the electricity consuming device into it, after, you have to get down on your hands and knees to view the reading. Kind of a pain to do. In using the unit with the CTG 3' Outlet Saver Power Cord I find it much easier to use.

What can you say about a 3' extension cord...It's a well constructed cord for the money and does the job intended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful product!, February 6, 2009

I purchased a half-dozen of these to enable me to insert wide plugs and wall-warts into closely-spaced power strip outlets. Manufacturers often space outlets very close together in order to save money. These extension cords allow you to utilize all the outlets on a power strip.

Despite being very inexpensive, they are made very well.
