This cord is a must for heavy duty, high amp, power tool users. I bought this cord to go with my new PorterCable 15 amp saw because of its #12 gauge size. I wanted a cord that would ensure a proper power supply and low voltage drop to protect my tools from burnout. It certainly is handy and rugged to boot. The bright yellow exterior stands up to rough use and is easy to see on jobsites. I like the lighted plug end; it lets you know when the wire is hot and can be seen in the dark. Thanks, Amazon !

I use these cables (100' and 25')for outdoor work: pressure washer, electric saws, and electric snow blower. They are tough and stay flexible in cold weather. What more could you ask?

It's an extension cord, what can you say-other than it seems to be of the highest quality. I love the lighted female receptacle when power is on feature. I would recommend it without reservation.

I use all electric garden tools: chainsaw, mower, tiller and such. It is worth it to me to have a good quality cord. Also comes in handy when we must use the generator.

Pamper your power tools...they deserve it. Buy at least 12/3 for your short runs, and 10/3 for longer than 50' and for higher draw (over 10 amps) tools. This is especially true for air compressors, table/miter saws, etc. If you've ever experienced your power tools bogging down, try a better (heavier gauge) cord, you might be surprised. As mentioned, the lighted cord end when it's plugged in is handy/cool, as well.

I just purchased this cable recently and I used it several times. I bought it to use with my 4 gallon air compressor, that recommended a 12/3 cable, no more than 25 feet long. I like it because it's not vinyl and you can use it in any weather. I use it for all my power tools. Low voltage can overheat and burn your power tools up, if your using a power cord of a smaller size.

Light weight , but rated well enough to do the job for most power tools. a must in your shop. An improvement would be a multi outlet end so that more than one tool might be plugged in at the same time
