What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the extension cord for exceptional build quality, durability, and reliable performance. Many highlight the thick, flexible rubber coating, reinforced ends, and heavy gauge wire that safely handle demanding loads without overheating. The lighted receptacle helps users verify power status quickly, while the flat profile and right-angle plug offer practical convenience. Most view the heavier weight as a worthwhile trade-off for superior durability. A few report isolated concerns about plug compatibility, but the vast majority consider this cord an excellent choice for professional and demanding applications.

a bit deceiving

Picture is misleading. It shows two plug protectors attached to body to cover receptacles not being used. This would have been nice, but this item had no such covers attached as shown in the picture.

it's not what it says it is

Would Not Recommend

we bought this for an RV extension cord because it said it was 10 gauge. the RV only pulls 10 amps so we thought it would be fine. NOPE. when the male end burned out after a month and a half i bought a new male end. while putting it in, surprise surprise, it's only 12 gauge.

Not Heavy Duty

Would Not Recommend

I bought this because it was advertised as heavy duty but once delivered the package says medium duty on package. I wanted heavy duty and the price is too high for a medium duty cord.

Where is my order?!

Can't really review the cord because it has not yet shipped. Ordered on Nov 1st, and still has not shipped. Was supposed to be delivered Nov 13th & today is Nov. 19th. Lowes said it shipped Nov 16th via Fedex but Fedex does not have the package yet, Nov 19th. Lowes is not very good these days. Seem to have really gone down hill the past several years.

Manufacturer sent wrong cord.

Would Not Recommend

This item took over 3 weeks to arrive. Missed multiple supposed delivery dates. When it finally arrives as a dropship directly from the manufacturer it is the wrong cord! Received a 50' Green cord with yellow stripe instead of the bright ping with yellow stripe I ordered. How the heck to you get that wrong? HOW DOES THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THEM GET THAT WRONG?

It’s taken me nearly 2 weeks to get this ordered. This is ridiculous when I could’ve gone to the store and bought it there and brought it home to use.
