What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the extension cord's heavy-duty construction, thick 12-gauge wiring, and flexible rubber coating that withstands harsh outdoor conditions and frequent coiling. The lighted plug feature is frequently highlighted as practical for low-light use, and reviewers consistently report reliable performance powering welders, EV chargers, and outdoor equipment without overheating. Most appreciate its substantial build quality compared to flimsier alternatives. A small number mention plug compatibility concerns or labeling confusion, but the dominant sentiment reflects strong trust in the cord's durability and professional-grade functionality.

10-ft 16 _SLASH_ 3 Light Duty extension cord

Would Recommend

For a light duty extension cord this one seemed well made with good ends. It seems like it will hold up well over time. I used it to hook up a light under a metal carport so worked out great!

Great Quality

Would Recommend

Love seeing American - made quality! The tag says “indoor Use Only,” but don’t let that fool you - this is SJTOW cord is fully outdoor rated, tough, flexible, and handles Arizona heat with ease. I’m glad they didn’t let the lawyers jack up the price with extra bureaucracy, so you get medium duty performance at a fair price. Perfect for gigs, speakers or any temporary outdoor use.

Improper Ground

Would Not Recommend

Attempted to used the extension cord but what I was plugging in would not function correctly. When I plugged in a electrical receptacle tester it said that the ground was faulty.

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.
