Sturdy Power Cord

Would Recommend

A sturdy heavyweight cord. The packaging calls it a Generator cord, but to me, it is a heavy extension cord. The cord has NEMA 5-20 plugs and is rated for 20 Amps. I use it with my welder when I have it set for 115 Volts. With the 50 foot length I can move some of my minor welding outside without a loss of amperage to the welder. The 10 gauge wire handles 20 Amps easily with no excess heat. The included adapter is handy when a 20 Amp outlet is not available. If you need to run higher Amp po...

Heavy duty and well made

Would Recommend

This cord is exactly what I needed for my RV. Heavy duty 10/3 cord, well made, sealed connectors and it’s still flexible enough for every day use. I highly recommend this cord.

Heavy duty 10/3 cord will handle any load

Would Recommend

A project I have is to do some mig welding on my back fence. A standard extension cord is not big enough to run a welder but this 10/3 cord handles the job no problem. Another problem I have had is running a nice size compressor on an extension cord 50' long. It doesn't work, the cord will not carry enough amps to power the compressor. This 10/3 cord handles the job no problem. An adapter is furnished so you can plug into any 120v plug.

Great Heavy Duty Outdoor Extension Cord

Would Recommend

The Ultilitech Pro 50-ft 10/3 3-Prong Heavy Duty Lighted Outdoor Extension Cord is great for high draw electrical devices that are less than 50 feet away from a power source. The heavy duty 10/3 wires allow mini-frigs, battery chargers, and portable table saws among other items to work flawlessly without heating up the extension cord. The lighted end when plugged in is a great feature, so you know when it is plugged in and live. It also comes with a T-outlet plug adapter cord so you can plug...

Heavy duty construction

Would Not Recommend

Seems to be a good cord with a couple of quirks. I think that the adapter cord should be from a 15 amp outlet to a 20 amp outlet and not the way it comes. This seems to be set up for use with a generator and not for a long cord powering a tool like a saw. I was not impressed with how the receptacle gripped the prongs on the adapter. As you can see from the pictures I taped them together.

Why a HEAVY DUTY extension cord?

Would Recommend

The bureaucrats in Washington are promising you a long hot summer with power outages and high prices. Are you prepared? I have a large generator I purchased for operating large equipment and supplying power for my home in an "EVENT". I have three refrigerators and freezers full of food that I sure wouldn't want to have go bad. The freezers and refrigerators are all within 20' of each other, but you CANNOT run a generator in an enclosed space unless you want to die! Even though my generator is eq...

Generator Power Cord

Would Recommend

This is a nice looking heavy extension cord to use with your generator. The 50 ft length lets you put the generator away from you work and dust. The 10 gauge lets you get the longer distance without dropping the voltage too much. Great for use with power tools, camper, etc. This is 110v. Does not work with 220v. Not waterproof or weatherproof, so do not use it outdoors if it will rain. Comes with short adapter cord to use with normal 110v plugs.

This is one HEAVY-duty extension cord!

Would Recommend

This entire extension cord weighs almost 12 pounds! I installed an additional heavy-duty hook for it. And I was thrilled to see the attached adapter to simply make it a typical 3-prong plug as well. It will work SO much more efficiently when I supply the power AND the cord for my son's table saw when he finishes my retaining wall.

Heavy DUTY!

Would Recommend

This is a quality, heavy duty extension cord. We installed 200 parking stop blocks this past Saturday with it. So nice not to have to stop and move the generator closer to where we were working. We have burned up cords and hammer drills in the past, this cord allowed us to set 10 in each direction before we had to move. The only con, wished the lighted plug end was brighter to show up in the bright daylight, but no biggie. Really nice heavy cord, didn’t even get warm under continuous use.

Truly Heavy duty

Would Recommend

This is truly a heavy duty extension cord ,perfect for plugging an rv into a 110 socket if you have to given the size of the wire. I would suggest its not necessarily a good every day use general extension cord given the weight and size. The cord is well built and sturdy. So if you have a specific heavy duty purpose such as running a generator or an RV this is a good cord.

Excellent Extension Cord

Would Recommend

Heavy duty is how i describe this cord! Chose specifically to use in storm season with my generator. Comes in a good box for storage and a velcro strap to to keep wrapped/untangled. Tossed around in the yard a bit, velcro strap stayed in place. The light feature is a great bonus along with the adapter short cord for regular outlet. Cord uncoiled easily and I was able to recoil with no problems. Would definitely recommend and will even grab a couple for family members.

Great Heavy Duty Exstension Cord

Would Recommend

Just what the dr ordered to use with your generator to power household appliances and power tools when needed or for power outages. Very heavy duty can also power tools in remote locations to help get the job done faster. Its 50 ft long to let you reach those places that are hard to get to and not able to get your generator close to. I highly recommend this heavy duty cord.

super heavy

Would Recommend

the construction is awesome. the light on the female end is great as it lets you know the power is there. the male plug will fit my generator just nicely. the best is there will be no loss of power and i can put it farther from the house to keep the noise down. the outer covering is quite thick which makes it a lot more durable and can handle rough situations for a longer time than the much thinner cords. i would recommend this to anyone that needs a heavy duty cord that will last a long time a...

Hurricane Power

Would Recommend

Since I live in the hurricane belt I have a portable generator and always want a power cord that is sufficient in size yet long enough to power heavier appliances. This one fits the bill. Both the male and female ends have plugs to handle 20 cables with multiple type plugs. It also came with a pigtale for converting to standard 3 prong 120V. I also like the fact the end is illuminated when power is present. Now I can be comfortable plugging in my fridge or freezer from a longer distance and...

Great cable for generator!

Would Recommend

The Utilitech Pro 50 foot 10/3 20 amp generator cable is a great addition for anyone who owns a generator or typically uses high current draw tools for carpentry or construction. This is the safe way to power heavy loads at a distance. This beefy cable comes with a Nema 5-20 P (T blade plug) and a combination receptacle that accepts a T blade plug (Nema 5-20R) or standard household 120 volt 3 prong receptacle and has a lighted end. The cable includes an adapter that will allow you to plug into a...

Heavy Duty extension cord

Would Recommend

This extension cord is very heavy duty. I was worried when I seen the prongs on the plug in. But this company thought of everything and included an adapter. We live on a farm and can use this cord for many things. We will definitely use this for our generator.

Great jobsite power cord

Would Recommend

Great Heavy Duty 20 Amp extention cord. It has T connectors for 20 Amp receptacles, but comes with a 1 foot adapter cable to use with a 15 Amp receptacle. It weighs a whooping 11.8 pounds, and is a handy 50-ft long. Would also be handy to use with a generator. The only shortcoming I saw was that it was not marked as an outdoor cable with the telltale black stripe common with outdoor rated cords

XX Heavy Duty Power Cord

Would Recommend

Okay so you get the length, durability, and the light up plug in to signal when the cord is on for power. This is a super heavy duty power cord and you feel confident rather your using it for day to day shop power for power tools, generators or shed lighting. The expectation is that this will hold up because the cords thickness is on another level. A couple of nice bonuses you get a short 1" extension plug in piece and also a nice heavy duty strap so you can keep the cord nice and in place when ...
