I'd get one even though I don't need it if only the shorter one was a 6-footer. Why would they make a 2-ft "extension" cord? Best deal on a 12/3 75 ft if you need one.

Not sold in stores near me :(.

The 2 ft tri-tap cord is just to give you the option to turn the 75 ft cord into a tri-tap cord, without having to use a low-end tri-tap that won't handle the same rating as the cord. It can also be handy as a disconnect point, if you want to leave the plug end in the wall, but don't want to unplug the three other ends every time.

Shows 39.99

If I read correctly this cord can handle upto 15 AMP tools? such as snowjoe snowblower?

Yes, the cord is rated up to 15 AMPS.

Yes, 15A would be fine. Many tools only pull that under intense load, and the power cord couldn't care less. Might get a little warm.

I use to pull 30A through a 12ga extension cord for hours at a time, the problem is not the cord, it's the connectors on the ends which are crimped. If they aren't crimped well, that's what gets hot, not the conductors. You could pull 15A through 18 gauge wire over 75 feet, keep the insulation nice and warm and supple. :eek: (actually, you'd only lose about 100 watts, or about 1 W/foot.

Yep, it's 12/3 and 15A capable and works with a snowjoe fine (Used it last weekend in the blizzard)

store price is $19 as well. shelf tag is around $39.xx but scans $19 in the register. I picked 1. thanks op.

19.99 now ordered thanks

thanks guys for confirming

this is a good deal and will go fp

great deal, just picked up two of these

Just ordered one. Considering picking up another if they still have some in stock and if they feel durable when I pickup. Thanks OP!

None in my area :( Good deal though

Why did they insult the cords?

Because their proofreader isn't that good, apparently.

very tempting. i just don't need one living in a condo. but i can for see the need for one after i get a house. alas, i don't know when that will be. i guess i'll wait a few more years.

These won't last long. Seems like it may be a p*r*i*c*e m*istak*e

This is a good deal. Picked one up for my husband. Thanks op!

Zero around my place in NC or my place in Florida either. As usual.

If its 12 gauge, why do they advertise it as light-duty?

AARGH!!!

Not sold near me. Anywhere near me at all.

To those who don't have any available locally...

You could always order 3 and get free shipping!

As long as the build quality and cord ends aren't junk, that's an excellent deal on a 75' 12/3 cord. I really don't need any more cord, but I'll likely stop and pick up 2 tomorrow morning. A package like that should easily go for $50+. A 12/3 tri-tap goes for $15 by itself. TU!

not sold near me.
so i was going to get a box fan b/c i needed one. to get free shippping.
the one i wanted was sold out.
w/e ..forget you home depot!

Fanstastic deal, picked up one and may regret not getting more.

Good deal, even better than the sears red locking cord deal

ordered 2 for 40...thanks

My 3 arrived in the mail today. Seem like decent cords. I found it interesting that the tri-tap 2 footer was much thicker cable than the 75ft extension cord. Both are printed as 12AWG though.

I plan to buy 2, is there any filler to make it 45?

use codea; HDFEB10

for $10 off $100 if you are buying multiple or combining with other items....

I concur. Im pretty sure I have seen this in stores and it is not advertised as light duty.. weird

"Light duty" is in reference to the jacket, not the copper. These have a relatively thin jacket over the wires, rather than a heavy solid jacket like a heavy duty cord would have. I picked up a two-pack of 50ft cords that are the same as these... they are good for high power devices, but they don't give you the feeling that you could drive over them many times and have them hold up.

oos online and none near me :(

I've been looking for another decent 12-gauge extension cord ever since Sears cancelled on me with that red locking cord deal. I'm in for one of these yellow items. Thanks, OP.

This is always useful: Husky 11-Piece Precision Tool Set --> $9.88 [homedepot.com]

Have two cords waiting for pickup, thanks.

Deal is DEAD!

I have the same question.
No, fully alive. In Central Jersey, they have a ton around.

Just brought 2. Still alot of inventory available in the Central Jersey Home Depot. I Plan on using these cords with the portable generator that I recently purchased.

Quick question, are these good enough to use 750w space heater that is connected to a 3000watt generator? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Still showing $19.00 and available here.

it's still good, I just purchase two few minutes ago. I'm using Firefox browser.

Same here. Springfield, VA (Northern VA) deal is alive and well. Also tons in stock near my family's place in south-central PA.

Ordered 2 for pickup, said they had 6 in stock. Got a call 30 minutes later from them saying they looked all over and cannot find any in the store... Canceled my order...

Nice! In for one. Thanks OP!

None in my area. This deal is highly YMMV, so how did it end up on front page?

Not carried within the 10 stores that are 100 miles near me. Now it's not available online. WTF HD!

In 4 1. Thanks. Just need one.

Its the length that's making it light duty at that gauge. The difference between light and heavy duty is in the total resistance. The more resistance, the more power lost.

R= (p*L/A)

p= materiel resistivity
L= Length
A= Area, or awg

That, and it is SJTW (insulated for up to 300 Volts), and not STW (insulated for up to 600 Volts).

It'll still handle just about anything you'd need a 12 AWG cord for short of severe duty use.

in for 2

Becuase whether or not there is any in your area isn't the determing factor in whether a deal goes on the front page.

You can always buy two and some filler or three for $45+ total and get free shipping.

Out of stock in my area. Glad I grabbed a few earlier.


Or buy 6, use the above coupon code, sell 4 @ $30 and keep 2 free for yourself. Still a good deal for whoever need them.

Seeing out of stock online when checking out.

In stock at a few stores near me so I picked up 1 set.

In for 2. Pretty sure I don't need this, but how can I pass it up? SD'd again... lol

not available for shipping, so OOS online it seems.

there are ~80 in my area within a 20 mile radius. PM me if you want one - i wouldn't mind picking it up when i go to pick up mine. as long as you pay the $19 for the cord and shipping i'll mail it to you. even w/ shipping it seems like a great deal

Great price for this. Just ordered one for pick up in Northern Virginia.

Heading out to pick up the 2 that I ordered via Firefox. My store had 56 in stock when I checked. Pickup confirmation in hand. :whee:

I found the items in the box along the isle, not in the shelf. The cord itself are inside a box packaging.

I live in Baltimore, picked up one tonight at the Golden Ring Home Depot, they had plenty stacked midway in isle (not on the shelf) in the electrical section, not an end cap or highly promoted, in fact there was no price listed on the cords!! Rang up at $19.00 as posted here. As for the light duty rating, it definitely refers to the jacket, even though the wire is thick, the jacket is rather thin, you can move it around with your fingers, not so with the heavy duty rated cords. For $19.00, still a great deal!

WOW! 12/3:cool:

six for six, different stores, all cancelled. :(

Excellent in for 2, needed a new one.

Wow. Wish I had seen this sooner. I would have bought twenty. Fantastic deal.

Nothing in my area either.

I bought one of these from Sam's Club 10 years ago and still going strong...in for another...runs my 12 gallon compressor for hours without getting warm.

In for 1 ....Thanks Op

Opps! I think Costco has something like this too. I have to check it. the 2 pack thing is confusing because you think youre getting 2 75ft cords. 12/3 is still a good deal.

The shorter the cord the better! Check the connector end for heat.

I hope no one takes this advice, everything above is a good way to cause an electrical fire or get injured yourself. They have no idea what they are talking about. I'm only posting this out of safety for anyone reading this. This is coming from a journeyman electrician who actually knows what they are talking about.

Just picked up my 2 at the Monrovia, Ca. Store.

The customer service rep said.."I meant to ask you if you get an alert once things go on sale or something?" :lmao: I just smiled and nodded my head.

I was the first of 5 orders to be picked up. She said the orders just kept on coming in. They got worried for a second, she said.

Got 2 thanks. Going make some kickarse speaker cables with it.

This deal makes doornails look like Kate Upton

I do know what I'm talking about. Should we whip 'em out and see who's got the biggest conductor? Who takes electrical advice from slickdeals, anyway? And extension cords aren't exactly buried in conduit - they do shed heat a little better, don't ya know.

OK, OK I have the highest respect for professional electricians, and paid good money to have an IBEW guy do my addition, even though I think I know what I'm doing. My dad burned down a house he built himself - fire deparment said improper splice, undersized junction box. :shake:

Because it's a light duty jacket. The jackets on the cord is a SJTW (Service Junior Thermoplastic Weather). The "J" signifies it to be a junior, or light duty cord. It's a much thinner jacket than something like a STW jacket, which is also why it's only rated to 300v phase to phase instead of 600v phase to phase.

The heavy duty black cords that you typically see on a jobsite, mining, fairgrounds, etc are SOOW (Service Oil Other Weather) or an SEOW, similar to SOOW but would be a elastomer jacket instead of a rubber jacket.



The tap is an STW jacket, cord is SJTW.



^^ This



750w is nothing to as 12ga cord.



Length has nothing to do with it, it has everything to do with the insulation and jacket. The same 75 or even 100' cord could be classed as a heavy duty cord if it had a SOOW, SEOW, etc jacket on it. The resistance is the same regardless, actually possibly a touch higher on the extra heavy duty service cable since it doesn't dissipate heat as well as a lighter jacket cable.



I agree, I was ultra geeked at first until I clicked the link. Still a great deal though!

In for 2, thanks and repped. This is a very good deal and I was in the market for a couple new cords. Should go well with the electric snowblower I just ordered!

Awesome deal. Can't even get this price on craigslist. In store rings up at 19.00

Not sold at my store(s). Boo.

Great deal on a cord/tap. My local store store (#126) had them on a floor display in lighting about 5 cases (4 or 6/case I believe) high despite the inventory checker saying they had 8 total. Worth checking out if you use extensions regularly.

Thanks OP!

Not sold at nearest store. Goddamnit

- sent by iPhone App Deals & Steals 3.5.8 -

Order cancelled :/

awesome! ordered 5 mins. ago, and i already receive a notice for store ready for pick up.=D my new generator must list is almost complete! repped!

Not sold around here. Bummer.

So the jacket is thin... I got a portable generator that I have yet to use. Everything I've read recommends heavy duty extension cords to power appliances. Any thoughts on using these to run a sump and fridge that will have long runs.

I would not hesitate to use this for powering a fridge or sump pump from a generator. That's a perfect application: heavy wiring to handle the current, but no need to spend a lot on heavy duty construction for something that is rarely used. But I'd be looking for something else if for something that got daily use, like contracting work.

Thanks OP!

quick question, I have a 7.5 amp electric tiller. How long a run can I make with 12/3 extension cords before I cause damage to the motor and/or have a significant drop in performance?

In for one! Thanks! Repped :D

They cancelled my first order, but then called me and said they had some in a pallet in jax!

I paid $22 for a 50' several months ago, and that was a great deal, so this is smoking. Great if you have an electric snow blower, or an electric vehicle (for use with a level 1 charger).

You could go 200' and still be under 5% voltage drop [mchsi.com].

More of an impulse buy after the generally positive feedback here. Guess it's a good thing to have around

Deal appears dead. Showing $39.88

Still showing $19 for me (showing in stock as well). I'm guessing it based on inventory levels of the stores in your area (or rather, the area it thinks you are in, based on your IP address).

Your shopping cart contains item(s) which are no longer available online. Please remove all unavailable items from your cart.

Damn. Tried IE and Chrome

thanks! I have a bunch of the red sears locking 12/3 cords and now this cord as well. Looks like I have plenty of cord to do my tilling

Good deal but need more info
 

The specs are little confusing. Isn't the thickness of the cable rather small for 12 gauge cable? Wiki shows the thickness should be 0.080 or higher. Am I missing something?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

Comments?

order cancelled. I guess I'll have to go into the store and see what rings up.

Dead.

Is it really not even showing online? The link is blocked at work (they block advertising aka SD links). Any good search terms to at least see it on HD?

I think this was a mistake, it's now showing not sold at this store for every location I could think to enter

Robbie: Unfortunately, I am not showing any of the extension cords in stock.
Captain Awesome: damn
Captain Awesome: are they allowing backorders?
Robbie: Unfortunately, we are not doing backorders on that one.
Captain Awesome: Robbie, you cannot do this to Captain Awesome!

Exactly what I needed, but of course OOS by me :(

got one at my local B&M, Thanks OP! I found one left in a box on the floor of an isle as described in earlier pages. There was a sign that showed it "on sale" for $38.88 but when I got to the register it rang up at $19 bucks. Shame it was the only one left.

Picked up 4 this morning at my local store.

Just picked up 2. Before I picked them up, there were 4 in store according to the site (plus multiple in other local locations), but there were really 5 of them sitting on a separate shelf. When I got back, it's showing out of stock for all areas, so maybe it was a price mistake after all.

@ 5% loss (typical), 120v, 12g, 7.5A load you can go 230'. Do bear in mind that isn't accounting for any losses at the plug ends, but for such a small load I wouldn't worry about that to terribly much. I would suspect the motor has a thermal overload on it anyhow, which will trip out before the windings get to hot.



Heavy duty vs light duty is more of a service use aspect vs load use. IE, if it's going to get drug around on a stage, fairgrounds, farm, industrial operation, etc. For any type of home owner application, these cords will be perfectly fine.


Not dead. Less than 30 minutes ago I picked up 4 at my B&M. At least a half dozen cases of 4 left, middle of the isle with a sign that had them priced at $19.00

only in the trade industries would codes mean different things. If you buy romex, 12/3 would be 3 conductors and a ground wire. But in extension cords, 12/3 means two conductors and a ground...yeah, that makes sense.
Just like the plumbing industry-- i need a 3/8" threaded fitting... yeah, good luck..there's like 4 different kinds of 3/8" threads.

Colin

I assume you are looking at the 0.045" "cord thickness" spec on HD's page? I don't think it means anything. The wording would suggest that's the thickness of the entire cord (three conductors plus insulation/jacket), which obviously isn't possible. This lighter (16/3) gage cord [homedepot.com] is listed at .307", which seems reasonable, yet this 12/3 cord [homedepot.com] is listed as an even more impossible 0.03". I have this workforce 12/3 two-pack [homedepot.com], which I expect is the exact same cable as this deal at a different length, yet it is listed at a different 0.036" (and I can tell you it's a lot thicker than that!).

I'd ignore those specs. I don't know what it's supposed to indicate, but it's clearly not consistent, and therefore probably not accurate.

So this is just dead online? We can still go into the store?

It does seem to have gone dead online. I checked stock locally last night, there were a few stores that had stock, many with 0, and one that said "not sold at this store". This morning the ones that had stock had a little less than last night, but one of them still had over 20. Now, ALL locations say "not sold at this store". FWIW, the the 2x 50' 12/3 pack that I have that I linked to above is the same price ($39) that I bought it for a couple months ago. At that time, I remember seeing this 75'/2' two pack, for about the same price, so it has dropped in price by about half since then, so probably either a mistake, or an attempt to close it out.

I have a HD store 1 and a half miles away. They don't have it and don't know anything about it. Sucks

After placing nine orders and receiving nine cancellations, I gave up.
This morning I received a call from corporate stating the product is available at my local HD with a $10 gift card. The rep informed me of a system error which would eventually be fixed.
I was told HD is sending out gift cards for orders placed online and cancelled.

The call came from a Georgia number 678-556-8599

Ordered 40 last night... got my confirmation to pickup this morning!

Just got 2!

Probably best to drive over them too much though...
Box shows:
Workfor: light duty
Husky: medium duty
Rigid: heavy duty

What's stupid is they have different tool icons over each duty, but 15 amps is 15 amps, so why does the tool matter? :shake:

none anywhere near me :(

Mine was ordered then cancelled too. I have not yet got a call.

I also received this email:

Picked mine up today. High quality cord, very nice for $20. Several others were waiting for pickup and they had a few just sitting there ready to be bought. Repped op

I really regret buying this at Amazon for $65: http://www.amazon.com/US-Wire-991...Wire+99100

But I was desperate with the snow coming, and the package ended up being late anyway for the big storm. Do you think it's worth returning this cable and getting the one from HD? The US Wire cable looks superior but its not worth 3X the price. Thoughts?

careful with what you plug into these, wouldn't use an electric lawn mower for example if you don't want to burn out the switch or motor

Say what?

My colleague bought it online and told me about it, I went to get one and it was showing not sold at this store for any store within 50 miles. So he went to pick his up and try had 90+ in stock at the store so be got one for me then. Great price.

Guess the deal is over..it's still 19.99 on their site but does not have to option to add to the cart.

My HD had a whole rack of them, original price is crossed out and $19.00 written in......

customer service lady in pittsfield,ma said to me, "wow we sure sold a lot of these today"

The US Wire & Cable one you bought is a MUCH more durable and heavy duty cord compared to this. It's made in the USA, with better materials, and has a MUCH better jacket. At the price you paid, that's a good deal for such a quality cord.

You could get two of these and make a 150ft cord for ~$40 if you just needed something light duty, but if you've already bought and used the other one, might as well keep it.

Thanks, grabbed one.

Stopped by store in Frederick, MD.. had them in middle of aisle with the $19.99 price on them.. 3 more boxes besides the open one on top, so at least 40 there when I left.

Left one in my cart last night and somehow its still in there and let me finish checkout despite the item page not allowing add to cart anymore. I took it as a sign that I should order lol

he said bigger pipe gives stronger flow. more juice will flow into your toys and blow them up.

Now I am going to have to say 'say what?' ;) Hopefully you are just joking around, if not, then please get a few books on how all of this stuff works, because that's just a crazy statement.

that's what he said. i just translated from him.

If you're using it for an electric snowblower, keep the US Wire cord. That cord uses a SJEOW jacket vs the SJTW jacket of the Workforce cord. The elastomer jacket on the US Wire cord will remain flexible in the cold which is very nice. Thermoplastic jackets like on the Workhorse cord will get very, very stiff in the cold, especially after a little age. The US Wire cable jacket is also oil resistant and also carries a lifetime warranty.

Side note for everyone who bought these, I was talking to an old co-worker today; the owner of the company he works for (commercial electrical) bought a bunch of 50' 12/3 Workforce cords. He said they've burned up a few cord ends. Still, at this price, I have no problem spending a few bucks to throw a set of new cord ends on. I'm probably going to go pick up a few more cords tomorrow for my Dad in Detroit who couldn't get any.

I have a 14/3 SJEOW cord that stays outside all winter that I use for starting the snowblower (electric start, no battery option) and also for the block heaters on my Jeep and my fiances car. It's nice getting in the car in the morning and instantly having heat :)

Otherwise, aside from length they will, electrically their performance will be identical. In all other seasons, they're basically the same. The Workhorse cord is a 2 wheel drive Chevy, the US Wire cord is a 4 wheel drive GMC ;)

Ordered one online earlier and picked it up later this evening. Site says not available in any store around me but the store had a bunch on display when I went to pick up.

Nicest extension cord I've ever owned. Much better than the cheap orange ones I'm used to. Good deal

Picked up the 2 I ordered no issues as well.

The store on 40 or 355? Store on 355 showed none online...stopped by at 5pm and customer service desk said they had 23 in stock. I found in aisle 26 and grabbed two, another SD'er grabbed 5 and random guy saw us buying these and grabbed 3 after seeing they were a deal. Employee watched us and grabbed last 3 cases (12 cords) to put on floor and mentioned that they have been that price for weeks and was surprised by the sudden interest.

Grabbed the last $59 Porter- Cable compressor at the 40 store last week...http://slickdeals.net/f/5836732-P...t-B-M-YMMV

Liking the Frederick, Md Home Depot's this month. :nod:

But was he talking about an extension cord, or was this just some unsolicited bragging?

"plug into these". no extension cord.

For anyone who still wants to get in on this deal, my advice is to hit up your local store(s). My zip code was showing no availability for any store within 50 miles when I went to pick up my online order yesterday, but they had a bunch in stock in the lighting aisle. I picked up another 4 for a friend who also wanted in on the deal.

Couldn't find any locally, don't think they even stock them here in Michigan. Found 50 in New Jersey though, and as I will be there next week on business, order one for in store pickup. Yah!

Just picked my two at HD, and there were three more waiting for pickup right next to mine. Another SDer I'm sure.

This was dead for a while in SE PA but you can order online again - I just ordered one for my brother and got a confirmation just now.

I have an inexpensive 14g orange cord and I use a simple manual cord reel to store it but it is all twisted up and hard to wind or unwind it. How do you store these cords without getting it twisted up?

you lay the cord straight out allt he way. then you manually wrap it around your elbow and hand, paying attention to how the cord wants to be wrapped around.

while the above will work for a while, eventually the lines inside the cord get twisted and the last couple feel of the cord look all twisted around.

355, never been into the one on 40... that mall been ghost town for years.

This video [youtube.com] shows how to wrap a cord properly, any other method usually results in twists/damage to the cord. It's really easy too.

I have the champion 3500/4000 watt generator that was from cabelas atthe end of Dec. There are 2 15A outlets on it. Will these cords work being 12 gauge or am I going to burn em up?

in 4 2

The deal is dead, no? Dude I'm in the same boat :)
I bought the adapters for the other outlets. Now I just need beefy extension cords.

If you have a 16awg extension, it won't melt if you don't max it out. If you run say half the rating, you will be fine. The one thing I don't know is the startup amps required for sump pumps and forced air if that short amount of time would melt the wire.

so many people brought this deal. i checked the homedepot online pickup line and all i saw was yellow extension cable, thats must'd been the slickdeal affect lol.

May I use power tools with the cable such as table saw, router?

All depends on the power requirements of said tools, but most people use their power tools with REGULAR extension cords, so you should be fine in most cases.

Crap, I just go a back order notice on my order placed within an hour of the original posting.

I ordered 2 and a small filler to get free ship to my house as they were out locally, seeing the B/O status now I highly recommend you go ahead and order as they are very nice ext cords and will work fine on all power tools in 99% of case's

Same here, they had "New low price" hand written in marker.

SD effect and mob mentality haha. But seriously, its a good price.

I ordered online with shipping to home and received a shipping confirmation yesterday. I ordered early when this thread was in the first page.

i just got an email saying the order was cancelled...looking into it now :(

UPDATE: Store was sold out, so they voided the order. Seems like HD has no system to get the order otherwise filled. So, I decided to complain on their FB page. That led to someone from TeamSocial@homedepot.com asking for me to contact them directly. If they can ship these to me at no additional charge, that would be nice. To be continued...

Damn! Wanted in on this one...

30 Amps through a 12/3 extension cord? I don't think so bro. The cable would melt, trip the breaker or even catch on fire. I've seen it happen a repeated number of times by my idiot friends, family and co workers.


:shake::shake::shake::shake:

I ordered mine from 40 HD yesterday. Forgot to pick them today. Hope they pulled the order before the MOB showed up. :shake:

Good idea, I was expecting a braid but his O/U technique looks good. I have to do that with my stiff pressure washer hose, it just naturally does over and under. I still braid most air hoses but using the elbow wrap has really twisted up my heavy power cords. I try not to run any tool on anything under 12 gauge wire. This would be great for generators since I like the noisy things as far away as possible.

picked up mine today.=D SLick is awesome

Warning.. I picked this up at my local HD.

The 2-pack that they're referring to is the 75 foot cord and the 2-foot tri tap!!!
You will not get 2-75 foot extension cords!!!

Seriously?

yes
Here's the description from the HD Website of what you get!!!

1pc 75 ft. light duty yellow extension cord - AWG 12/3 SJTW 15 Amp/125 Volt

Again you will not get 2-75 foot extension cords!!!!

That is in the original post.. It's a two piece set. Not two 75 foot cords.

Just received word from homedepot.com that they have cancelled this back-ordered item as it has been discontinued. Shucks.

got the same cancelation email, but they said they are sending me a $10 gift card

There are still more out there. Came across 2 cases yesterday at a local store. Told them I would take the rest off their hands with an additional discount. They said yes. 8 @ 15 each.

Look in the racks for Workforce labelled boxes. All Workforce items are discontinued.
