You do you as you're best positioned to judge the efficacy of your particular situation, but I don't think that any cord manufacturer would recommend that.

Pulling that much current through a 12 gauge cord will result in a voltage drop of roughly 5% per 100' that can harm equipment optimized to run at 110v. And it's not like that voltage just vanishes into thin air, it turns into heat which could melt a cord or start a fire - especially if you're running something non-stop for a long period of time or plugging cords into cords with increased resistance at the plugs.

The amperage rating of a specific cord is for that specific length. Extending the length by plugging cords into cords significantly reduces that.
Nice deal for a lighted triple tap 15 amp cord. The triple tap is great for running multiple things at once, like a sander with a vacuum and a light, or for switching from one higher amp-draw tool to another without having to unplug and replug.

That being said, sometimes you don't want or can't even use the tripple tap, depending on the plug on your tool as some just don't have space for the large receptacle or you might not want to drag around the extra weight for something like yard tools.
And, cords are meant to be used for a job and put away, not used as a permanent power supply. A friend was using an extension cord ran over to a chicken coop to run a heat lamp for baby chick's. Fire marshall thinks mice chewed the cord, setting the coop and 2 sheds on fire. Chickens, boat, and tractor gone.

That is a great deal! Bought 200ft of Husky 12/3 cords to go down to my boat dock. Works great, even for my 13amp de-icer.

Good deal.
OP - should put "lighted triple tap Home Depot" in title.
And for those of us that prefer to have stuff shipped to home buy over $45 worth and get it shipped to home.
I did and saved a 100 mile roundtrip.

Great quality. Bought one at this price, via a SD, about a year ago.

These ratings can get confusing. Builders routinely run 20A #12 romex circuits 50+ feet from a main box to a garage in larger homes. But, this #12 extension cord is rated at 15A. Might be part line drop, might not be high quality copper?, or maybe it's that that the connectors are not good to 20A?

Also, odd that there are no letters describing the ratings of the outer jacket.

There are manufacturer 20A rated 50 ft #12 extension cords, but possibly not 100' which go to #10 wire because of the line voltage drop issue.

Probably an okay cord at 15A, but not so sure about the type metal conductor or how it would weather.

How is this deal better than this one from Costco for $30 (in store) 2x50ft Extn. Cord? https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/t/14040437

Because it's still live and the Costco one is expired?
