There is a safety concern using too small of a wire. Don't exceed about 10A with this cord. Lights and many single power tools are fine. An electric pressure washer or big miter saw is asking too much.
Lighting is one of the best use cases for a thin cord like this.
At 500' with a 16AWG cord you shouldn't exceed about 1 amp to have less than a 5% voltage drop.
You can get a Kill-A-Watt meter to easily see how much current is being drawn.

True! It's amazing how people think they're getting a good deal when it's a cheap, small gauge extension cord.
100ft should be 12g , no smaller. Because this would darn near melt if used for anything larger than a desk lamp.
I bought one, but I'm actually using it for splicing low voltage lines.
Anyway, I just looked in my garage and embossed on the cord is AWG 16x30. Does that mean it's 16 gauge? The tag that came on it is long gone. Other numbers I can't read except for (UL) and 50deg C.
I've used a 4A trimmer, 7.5A blower, and 8A chain saw on it with no problems. Also used it to connect our refrigerator to the neighbors when our power was out for several days.

16Ga, 30 strand.
with you're current draws, you're more than fine.
that's on you, not the product.
specs are there for a reason.

I don't understand what you guys don't understand about "Light Duty"...
just like the dude you quoted and agreed with, you guys are grabbing the wrong tool for the job. pay attention to specs, they're there for a reason.

that's on you (and them), not the product. educate yourself and those around you, don't just blindly blanket with the expensive option when it's not needed.
14 is definitely safer, especially for something like an extension cord that will be flexed and pulled around, but 10g is definitely overkill for just about anything that connects to a NEMA5-15 receptacle.
