If you really need 100ft of outdoor cord get something thicker than this. I would get at least 12 or 10g for such a long length. It probably wouldn't be safe to use this for anything but the lowest power draws. Harbor freight has good prices.
This person has no idea what they are talking about. If you run an excessively high amp draw on too thin of a wire, the wire heats up and can melt the insulation.

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.
For LED Christmas lights it should be absolutely fine as long as you aren't trying to power some huge display.

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.

Not really.
I used an 16/3 50'ft (which I thought 14/3) extension cord for my 15A pressure washer and the cord got so hot that the jacket becomes soft like going to melt. It could be fire hazard if I continued using that.

Same discussion every time a long 16 gauge extension cord comes up! Good to educate the newbies!

if used within the manufacturers specifications, he's correct... there is no safety issue. you used a cord beyond it's manufacturer specifications, you caused the safety issue.

his other comment about "you'll just lose power" is asinine and just shows he doesn't know wtf he's talking about.. same power will be at the end of the cord, just a slightly lower voltage and slightly higher current.

pick the right tool for the job and actually pay attention to the specs before you hurt yourself our your family.

Has anyone received their orders? I ordered the day this deal was posted. Received my order of the cords today via FedEx.
