Deal Details
Saw this in a few local warehouses in DE / NJ. Doesn't show up online. Seems similar quality/build to southwire/yellow jacket etc. Just used it at a job site with no problems. Other stores show similar cords for same price for one pack. The light indicator is a bonus and a time saver.

Seem to be same wire/quality as ones I've bought in the past and have abused while building a few houses and they're mostly all holding up. Jackets maybe not quite as robust as others but good enough, can't beat the price anywhere.

Bit pricey for 25' should be 50' for this price.
Got a few 50' 12/3 on Amazon 3 months ago for around $30

These at Costco used to be 50 ft. They've dropped the price but now they are only 25.

Yeah, they used to be 50', have been looking for those for a couple years now, and they hadn't come back. I saw these 25' ones arrive last month, and snatched up a couple 2 packs - they sold out pretty quick, haven't seen them in the store since.

Yes and it's more expensive than a single 50ft from Amazon. Costco used to sell two 50ft 12/3 for around this price

Yeah and I remember when gas was .99/gal
Searching Amazon [amazon.com]does not show one that is cheaper at 50 ft that is lighted and rated as heavy duty
And the reviews on some of them aren't great, some comments like the jackets fading/wearing out or plugs turning black, at least with Costco I could return for an exchange or store credit a year later and not be out of money with an Amazon purchase so for a little more I get more assurance is worth it

No kidding, and I wouldn't expect half the length to be half the price for a couple reasons:
- nothing ever is priced like that, price always gets better with quantity
- Sometimes shorter is better. Yes I could use a 100ft for every job, but for jobs where I only need 10 feet, its a huge PITA.

When comparing extension cords you also need to make sure you're comparing apples to apples - e.g. lit ends, wire gauge, sheathing type, name brand, etc etc etc

No kidding it aint licorice the more the better, you get the right sized cords for the job. 100ft is a real PITA for many jobs, this is 25ft and heavy duty for those sized jobs.

I can get a 1000 ft of licorice for $10 for the next ten years so I win! No clue
