    It is only 14/3. I thought the cable was 12/3. I pass

    same way i knew what cords were light and heavy duty as a kid... because my parents were parents and taught me.
    doing the people around you a real disservice making things idiot proof.

    light duty things are perfectly viable options and meant for what they're meant for. besides the jacketing is the more important bit here...

    How can you control that someone in your family may use it as a piece of a long daisy chain of power cord extensions? I rather prevent it from happening right now by not buying it than any incident can happen.

    Quote from sd323232 :
    how much current are you drawing? issue is most people dont know how much current is being drawn and over load the cable. By NEC code, 15A circuit breaker will protect 14/AWG, and 20 ampere circuit breaker will protect 12/AWG. problem is, if you plug 14/AWG into 20A circuit breaker, say your cable will draw 19A, circuit breaker will not trip, your cable will burn cause current is above its rating. So now you gotta know if you are connecting to 15A breaker or 20A breaker. with 12 gauge, it does not matter, you are safe (15A or 20A breaker will trip before cable starts melting/fire). but with 14 gauge, you need to know which breaker you connecting to. bottom line, 12AWG is safe because average folk dont need to know which receptacle is 15A or 20A. with 14 AWG, need to be more careful. but as long as you understand what you are doing, you are safe with 14 AWG.
    Even on a 20A circuit you can probably push this to 16, 17 or even 18A in short bursts before it starts to fail, so people will do that thinking that it's ok, until it's not ok. And it might not fail on the first few uses as each use will slowly melt each wire's insulation inside the outer sheath, until the hot and neutral or ground bridge and short, causing an explosion, melting the cable and tripping the breaker. And 20A breakers generally don't trip once the load exceeds 20A. The load has to exceed 20A by at least a few amps, for more than a few seconds, for them to trip. So yeah, best to use 12/3, but if you don't exceed 15A total draw, you should be ok.

    Of course even if you don't exceed 15A but it's on a 15A circuit and there are other devices on it plugged into different outlets, all bets are off and even 12/3 won't help you.

    I have a corded 15 AMP Sun Joe lawn Dethatcher. I need about 100 feet of cord to get across my front yard. Can I string together two 50', 14 gauge cords (which I already have) or do I need to move to 12 gauge?

    The 15 AMP rating on this cord is for only its 25' length, if you double or quadruple it up, it will have a lesser rating than 15 AMP. Given that 1) the 15 AMP rated need of the dethatcher will not be met by the rating of this cord when extended, and 2) the dethatcher will work better if it gets the full 15 AMPs even if the cord doesn't burn, I would go with a cord that is rated for 15 or more AMPs at 100 feet. It'd be best to check the dethatcher's owner's manual to see what it says about cord gauge.

    Thanks! I didn't see anything about cord size in the manual, but I'll check again and online.

    TIL that I'm an absolute idiot because I don't know everything there is to know about extension cords. It's one thing to explain something to somebody who has a knowledge hole somewhere, and another thing to assume that people who don't know the things you know are stupid. fark off with that bullshit

    15a cord is always 14 gauge. This isn't something new

    I went right for the 12/3 version and its a pretty low price and I was going to post it up here and a better alternative, it's like $24 which according to CCC is very good, and also qualifies for the 40% amex points discount if you have access to that.

    I'll post it up as a different deal, as many would prefer a useful 12/3 cord for not much more.

    That's correct. Length matters in Amp capacity of an electrical cord. A cord or string of cords longer than 50ft should be 12 gauge for 15A.

    I believe I purchased these cords from Costco last year. The thing I don't like about them is they are stiff as hell which is a turnoff for me to use them for yard work. I have other 12 gauge cords that are more flexible but they cost double the Costco price.
