Almost pulled the trigger, but just read the following on a Garage Journal Forum "Ridgid and Southwire Extension Cords" thread and got an education:
"The reason these are so inexpensive is the type of insulation that was used. SJTW. It is thermoplastic. Better cords are SJOOW, use a synthetic rubber insulation that make them more flexible, especially in colder weather. Both of these cords are "weather resistant" but the more expensive one insulation is "oil resistant" on the inner and outer layers."
"If you live in an area that gets cold, I'd really avoid PVC or SJTW jacketed cords. They get super stiff once the temperature drops.
Look for SJOOW, SOOW, or SJEOW cord as mentioned. They will remain flexible even in extreme cold. I find that these cords also tend to hold up better than SJTW cords. "
"If flexibility is important to you and/or cord memory ie. becomes permanently twisted then avoid any cord composite that has "T" in the makeup. T = thermoplastic, which means it becomes stiff in cold weather and also is prone to warping over time."

All depends what you need to put at the end of them.
What you linked is likely fine for corded outdoor power tools.
I am thinking blowers, blower/mulchers that suck and grind leaves, pole and regular chain ssaws and so on.
do you think it will be okay for just one led light? Popcorn

heres a cheap 100' 16/3 for $20 (50%)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...TS6UC?th=1
16/3 at 100 ft it's 3A MAX and you probably don't want to run more than 2A sustained. That's pretty much a lamp.

This 12/3 is good for about 7A or 5A sustained.

Yes, just weighed mine at 12.5 with bathroom scale. I wasn't willing to pay $75 bucks earlier this year to use with a 13.5 A electric tiller. Got one off ebay for $55. This is a Black Friday deal right here. FYI if you could use a 20% coupon on a 12/3 100ft harbor freight cord its still about $65.

Add this and you have two 50 ft cords https://www.amazon.com/STARELO-PL...th=1&psc=1
that one is only rated for 16 and 14 AWG wires . this cord is 12AWG with 3 conductors. Look at my previous post for connectors that will fit 12/3 cords

"...Equipped with adjustable rear cord clamp for varying wires sizes (SJT 16/14)."
