I've done some reading and from what I gather, all these 12ga cords only have 15a plugs.
Even the 10ga cords have 15a plugs.
And, they all are rated at 1875 w, or less.
Sure do wish I had my old 10 + 8 ga cords. Thieves decided they needed them more than I did.
I have their 3-way splitter cord from past deals and it is very well-made and beefy.

Because 20A plugs/receptacles are incredibly uncommon in residential. I can't recall ever seeing one unless it was used purposefully.

In my younger years you could have a 20a 3 prong plug with the 15a blade configuration.
Back then, costs were equal to you getting your own run of 10ga 3 stranded wire and either slap on a 20a plug, or just put your own junction box in it.
Then again, it was all copper stranded wire (don't remember the strand ga, but you could bend the crap out of them and not break the strands)
I will give props to newer tech though. Back then, when it got to freezing, that cord was near impossible to roll up, if at all?
Now days, easy to roll them up in freezing temps.
Anecdotal reply, I reckon?
