Edit (3/21): Just dropped to $19.97.
YMMV. The .97 price tag indicates it is clearance markdown from the store manager.
Select Costco Warehouse Stores have this Extreme 50 FT AWG 12/3 SJEOOW extension cord on
clearance price now - $29.97 (was $39.99 on sale). See my
previous post.
Best flexible extension cord (basically the US Wire brand, made in the USA), SJEOOW. Check photos for details. Has one lighted plug-in end.
If you just want a cheap (lower quality, less flexible) extension cord, this is NOT for you. There are plenty of cheap SJTW cords out there. Select Costco stores carry a two-pack Prime Wire 30 ft SJTW extension cords for $24.99 at my store (see
this post posted by SharkStyle).

SJEOOW indicates:
SJ - Service Junior rated at 300 VAC
E - Thermoplastic Elastomer
OO - Oil-resistant insulation and outer jacket
W - Weather-resistant for outdoor use

I got a 100' 12/3, and I need a sturdy reel for it. The ones I've seen cost well over $100. If anyone knows of a *high-quality* good deal for a 100 ft. cord, please pass it along. ty

Not knowing much about these different cables, I got the 50 ft yellow cable spindle last week.
Are the 2 yellow cables better or if this one in the deal better than the spindle? I think the spindle cable is also 12 gauge.

Some people have successfully hacked the air reels to take power cords but that's not something I was willing to do even though I'm very capable. Just wanted something that worked instead of jerry rigging things.
edit- For some reason I put 'automatic' in my head. You won't find automatic reels for that cost as far as I know. A manual reel though, DIY. Bucket and things. YouTube it. I purchased and installed automatic/power reels.
