These are NOT designed to be used with appliances that draw more than 10-12 amps. These are generally used with power strips to offset bulky power adapters (that hog up space on the strip). For that purpose, they're perfectly safe. For use with high current applances (like microwaves and hair dryers), don't use these! Besides, a 1 foot cord doesn't really do much to extend the original cords anyway!

I bought some of these in the past (different brand), really handy for tight spaces or where you want the transformer away from power strip/outlet.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank BigBG

CCC says these go on sale at this price (or better) every month.

These look really handy. I might buy some.

EDIT: I bought them. YIKES. I don't recommend these at all. The quality of these is like early 2000s chinese market stuff. I am returning these to Amazon.

Says ETL but the 1 star reviews seem pretty legit too.

Have bought some from a different brand in the past with no issues, they are handy if you trust the manufacturer.

From personal experience, you dont want cords that are glued together from 2 pieces. They'll eventually get warm and possibly pull apart, exposing the bare wires inside. Look at the male end on pics #5 and #6.

Are these really safe to use with fridges, electric car chargers, vacuums, microwaves, and hair dryers?
16 gauge seems like it would be a little too small but it is only 1 foot.

Not sure what one would need this for. Matches or a lighter are much less expensive if you're trying to burn your house down.

Says 13A limit. Why push it when you could getter a higher rated cable?

IF these are "ETL" certified, then there's no risk....unless they're overloaded, and that's on the person using them, not the cord. They claim that they have the certification. The only way to know for certain is to purchase them. You can then go to the ETL site and check the validity (based upon a number that should be stamped on each cord/plug).
If there's no UL or ETL certification, you're right. If there is, you're wrong.

Yes this exactly. The gauge wire size is small and could be dangerous. Spend some more and get a higher gauge cable rated for 15 amps
