OK, I'll play the game....but, in reality, as a so-called expert, you should know that ETL actually DOES conduct testing, in their own laboratories! And, you can actually verify the validity of an actual, tested product by using the number engraved into both the cord and the plug on the official ETL website (which I suppose you'll designate as "fake")! I'm well aware of the fact that unscrupulous companies are attaching phony labels, stickers, etc....but that's why someone who's enlightened (and actually does work in this industry) tries to educate others here....as opposed to actually providing false information....(which is exactly what you are doing)!
They happened to show up at a fortuitous moment, we lost power for a day and I wound up running a bunch of extension cords from our small generator.
Fit and finish doesn't seem to be as nice as other cords like this I've used — the plastic "feels cheap" — just not as robust as really nice ones I've had, and the outlet itself is quite "sticky" — more than a normal amount of pressure was required to fit a plug. I prefer "sticky" over "loose" but I'd rather not feel like I'm forcing plugs.
They seem to work fine? I imagine that they are slightly higher risk than a truly high quality product, but the risk seems hard to quantify. I guess I would need to understand what safeguards exist for failure in these items and what the surface area is for catastrophic failure.
From an unscientific "do they seem nicely made?" I'd say no, and maybe for that reason I'd try another brand next time.
