Damn inflation. Who remember the 3-pack deal from Home Depot for less than $10?

I'd only ever consider a #16 AWG cord for low amp draw uses, like christmas lights. NEVER for a motor load.

Not really, 15.60 put it inline with full price from harbor freight so fine if you need it I guess. It was an okay deal. At 20 i'd pass.

blah, blah, blah, blah. always the same old story, people saying you can't use these for anything but christmas lights. it is rated for **13 amps** or 1625 watts. you can use A LOT OF THINGS with one of these cords on 13 amps or 1625 watts. you can even run a microwave. plug it in and see for yourself. since most people only run a microwave a few minutes at a time, and the microwave cycles on and off, the cord will not get that hot in only a handful of minutes. there is a big difference between a sustained high-load draw, and brief short bursts of large surges.

to tell people they can only use this cord for christmas lights is irresponsible.

Where did I tell ANYONE how to use this cord? I only said what I would use it for.

You can use it what whatever you f'ing want. I don't care. I only know that I would choose a #14 or #12 cord over this cheap cord.

Raging on a deal site over an extension cord is rethink one's life time.

it gets old after a while. every time there is a deal for an extension cord, that is a thinner cord, someone has to come along and tell everyone that it's only good for christmas lights. baloney. you can use this cord to plug in many things. sure, there are applications where you would want a heavier gauge wire, like certain power tools, and you will pay a lot more, but to say this can only be used for christmas lights is baloney.

not necessarily does one need to pay more money for a much thicker and stiffer and less flexible cord. many people could use this to power a fan, portable ac, a tv, or their fridge or freezer in the garage, etc. many more applications than simply powering christmas lights.

if this fella would never use a 16 gauge extension cord, then what is he doing in this thread? the gauge is listed right in the title. so he came here as the safety police just to warn us not to run high wattage, high amps devices with a thinner cord?

hopefully folks have enough common sense to know when they need a heavier gauge extension cord for running high current applications. it's nice to have a heavier cord for when you require it, but not *every* single extension cord needs to be of a heavier gauge. i have a variety, and use the appropriate ones accordingly.

Or perhaps I should refrain from posting when I've had an adult beverage (or 2).

That guy just happened to push more than 1 of my buttons.
