At 10A rating and the 75 foot length, it's best for Christmas lights (modest display!) or something like that. I wouldn't recommend it for power tools!

Don't waste your money on this or any 16awg extension cord. 16awg copper conductors are only rated for 10amps and can easily get overloaded, heat up and possibly cause a fire before the 15amp circuit breaker in the panel trips.

It should be illegal to sell any extension cord that has 15amp plug ends and is rated for only 10amps. These are the type of extension cords that cause house fires.

I recommend buying only 12awg copper conductor extension cords. You can use a 12awg cord for almost anything on a 15amp circuit without having to worry about it being overloaded, 12awg copper is rated for 20amps.

I'm not running my good 12ga extension cords to run a 1 amp battery tender for my 96 tacoma by the barn.
Just use products properly and they are perfectly safe. This applies to everything.

Good enough to run some outdoor patio string lights couple times a month or invest in a better cable?

I would "invest" in a better product. IMHO these should have a built in fuse for 10A if they are only rated to 10A.

The problem too is that it looks like a cable. So even if you/I know not to use it for big loads… plenty of other people around the house who don't.

And the problem is that the failure method is "the cable catches on fire"

That's pretty much what this extension cord is designed for. Some people will tell you you need a 12 gauge extension cord to run your LED alarm clock. As long as your lights are under 10 amps, you are golden.

good point on using the right thing for your use case. 12awg is great, but its heavy. You want 12awg if you're running a tool, but there are plenty of cases where you don't need that much.

The problem is.... no one really ends up using an extension cord 'only' for one particular use, such as stringing some led lights.
Especially those that don't seem to presently have any cords and are asking if this cord will be appropriate for this or that.
They will ALWAYS come across the need for an extension cord for some other purpose and this is where the trouble comes... when they use this pee-wee thin 16ga 75 foot cord 'just this one time' to plug in a sump pump, space heater, or other high-draw device. Then they burn the house down.
That 12 ga cord would have covered those jobs, and most any future situation, whereas with this one you'll be 'handcuffed' to only using it for that ONE ultra-light job.

Right. A hedge trimmer is the max power tool I'd run off this. Think of lights mostly. A light electric drill, battery tools charger, along those lines. But as people said others in the house will assume it can do anything because the plugs fit and it reaches.

I get your point. I'd say 14ga as minimum. It can run all but biggest motors or heaters and I hope if someone has something that needs a 12ga they would be smart enough to use it instead. As for a law I'd say imprinted in both ends "16ga LIGHT DUTY ONLY", or "12ga HEAVY DUTY" "14ga MEDIUM DUTY". I have a dozen cords and don't remember what ga they are myself. Now I must guess by weight and thickness.

Or they drop the voltage so low the motor in your powertool burns up.
