I have several of these that I've bought over the years on sales. There's nothing worse than going to some other dood's house and watching his jump houses blow his breaker because he's running 16ga Christmas light extension cords to them.
This 100 foot 12 gauge Southwire cord is built for heavy duty use, with full copper conductors and solid plug connectors that stay barely warm under a 1800 watt heater load. The 12 gauge rating makes it the right class for higher draw jobs like heaters and jump houses, and the 15 amp label appears tied to the plug style and cord length rather than the wire itself. The tradeoff is weight, with the cord landing around 14 pounds and feeling very heavy. A sturdy long run when durability matters more than portability.
buyers who want a heavy-duty, full-copper extension cord for durability because multiple commenters say it's super heavy and is 100% copper with solid plug connectors.
people setting up temporary power for heavy-duty outdoor use (like jump houses) because commenters warn that thinner 16ga extension cords can trip breakers and recommend using 12ga instead.
renters or anyone who needs an easy-to-carry extension cord because multiple commenters call this 12/3 100ft cord very heavy (about 14 lb) and note it's "dang, it's HEAVY."
Yes. The 100 ft 12/3 cord is reported to be very heavy, with one estimate putting it at about 14 lb. It is also described as staying barely warm under an 1800W heater load.
It is used for high-load jobs such as an 1800W heater and jump houses, and 12-gauge is preferred over thinner 16-gauge cords for those loads. The practical reason is that thinner cords can trip breakers under heavy draw.
The 15A rating is likely tied to the plug and receptacle compatibility, not the wire gauge alone. 12-gauge wire can carry 20A, but this cord's plug reportedly will not fit a 20A receptacle.
Yes, it is described as 100% copper with solid plug connectors. That is contrasted with cheaper CCA cords that use copper-clad aluminum and thinner ends.
If you do not need the full 100 ft, two 50 ft cords can cost about the same or less at Costco on sale. That can be more practical when shorter runs are enough.

Have a 12ga extension cord. Be a man.
Shut your dirty mouth you can run anything on those 18 gauge green extension cords! When they say low voltage lighting on them it's just a recommendation!
This is what I was just looking through the comments to confirm before I buy.
It's FPVC. It will get rock hard/rigid with cold temps. You need to look for a rubber extension cord which are harder to find because they're $$$. If I were pressed for the application I'd make a cable:
First got a 14g to recharge my EV at home. The wire extension got so hot it blew the 20A circuit. Then got this 12g and it still was not working right. Had to get a 10g and no longer have any problems and recharge at 12A.
