Most circuits in a house are wired with 14/2. Nothing wrong with 14/2 extension cords; especially under 50'. An issue may arise running high powered items when the length exceeds 50' as there will be...

Both this cord and the Costco Cords are cheap CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) wire which is why they are stiff. CCA = Higher Resistance + Lower Capacity than old school pure copper extension cords. ...

I believe I purchased these cords from Costco last year. The thing I don’t like about them is they are stiff as hell which is a turnoff for me to use them for yard work. I have other 12 gauge cords...

That’s correct. Length matters in Amp capacity of an electrical cord. A cord or string of cords longer than 50ft should be 12 gauge for 15A.

The 15 AMP rating on this cord is for only its 25' length, if you double or quadruple it up, it will have a lesser rating than 15 AMP. Given that 1) the 15 AMP rated need of the dethatcher will not...

Any single device that draws more than 15A continuously will not plug into this because by law it'll have a 5-20P plug on its cord, unless you use an adapter, which is illegal and stupid. But, agreed...
