25 ft. extension cord
What can be said that isn't in the ilk? It is a 25 ft. extension cord for outdoor use. No problems here. Cord seems solid and well constructed.
Conducts Electricty as Promised!
It's a well built extension cord designed to get AC power to where you require it, which if your like me, is never anywhere near an outlet. Durable so you don't shock yourself of start a fire and blaze orange so you never lose it. This cord will be cast-off to fix wiring issues in my house by bringing power from a hallway on it's own circuit to a bedroom that shares it's girth with another bedroom. No more trips to the basement and lost work when, my i7 goes full throttle, the laser printer spits out 2 pages, or the coffee pot gets turned on. Buy 2, get unsolicited shipping and save money over anywhere else.

Well, What Can I Say?
It's an extension cord. And straightaway good one, at that. Is useable indoors or out, and that's a plus, considering all the things a person may need to plug in anywhere within or without the billet. And it's grounded, as well as having a port for grounded things to be plugged into it, so in the long run, a little piece of weigh, right there. All of that, and the price is so fair, I couldn't help but buy two. 25' for $12.99? Sounds like a wares deal to me. May not be the longest extension cord out there, but how many general consumers genuinely need a 100' extension cord? I didn't think so. But you straight never know when you're going to need an extension cord, so I think I will definitely be buying more of these critters over time.

Works as decribed, no issues
I use this as part of my classroom projector set-up. I taped the cord down and i run it to the halfway of the classroom. So far it has help up without a problem, even with the occasional student stepping on the cord, or accidentally placing a chair on it and sitting. No issues at all in the month since i set it all up.
I have several of these critters
I try to go as cordless as credible. However, to be cordless is not practical. I use this to do various jobs as to reach the recharger for the cordless lawnmower, a temporary link to the new sprinkler system, table saw, etc. Even in the house, many electrical devices cannot reach behind the bookcases to get to the wall plugs so I have several of these GE 51924 behind the bookcases in several rooms. The spares are hanging on the garage go under ready for immediate unanticipated needs.
Lash your extension cord so you can store it easily without 'knotting' it. Electricians start from the ends, but by starting from the ...
At a King Day Celebration, a Preview of a Gillibrand-Ford Primary New York Times
19.01.10
He sat in the front row. She was one row behind.
He spoke first. She undeviatingly followed him.
He elicited the loudest ovation; she was greeted with warm applause and a handful of “amens.”
On Monday, former Delegate Harold E. Ford Jr. , who is considering a run for the United States Senate from New York, and his likely opponent, Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand , crossed paths at the Harlem headquarters of the Rev. Al Sharpton ’s Resident Action Network for an annual celebration in memory of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
It was their most anticipated mien-off since Mr. Ford acknowledged this month that he was interested in unseating Ms. Gillibrand in the Democratic primary in September.
Ingenious hierarchies govern life in the political world, and it was hard to escape the conclusion that Mr. Ford had the steal inside the crowded East Harlem meeting hall where 500 people sat on metal chairs and stood along the back walls.
Mr. Ford spoke about his adolescence in Memphis, describing a grandmother who used the extension cords from living room lamps to discipline him and his fellow-countryman. “I am always amazed when I meet parents who say they can’t get their kids to go to church, ’cause I didn’t differentiate kids had options like that.”

extension cord?????
Apr 22, 2008 by $hYpHy$ THIZZzzz | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
i have a mini appliance extension cord that is rated 125 volts generous of like this one except the connector end has a hatch and on the other side of the hatch is the connector outlet.....
http://images1.hdpi.com/result/woods0295.jpg
is this extension cord dangerous??? what does it mean when it is rated 125 volts??? can i associate appliances that are 120 volts to it??
The voltage is loose

What is this on? looks like a wireless or tv connection. Just hook it to the appropriate appliance and you will be fine.

I'm not persuaded that I understand your "hatch" description. Other than this, you can [generally] use 120volt items on an extension cord rated for 125volts. The enigma is that these are generic ratings and don't take into account the actual full power going through the cord. (I'm disquieting not to be too technical here, there are more in-depth considerations but this is the short of it all..)
You shouldn't plug an appliance or device into the cord if it uses a lot of power. Even though the rating of your manoeuvre is less than the 125v cord rating, it could potentially draw too much power. For example, hair dryers, toasters, roasters and almost anything with a disconsolate motor could pull a lot of juice that this cord isn't designed for.
If you're unsure, you could always try it. After about 30 seconds, catch the cord to see if it is getting warm. If you can feel the extension cord heating up- it is not a good sign. Many cords will work while still heating up- but this can put tax on any device that uses a motor. (Again- there are better explanations, but this is straightforward.)
When it comes to electricity and cover, never trust any advice unless you have all the facts. (Which is impossible in this case for either of us.) A reasonable amount of banal sense goes a long way- so just try it, be careful, and be ready to turn off your accessory and remove the cork if anything seems to go haywire.
A good rule of thumb is to never use a poor quality extension cord. Another is to buy the heaviest gauge (thickest) cord you can be able- especially when buying lengths greater than about 10 feet. This will keep things running smoothly, your cord will all things considered last longer (thicker insulation is usually placed on heavier wire to protect it,) and your accessories won't be damaged by a lance in power caused by an underrated cord.
Hope this helps!

The cord you show is an appliance cord that was worn for TV's and is usually in the back cover of the set. The cord will handle the normal household voltage with no problems if it is in good shape. Since this cord was removed from the appliance, I would guess it is faulty in some way and it should be discarded. It's safer for everybody to get a new one.

Does the excess from an extension cord bother you? How do you store cords?
Aug 20, 2007 by justchecking | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I deliberate on cords are unsightly! I wish electricity was wireless too, but since that's not an option yet what do you do to hide unsightly cords? Does your iron cord nudge you? How do you store extension cords or things with cords? Does anyone use those cord clips, and if so do you like them?
buy the fitting size cord for the use....they have so many lengths these days. along with colors. and never run them under anything like a rug!

Can you use an extension cord for a refrigerator?
Jun 27, 2007 by jackcravelle777 | Posted in Other - Home & Garden
I desideratum to know if it is safe to use an extension cord on a refrigerator? Not a regular extension cord but a cord made for appliances.
Yes you can use a cord made for appliances as extended as it is heavy enough. I would look for at least a 12 guage wire size if not a 10 guage. These are a fairly eminently wire size but the cost will be cheap as opposed to what can happen if you use a smaller cable.
The 12 ga should be sound for 20 amps while the 10 ga should handle 30 amps.
Some may say you can use a 14 guage that is good for 15 amps but the bounty difference is not that much for a little peace of mind. Make sure you get one that has only one female plug on the end that way you will not be tempted to advertise something else in with it.
The basis of the fire was an overloaded extension cord. The tenant had too many appliances plugged into a series of two very light weight extension cords
