…I just bought three of them. I noticed that the plug end is kind of discolored, like it was burnt?! Usually, I don’t see that until it’s a few years old.

Unlike some recent extension cords I have tried out, this Yellow Jacket Heavy Duty Extension Cord is the real deal. Everything about this extension cord is super high quality. I needed to extend the length of the cord for my plug-in hybrid and this will allow me to safely carry the 15 amps a bit further. The most important part was the sockets not having any compromised connection to the cable. Most of the extension cords that I've reviewed had inferior connections that could be a fire hazard. I also like the lighted end to let me know that I forgot to unplug it after charging. The outer sheath has a nice plastic cover that should keep the cord protected from rain, grease, and grime for years to come. I'm highly impressed for the price point I paid. 5/5 stars.

I am always needing power to run things, like the Worx 800 blower, the coffee roaster, the large outdoor fan, the corded electric drill with wire brush for getting grill grates super-clean, the Looft lighter for lighting charcoal and smoker wood, and the shop vacuum. This highly capable extension cord allows me to roll the yellow DeWalt air compressor into the driveway for projects. A quality 12-gauge cord that can handle 1500 Watts is a wonderful and useful thing. This is an area to splurge if you can, because a good extension cord will last a lifetime. Mine cost about $22. And I added a cord reel to make storage a snap. For an extra $10 the reel is well worth eliminating the stress of tangled cords. I actually have two matching yellow 25-foot extension cords for the times that I need a bit more reach.

Too many times people pick an extension cord and then overload it; the conductor size on this cord will eliminate overheating and melting of the contacts inside the female receptacle and. It's a plus that it has a lighted in so you'll know when the other is energized.

Neat Pete! This is the heaviest extension cord I have ever owned and I used to be an electrician many moons ago. More than likely you know that your equipment will last the longest if you use an extension cord that doesn't let the heat causing amperage stack up to run amuck. Especially for larger equipment with a motor, etc. this is the cord you buy for lifetime of use! Hand it down to your oldest kid! It's prolly more than you need, size wise, but your expensive electrical gizmos will give YOU great reviews for using the Yellow Jacket Heavy Duty Extension Cord, 25Ft, 12 Gauge!
