                    Extension cords, everyone has them. But I'm sure everyone of us has had that moment where we needed and extension cord for using that power tool of something that needed power close to the power source and all they have is that 6 inch plug and we are stuck with pulling out the 50 or 100 ft. extension cord. Well, with the GE 25 ft. 3-Wire 16-Gauge Grounded Indoor/Outdoor Extension Cord, you got reliability in the GE name and just enough cord for those short distance power jobs without causing spaghetti from their longer partners.

                    This 25 ft. 3-Wire 16-Gauge Grounded Indoor/Outdoor Extension Cord is a great addition to any garage.

The cord also features a nice insulated coating allowing for use outdoors in all weather conditions. The bright orange color allows for high visibility in all conditions and at all times.

                    Living in the country a long way from even the nearest small village we depend upon the integrity of miles of power lines strung on poles. Lighting strikes and other weather events can cut our supply so then we rely on a generator and extension cords to power our refrigerator, wood pellet stove and of course internet access and other essentials. This is an excellent extension cord that will replace an old one that is no longer safe to use. It does a good job of avoiding tangles and the plug and socket seem well made. I anticipate it will give many years of good service.

                    Reviewing the 25 foot indoor outdoor 3 wire 16 gauge general purpose grounded cord with molded plug and receptacle. Polarized for proper alignment. Great for electrical hand tools lights seasonal lighting displays etc. the shorter length is great for those smaller jobs with minimal excess cord laying around. Nice quality cord by G E. Cord is double insulated.

                      Extension Cord
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a handy dandy extension cord! It came in great use for our Christmas lights. The gauge was perfect to run all the lights we had wrapped around our house, included some inflatables in the yard. My husband wired an outlet from his garage to power heavy duty cords like this. Great quality cord.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This extension cord is well made. It has heavy duty insulation, the joints are well made. It’s a little bit on the heavy side, but still flexible. Resistant to scratches from dragging on asphalt, and rain.
