Why can this not be stored in a coil?
ByDec 3, 2024
2 Answers | 
Answer This Question

Storing an extension cord in a coiled state can generate heat, especially during extended use. This is due to the electromagnetic fields created by the current flowing through the wires. When coiled, these fields can induce eddy currents within the cord itself, leading to energy loss in the form of heat. Excessive heat buildup can damage the cord's insulation and potentially create a fire hazard. It's always best to store extension cords loosely wrapped or on a reel to allow for proper ventilation and prevent heat buildup.

It's not to be USED in a coiled state, storing it in a coil is fine as it doesn't have a current running through it. No current, no heat.

      can this 50ft 16/3 light duty indoor/outdoor extension cord be use for Ryobi 1800 psi electric pressure washer? need to know the correct cord before purchase. if not this one what is the correct extension cord.
      ByMay 16, 2024
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      This 50 ft. 16/3 Light Duty Indoor/Outdoor Extension Cord is rated for 13 amps and 1625 watts. You'll need to check the amperage and wattage requirements of your Ryobi 1800 psi electric pressure washer. If the pressure washer's requirements exceed the cord's rating, you should not use this cord. Using an under-rated cord can be a fire hazard. For the correct extension cord, consult your pressure washer's owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended cord specifications. This information is usually found in the safety or electrical requirements section.

      Can I use this cord for my weed wacker?
      ByApr 25, 2024
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      It depends on the power requirements of your weed wacker. This extension cord is rated for 10 amps and 1250 watts. Check the specifications on your weed wacker to ensure its power draw is within these limits. Using an extension cord with a lower rating than required by your tool can damage both the cord and the tool. If your weed wacker requires more power, you'll need a heavier-duty extension cord with a higher amperage and wattage rating.

      I will have to return this purchase. The cord was working great until it overheated while using the electric trimmer.. The black insulation bubbled out of the plug. I will try again.

      Went up in smoke after a few months
      Went up in smoke after a few months. Bought it in June this year. At first i enjoyed using this cord to plug in my electric leaf blower as my construction guy had recommended it. The length was suitable for my large yard. Unfortunately After a couple of months the outlet burned and was melted and smoky while using it even though the power ratings said it was suitable. Will not buy again unfortunately.

        Good quality extension cord
        This is a great extension cord. It is thick and sturdy, and it's made in the Philippines. My only complaint is the bright orange color, which I expect will get dirtied and discolored quickly.

          Not a good product.
          It ripped off the first time I used it. The attached pic show the ripped part. I am thinking of getting another one. A clear waste of money.

            Home Depot showed this extension cord as what I should buy to go along with the PowerSmart 18 in. 15 Amp Corded Electric Snow Blower which I purchased. This is not the correct extension cord for this snow blower. There video for this extension cord shows that a 15 amp 100 foot cord needs to be 12 guage wire (heavy duty). This is light duty. This extension cord will work for light duty purposes like outdoor lighting but not for heavy duty purposes.

                I purchased the 20 inch Black and Decker chainsaw online to do some light duty work around my house and the website suggested I purchase this extension cord along with it. I wasn't sure at first if it was going to work and not blow fuses, but I've used them in combination several times now and have to say they make a great team. The saw is light and sturdy and so is the extension cord. At one hundred feet, it gives me the length I need to reach the jobs that need to be completed, it's light and easy to coil up and I've got the perfect drawer in my garage to store it. I'd highly recommend this extension cord for those little projects that arise when you own a home.
