How durable is this recepticle? Can it handle impact in cooler temps?
Asked by Longjohn November 16, 20201
AnswerDepending on what you mean by colder temperatures. I've had mine outside all winter long for Christmas Decorations a few years in a row now without any issues. Granted I live in SC, it gets below freezing a few times a year and I have not had any issues with it
How well does a 16/3 ext cord fit in this outlet?
Asked by Jimbo78 April 25, 20201
AnswerTHE PLUG WORKS ON MOST CORDS WITH NO PROBLEM. IF CORD DIA IS TOO THIN YOU MAY HAVE TO WRAP TAPE TO BUILD UP OUTER DIA TO CLAMP DOWN ON WIRE JACKET.

Asked by john August 29, 20192
AnswersMaybe the male terminals you are trying to use with the plug are a bit oversized. You can try filing the terminals down a little and see if you get an easier fit. I run into this problem sometimes and I use my grinding wheel - it’s a lot quicker and easier than filing.
Is there a safe way to use this with my Toro weed whacker (on an extension cord)?
Asked by SushiBreath May 18, 20193
AnswersThis should be fine for any device drawing 15a or less. If the device uses close to 15 amps and you are extending the factory power cord length, make sure to use a thicker gauge power cord than it comes with.
What connector do you recommend for 14/3 cord? Will this work?
Asked by Mbrenna1 May 23, 20183
AnswersThe item description clearly says it can be used with power cords 12-18 gauge. 14/3 is 14 gauge with 3 conductors (black (hot), white (neutral), Green (ground) ) so yes, this plug will work with your 14/3 cord.

AnswersIt can be used outdoors, but it's not water-tight so it must be shielded from rain and snow.

March 11, 2018
Solid construction from a little tool. The connection screws are very secure and you have enough room to get 3 wires snug within the outlet cover. The plug fits easily into the wall outlet and there are no issues with connections. No sparks, no sizzles. The plug is clean and should last a long time. Connecting the wires is made easy by releasing both caps. Simply push in to release the plastic tabs that hold it together.

March 10, 2018
The receptacle on my new 12/3 extension cord melted when the leaf blower I bought from Home Depot burst into flames (see pic). I ordered this based on the description, "Built-in cord grip adjusts automatically for use with 18-12 AWG". I should have read the Q&A before ordering, because you can make it fit, by notching the sheathing (see pic), but it clearly is not designed for 12/3 ... nor outside use.
I love the simple clamshell design, and it is definitely worth the price ... but the fact it is designed for indoor 16/3, makes me question the value. 12/3 is expensive, but Home Depot sells 25' 16/3 single receptacle cords for $10 (I have never used a cord longer than 25' indoors). Tools out to clean up, it took me about half an hour to install.
3 Pole Grounding Cord Outlet
May 30, 2016
Need to replace my 75' outlet plug since it was worn and need to be replace. It was simple to replace it. Make sure the black (hot) goes on the brass screw and the white (neutral) wire goes on the silver and the green (ground) wire goes on the green screw. I like the one piece and the it hinges. Only one screw holds it together. It hold the cord tight in the plug. I ran several tools off it and it didn't get warm. Good product for the price.

Good product, however be aware that this connector is difficult to use with Black and Decker edgers because the plug is a touch large to fit easily.
Good repair for my orange 100' long extension cord because the wire on the cord near the original connector was exposed and needed to get cut off and repaired with this product.

They are very user-friendly and are much lower profile, i.e., the female end fits into all of my appliances that others won't.
Worked Just Fine
October 9, 2020
My hedge trimmer cut the cord near the female end of the extension. So I bought this connector to fix it. Worked just fine. Here’s a video of how to do it. https://youtu.be/BRQ_onyU3uY

October 7, 2020
My 100-ft extension cord was mowed over and cut in two pieces. My research indicated repairing the cord was a safety hazard, but making two separate cords was OK. Using just a philips head screwdriver and a razor blade (plus some electrical tape for a cleaner look), I was able to turn one end into a 95’ extension cord for use with the mower and the other end into a 5’ extension cord for use with a short cord lamp without problem. Works excellent. A great value for the price.
Note: I did put a gracious amount of electrical tape around the connector because it doesn’t seem waterproof. The electrical tape probably won’t make it completely waterproof, but it seems safe enough to use with an outdoor electrical box.

I was the perfect solution to repair my extension cord after I cut the end off with the hedge trimmer.
