Good heavy duty extension cord. I bought the 25’. I love the socket hook design; when I use it, I hang it on a garage wall hook to keep the socket off the garage floor. I love how the power socket indicator light shows that the electric outlet is working. I recommend this extension cord.

I needed a 40 ft 12 GA extension cord for dedicated indoor shop use, to be surface mounted along a wall but in two spots running behind some dust collection pipes with tight clearance. Since I was going to have to cut off and replace one end (or the other) in order to successfully fit it along the intended location, I decided to get a 50' length in order to end up with a bonus 10' spare extension after minimal re-work.On delivery, I was skeptical that the 8-1/2" square by 3-1/2" high corrugated box it was packaged in was big enough to hold a 50' 12 AWG cord, but ironically it probably would have. The cord when measured was only 49' long, but there was a tiny bit of volume remaining in the box, enough to hold one additional foot which would have made the claimed length correct. Oh well, for my intended use 49' was close enough, so I did not send it back.Before cutting I tested to make sure polarity was correct (it was) and otherwise that it functioned as an extension cord is expected to - which it mostly did, but not entirely. I found that the receptacle end would not safely accept a plug - like another reviewer noted, plugs (I tried several) would only insert halfway and would not go in any further despite a great deal of force applied. Interestingly, the circuit was actually completed but the plug contacts were left with about 1/2" dangerously exposed. With the re-work I was planning anyway this was not an issue for me, I just replaced the receptacle, but for normal use it would certainly have been an issue. Can't say if the receptacle problem occurs often, but it apparently happened to at least one other customer.While doing the re-work I observed the internal construction and can report that the current carrying wires are indeed 12 AWG, as claimed, and are made from quality bright copper. The ground wire was only 14 AWG, also copper. Technically this extension cord should be listed as 12/2 with ground, instead of as 12/3, but to me that is a minor point. In normal operation grounds do not carry current. When they do carry current, it is in response to an unsafe condition wherein high currents will quickly trip a breaker or blow a fuse, and low currents should trip a GFCI, and in either case overheating would be very unusual, justifying a smaller diameter. All conductors are stranded, with a relatively high number of strands for good flexibility. Each wire is insulated with plastic (probably PVC?) rated for 105 deg C, and colored black, white, and green for hot, neutral and ground, respectively. The spaces between the three wires are filled with many strands of non-stretchable (and non-conductive) threads in three groupings. Some kind of thin spun-woven fabric wraps them all together under a relatively heavy but still flexible and highly visible orange outer jacket.To sum up, the socket end of this product was certainly not perfect, and the length while good enough didn't quite give full measure, and the listing spec should be 12/2 with ground instead of 12/3. However, the core definitely exceeded expectations, so considering only factors important to me this product got 4 stars. However, if you can't or don't want to handle a potential plug/receptacle issue (either by return or repair), or needed length of 50' is critical, then you probably are best advised to not get this particular product.

Works well for my uses.

Nice, heavy duty extension cord. Lights up so you know it is on.
