Simple extension cord.

Using it for a LCD Projector extension cord. Needed 50ft of it. Working perfectly fine. The projector'power cord was 18 gauge, this is 16gauge. Not expecting any fires any time soon.Cord is pliable enough not be to be annoying. The point at which the cords meet the male and female ends seem sturdy enough for me.

Pros
  • Weather-resistant and durable enough to withstand prolonged exposure to the elements
Cons
  • The cord may get tangled with other cords in the same location

Not durable. - my new review

I do not think this is as durable as some others you would find on amazon. It does do the job, but wouldn’t expect it to last a long time. I would spend a few more extra dollars and buy a different brand

Pros
  • I use it for my leaf blower and it's been handy! No issues so far - I've had it for four months now.
Cons
  • It may overheat if connected to multiple devices

Good Quality best in my review

My only complaint is the size of the female end. It appears to be over-sized to the extent that I have to force it into the recessed plug of my leaf blower. Otherwise, it is a good quality and works for my uses.

Pros
  • It does what its supposed to. I also prefer dark green to orange.
Cons
  • The cord cannot be used with heavy-duty tools

Cheap and reliable good for me

This is the second time I purchase this exact same product! I needed another 50-foot extension cord for my garage and it was a no brainer for me to purchase the exact same one I've had and owned for two years.

Pros
  • High-quality conductive wires ensure optimal power delivery
Cons
  • It may not be rated for use in hazardous environments

No-brainer for a power extension

This is exactly what I was looking for, as my house has only one outlet in the garage, so it's hard to plug any electric device outside the house. I bought one that I let in the basement, as it has only a couple of outlets close to the washing machine, so I can use electric devices basically anywhere in it.Solid build, bright orange color so it's impossible not to notice it, flawless product. I'm very happy I got two of them.

Pros
  • Great product. I’d definitely buy it again if I ever need
Cons
  • The 3-prong design could be uncomfortable for some users

Sturdy and works well

I use this all the time, often outside. It is sturdy and works reliably - seems like it will last since it doesn't scuff too much.

Pros
  • Extension Cords
Cons
  • The cord may not hold up in extreme weather conditions

Great buy so far. - my new review

ebay brand first because of Value for money. Its sturdy, I have used twice for my leaf blower and it serves me well. Can't tell about durability yet, but so far so good. I recommend it.

Pros
  • Heavy-duty extension cord that can handle demanding conditions
Cons
  • It may not work well with electric bicycles or scooters

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Heavy duty for my opinion

I bought it for using with an electric mower. It has suffered a couple of incidents but the double isolation has helped. I don't know how long it is going to last but it provides good value for the price

Pros
  • Over all its a great product and for the money it’s worth it.
Cons
  • The cord may get damaged if stepped on

Excellent Value! for my opinion

I'll keep my review "Basic" and to the point.This extension cord works great and priced even better. I have had it in use for over and it's doing well, in both indoor and outdoor situations. I can't find a single complaint about it. When I read the negative reviews, I'm sure they're complaining about issues that are user-error. Extension cords aren't meant to be yanked around or have tension constantly on them; they'll break. If you use it as intended, you'll have a problem-free cord…

Pros
  • Green colored to mix in with vegetation. Seems good quality.
Cons
  • The cord may interfere with other electronic devices

Does the job - my new review

So far, so good. Been using these around the yard for months and seem to be holding their own. I had to trim the extra plastic chunk off the female end to get it to plug directly into my hedge trimmer and weed whacker but other than that, decent, cheap extension cords!

Pros
  • First one i bought 3 years ago is still working and this is my second
Cons
  • The cord can be easily tripped over

Light Weight for Occasional Use

This is a light weight cord suitable for many uses but not as thick or heavy as the construction grade I had that someone just couldn't pass up This suits my current need well.

Pros
  • Nice Cord holds up well doesn’t twist its self or kink
Cons
  • The bright color may not match some decors

Doesn't fit into Black 'n Decker products

This was recommended by ebay for a Black'n Decker lawn/yard tool I bought. It doesn't fit into the space provided by Black'n Decker to actually plug into it. So I have to use another extension cord that does fit - made by Black'n Decker, to use this. As a result - somewhat of a waste of money.

Pros
  • RELIABLE POWER: 50-foot heavy-duty indoor/outdoor extension cord rated 13 Amps, 1625 Watts and 125 VAC
Cons
  • The cord may not have a locking mechanism to stay in place

Durable extension cord

I got this cord to do yard work. and we have been using outside and it is holding very well. I do recommend it, and the price was excellent too for a 50 foot cord.

Pros
  • Great extension cord, easy to use.
Cons
  • The cord is not bendable in tight spaces

Standard Quality wires

Needed a bunch of these and purchasing from the big box store was around the same price per unit. However they were out, but it seems like they're all of consistent quality.

Pros
  • DURABLE: Grounded 16-gauge vinyl covered extension cord with 3-prong plug and insulated conductors
Cons
  • The cord may not have a shut-off switch

Very nice extension cord

I purchased this ebayBasics extension cord because it has the hard plastic inserts around the receptacle openings like the more expensive heavy duty extension cords. The Walmart brand (Hyper Tough) 16ga 50 foot extension cord is a few dollars cheaper, but it does not have those hard plastic inserts that prevent the receptacle openings from becoming distorted with high heat and use. They make the difference with an extension cord being an okay cord or a great cord that will last many years of…

Pros
  • Professional-grade performance at an accessible price point
Cons
  • It may not have adequate protection against children or pet tampering

Great extension cord/great value too

Very pleased with my new cord. I use it for my lawn blower and my spotlight for my wreaths. Sturdy and useful. Great and perfect length.

Pros
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and reliability
Cons
  • The cord may not work well with back-up generators

Gets Hot after 20 Minutes Useage

Depending on what you are using the the extension cord for, it is a quality product. I used it with both my hedge clippers and my blower/mulcher/vacuum and it performed well for about 20 minutes with each. I rated it a 4 stars because after 20 minutes the cord became extremely warm. I was afraid it would burn out so I only used the extension cord for 20 minutes at a time and then let the tool rest to cool down the cord. It may be ok for out door lighting but I wouldn't recommend it for lawn…

Pros
  • Three-pronged design guarantees safe and efficient energy transfer
Cons
  • The cord may not be compatible with outdoor lighting systems

Plug is too big good for me

Seems like sturdy enough 3-prong extension cord, but their plug doesn't fit w/in the area on my electric edger. I assumed they were all the same size? Bummer.

Pros
  • Tangle-free design helps prevent frustrating cord knots
Cons
  • The cord may not have a long enough lifespan for some users

Great value good for me

Just needed a quick extension cord for my front yard spot light. This worked for me great and is currently underground with no issues. Would buy again for other uses as well

Pros
  • Heavy-duty insulation protects against the elements and physical damage
Cons
  • It may not be suited for professional use

What can I say about a humble extension cord that hasn’t been said already. This ebay Basics one is just as functional as any other cord.It arrived loosely wrapped but in good condition. No bent prongs and contained all the "This will hurt you if you play with it wrong” labels. Those are always helpful. It's UL listed so you probably won’t be electrocuted if you walked on it (disclaimer: your mileage may vary). This baby has all those sweet bells and whistles, but wait! There's more.My family…

Pros
  • Work good
Cons
  • The cord may not be compatible with certain tools or devices
