Hopkins 47965 2 Pole Flat Extension Review

Actually not much to say. This is a 1 foot extension that gets the job done. I would give 5 stars if they included a protective cap on one of the ends.

No, I don't think it comes with instructions like people have pointed out, but it's pretty self-explanatory. ONE BIG THING you might not think of: each of the plugs has two pins; one isolated, one not. ALWAYS connect them so that the HOT terminal
