Review on RVGUARD NEMA 6-50R Receptacle, 250 Volt 50 Amp Female Plug, 6-50R Welder Replacement Receptacle by Steve Modesto

Using this to make up a welder extension cord. Naturally wanted something heavy duty. Was excited by the apparent quality of the exterior. Seemed solid, nice feel, etc. However, once opened to wire up, I was less excited. While no doubt this could pass some limited test for 50 amps, the actual wiring components seemed too light duty for me. Very thin and an attempt to increase rigidity by using stamped bends into the tines. The tines are EASILY bent, in fact the ground tine on mine was bent out so far I doubt the would even be much contact. I could bend it back into place, but no thanks for long term re-plugging heavy duty use. Compared to my Hubble plug on the other end, this thing is built like a toy. Some reviews mentioned the possibility of using heavier gauge wiring. No real chance of that. Good luck with anything heavier than 10 or 12,
