ATTENTION TO THE BUYER! No guarantee

Good cables, they are used to provide an address to ship faulty cables, they no longer do. A contact phone number is available on the Revains website under the warranty product details section. That's another company's number that has nothing to do with the yellow cords. Bottom line no warranty, buy if you need a good cable but don't expect them to meet the warranty issue.

Pros
  • HIGH GLOSS YELLOW Housing resistant to oil, grease, moisture and abrasion
Cons
  • Unusable properties

Love the high quality!

Ordered several of these and was very impressed! Yes, they are more expensive than the cheap ones you can buy at most stores. Yes, they last longer. Yes, they're better at withstanding the elements (think Christmas lights. yes). And I love, love the light at the "end of the power strip" (where you plug something in) so you really know there's power there! That might sound silly, but it certainly saves you the trouble of wondering if it's the device you're plugging in or the cable. Right?

Pros
  • Ideal for use with heavy equipment and tools
Cons
  • Not sure

Heavy duty cable to keep your family safe

I love this cable and feel very confident. I finally figured out the size of the wire. I've always wondered why previous cables got hot. This is because they were never intended to be used with small power tools. This cord will take almost anything you can plug into a 110 outlet. I will never buy another cord that isn't at least 12 gauge wire. I can't believe other brands sell 16 gauge extensions. They shine. i had two I never knew it had anything to do with wire gauge. Now I'm an educated…

Pros
  • Standard vinyl compound
Cons
  • Suitable

Lasts best 5 months in extension cords

I had high hopes for this cord! on our property. I had low power Christmas stringers plugged into 2 of 3 outlets and the other outlet was free. Great for 5 months and then broke. The sockets to which the stringers were plugged burned out. I put something in an antifreeze socket, I disconnect my GFC. I'm disappointed because I didn't use it to supply much power - it was only used to power stringer lights - I've read a lot of reviews about how good these products are, but maybe I've got a dud ?

Pros
  • STRONG clear molded plugs strong, durable and oversized
Cons
  • Reliable

Not for cold weather use, weak forks

There is no doubt that this is a quality product when it comes to durability. The connectors are of high quality, are a snug fit and are backlit on both sides to show that the performance is excellent. However, I hate the plastic cable cover. It's very stiff in cold weather and has a "memory" so it wants to keep its shape. It puckers easily, you can see stress lines when it puckers. Summer in Phoenix would be great but if the weather is under 50 I would turn it down. The jacket lasted less than

Pros
  • HEAVY DUTY 12 gauge, 3 pin, 50ft extension
Cons
  • Plenty

Best Job Site Cord

I work in residential construction and carry my 25', 50' and 50' 10/3 Yellow Jacket cords around construction sites. around 12-14 years old and 25 years old, the shell finally broke, which is a violation of OSHA and WISHA. I take care of my cords as best I can, when I roll them I do it gently, don't let them get knots, wipe them off when dirty. They can spend weeks and months driving a construction site they walk, knocking over and throwing wood, driving trucks, using dirt, gravel, mud and…

Pros
  • Yellow Jacket cords are more flexible and abrasion resistant in all temperatures than
Cons
  • Weight

Best Job Site Cord

I do home construction and haul my Yellow Jacket 25, 50 and 50 foot 10/3 cords to job sites for about 12-14 years and on my 25 foot case it's finally over torn. which is a violation of OSHA and WISHA. I take care of my strings as best I can, folding them carefully, avoiding knots, rubbing them in the dirt. You can roll on a walk-in site for weeks and months, saw and throw drugs, get run over by trucks, use and consume drugs through dirt, gravel, mud, get caught on many things, spend money…

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • I'll add later

12 gauge is very flexible.

Don't like. Replacement for 14ga 25ft Big Store brand. Feeds Frigidaire ac - maximum consumption 6.2 amps, normal between 5 and 6 amps. (The value depends on the inside and outside temperature) The system is constantly monitored by a charge air thermometer Kill a Watt and AC. Low current and higher than normal discharge air temperature indicate refrigerant loss. In any case, the 14ga showed some heating at 6 amps, but that's okay. The voltage dropped about 3 volts at the end of the AC cord…

Worth Every Penny Best Cables, Adapters & Multiple Sockets

I have a large yard that sometimes requires power tools away from home. I can run anything with this cord, including an underground pool pump that I move from its normal location for other pumping work (season open cover drain and hot tub drain). This cable does not get hot at the ends. MADE IN THE USA. The lighting at the end isn't really superfluous. This wire isn't easy to work with, but you can't fool a 12-gauge wire. The ultimate test came unexpectedly when Storm struck Irene. We were…
