ProStar 100 Foot 10 Gauge SJTW 3 Conductor Triple Tap Extension Cord With Lighted Ends - Orange

I needed an outdoor extension cord for long-term/permanent use to power an electric fence charge about 85 feet from the house. We've been using it for a few months and have been very happy with it. It's ridiculously sturdy - I probably didn't need a 10-gauge cord, but I'm glad I have it. It's been exposed to some pretty serious elements - rain, sleet, snow, and a little sun now and then - and it's holding up, so I'd say the weatherproof claims are solid, and I have every reason to believe that it will continue to be durable and sturdy.

The Century Wire 100ft 10/3 Tri-Cap Cord is an excellent product at an excellent price ($64.97 with Free Shipping). I have ran my  Poulan Pro 400E 18-Inch 4.0 HP Electric Chain Saw  at distances up to 225 feet (200 feet with Century Wire 100ft 10/3 and the last 25 feet with  Coleman Cable 02587 25-Feet 12/3-Wire Gauge Vinyl Outdoor Extension Cord With Lighted End, Yellow  with no evidence of overheating or loss of power. Don't get me wrong I like Coleman cable products, but the diameter of the Century Wire 100ft 10/3 is at least 50 - 75 % greater.The importance of adequate electrical equipment is a common topic of electric chainsaw users. To paraphrase one commenter:"I have read most of the complaints of "smoking motors", black soot on the motor housing" "The saw quit after a half hour" and on and on. I also have a Poulan Pro 400E electric chain saw and am able to say that after trimming limbs 8 to 11 inches on 5 oak trees, cutting them up for disposal and then about 4 months after that, I went through the same scenario at my son's house and ran the saw almost constantly of 2 1/2 hours. Now here is what I am seeing with the above comments. You cannot run this saw on a 25,50 or 100 foot WalMart 16 gauge wire cord. 16 and even 14 gauge wire cords have smoked many many electric motor driven equipment. Here is my secret. 1. follow the owners manual, I use a 50 foot 12 gauge wire cord and a 100 foot 12 gauge wire cord and the saw hardly even gets warm. Poulan does NOT recommend using a 100 foot cord, however, I truly believe that is just a precaution to keep people from using `16 gauge 100 ft. cord."Since I have been using a 200 foot Century Wire 10/3 I have had no problems using my chainsaws for hours at a time. And at a price of $64.97 with Free Shipping, I highly recommend this product!

excellent quality, delivers Amps without blowing out fuse or heating up the cord as it happens with thinner cords. Can use an electric Bosch hammer over 100 feet using a couple of these cords without problems.

this is exactly what I needed. this is a 100ft 20amp, 10/3, osha standards grade, contractors cord.I bought this cord to operate a 1.5hp electric wood chipper. This it did flawlessly. no heating of the cord was felt.I inspected this cord fully when it came in. I could find no faults in the construction or materials. This came on a barely above freezing day and it remained pliable, most cords I have were hard at this temp. all in all, I am very happy with this purchase.

Used instead of temp power building our new home. With 3 way splitter, works great for all tools.

I read the other reviews, and decided to try it anyways - for $65 it's less than half of a 100ft 10/3 and a triple tap. I'm pretty impressed so far. Connectors are solid. It ran the 15000 BTU A/C in my RV without the cable heating. The 16 guage I previously tried melted. Perhaps other 10/3's are even thicker - this one is plenty thick for any 15 amp full draw. One note: The "Alert Stamping 7000WR Pro-Reel Cord Carrier" does not fit this cord, it is too thick.

Good electrical cord, fantastic price! Considerably cheaper then any local options. I ordered this with some hesitation. It arrived and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a good cord, well manufactured. A bit stiff in the cold, but otherwise perfect!

Bought this for my cotton candy business and love it! It reaches as far as I need it to reach and handles the heavy load of my cotton candy machine. If I ever need another cord of this length and power, this will be the one I buy!
