What can a 12-gauge 50-foot cord power?

It handles heavy loads such as circular saws, table saws, space heaters and generator runs. It carries more current over 50 feet than 14- or 16-gauge cords.

Can it be used outdoors?

Yes. The SJTW jacket is rated for outdoor use from -40°F to 140°F, and the cord is grounded and UL certified.

How many devices can I plug in?

The triple-tap end takes up to three devices at once, within the cord's total amperage rating.

It is heavier and stiffer than a light household cord, so coiling takes more effort. A cord reel helps.

Does it work with a generator?

Yes. It is a common choice for running tools and lights from a generator outlet over distance.
