> 3 dayI will admit right away I didnt buy my Yellow Jacket 50 Foot 12/3 15 Amp Extension Cord #2884 on Amazon.com - I bought it at my local Mills Fleet Farm, and it is my second one. I paid the extra money because it performs the way I want it to - its VERY durable, it stays flexible (Ive used my first one at temps -43*F and it has stayed flexible), there is a light in the female end to indicate it is on (very handy), the ones Ive bought have been made in the USA, and there is a Limited Lifetime Warranty (their damage, they pay; your damage, you pay). At the store I confirmed it said Made in USA on the front of the cardboard packaging but when I got this one home, I read the rest of the cardboard packaging and found where it said Made in Indonesia above the UPC Code - interesting, right? The next morning I called Coleman Cable in Waukegan, IL and asked where it was made, and according to the #2884, it was made in Waukegan, IL, and the mistake on the packaging was an oversight at the time, but has been corrected. I read some of the negative reviews regarding where the some of the cords were made, lack of warranty, and not being able to contact Customer Service, so here is their contact info: Coleman Cable Inc. 1530 Shields Drive Waukegan, IL 60085 Tel: (847) 672-2300 Fax: (847) 689-1192 Toll Free: (800) 323-9355 and you can speak to them, too.

> 3 dayI use this to run my small deep freezer and its been working great. I like how the plug on the receiving end lights up. Wish it came in black though, more for home use (reason for 4 stars instead of 5). But for those that use this in construction, heavyduty jobs, I think they will appreciate the yellow as it is very visible.

> 3 dayI needed a 15amp extension for my 13amp lawn mower and other garden tools. Been using for a month now, left it in rain and sun for the holiday lights, no complaints.

> 3 dayWe do not have an outdoor outlet and we also have a Nissan Leaf. We use this to plug into a socket, run out a window, and out to the front of our house (we rigged a couple of coat hooks up and drape this over it) and then we plug our charging cord into this. The fact that it lights up lets us know if anything is wrong with the cord. Were six months away from the end of our three year lease, and we are on our third cord as the other two eventually burned out. This time we were smart and bought the extended warranty, but its probably still a good idea to buy a backup cord if you can.

> 3 dayThese cords have a nice flexible and smooth insulation and being 12 gauge it carries your power with minimum loss. I plug this in first and use a regular 14 guage cord for the next 25 feet I need and get no loss of power like you will if you use a thin cord from the start.
