Greater than one weekGood cords, they use to provide a address to send defective cords to, they no longer do. On Amazons site in the product details section a warranty contact telephone number is provided. This is a number to a different company that has nothing to do with yellow jacket cords. Bottom line no warranty, buy if you want a good cord but don’t expect them to honor a warranty issue.

> 3 dayThis cord is very well built and sturdy. Although a bit pricier than other options, I would purchase again over these other options for its durability and quality construction.

> 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.

07-06-2025I have only owned this product a short time, but it is obviously very well made. Its very flexible and durable and it should last a long time. Unlike cheaper cords it has heavy-duty 12 gauge wire. Ill buy a few more soon.

> 3 dayI have been using Woods yellow cords for a long time for mobile DJ use. I recently decided to upgrade my cords from 14/3 to 12/3 gauge to get a thicker cord. The 14 gauge cords are thinner and easier to handle than the 12 gauge cords so buy the size needed for your application. For light use with small items or simple household use, go with the 14/3 gauge. For power tools or anything heavy duty, go with these 12/3 cords. The ends are constructed very well and light up when power is present. Overall the cord is well made and very sturdy.
