..............Plus I'm bored this weekend making cords would give me atleast something to do.......
Most places (at least stores like Big Orange and Big Blue) I know that sell SO cord sell the botton-of-the-barrell, cheap crap in bulk, not the high-quality stuff you're looking for.
I know I was thinking after I typed that, there is a supplier around here that is open on saturday mornings, but not this weekend because of the holiday:wallbash:
So, 480 if I get some good SJ that should be a lot better than even the yellow jacket cords?
Dave
SJ cord is only rated for "Hard Usage". SO is rated for "Extra Hard Usage".
O ok thanks 480, I did not know that:thumbup:

Yup thats what I'm gonna do, some 12-3SO and a few of my favorite pass and seymour cord caps, its gonna be a good time:laughing:
Dave
Dave, you may as well get some nice 12ga. 25'ers, clip the female ends and put new cords on your power tools, then you can drop some 4-ways on the SO, which you may want to step up to 10-3. Works great when you have a nice work area set up with multiple tools.:thumbsup:

That is a good idea. Do the long cords get in the way when storeing them?
Cole
I was acctually contimplating that very idea:thumbup: Especially my circular saw, that cord is never long enough! Then maybe the drill and sawzall. If I do I will deffinetly step up to 10-3 for the leader cord. Its funny, me and my dad used to always use just 14 gauge cords or what ever we picked up. Now that I am more educated:laughing: I use the thickest cord I can.
Dave
Guys does anyone have proof that 14AWG is inadequate for most powertools?.........
