There are three factors you need to consider when choosing an extension cord. One is power and safety. How do you know that your cord has power? Two of the cables we’ve selected have lighted ends to show you when they are plugged in or safely unplugged.
Another factor is durability. All three cords we chose have reinforced blades to prevent accidental bending or breaking of the power prongs. Whether you’re looking for the most durable, easiest to store, or most visible cord, we have a product for you.
What kind of extension cord do you need? You know you need it to be at least 50 feet, but there are thousands of different cables to choose from. A thicker cord is usually better, as the devices that need more power need larger wires inside, and you still want that weather and durability protection.
