Heavy duty cord

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received southwire yellow jacket 12/3 sjtw 100' YLW LE extension cord complimentary from influenster in exchange for my honest review. The cord is thick and heavy duty. The yellow stands out so it is easy to notice where the cord is while using power tools so you don't trip or accidentally cut it. The end of the cord lights up so you can tell the cord has power. I've never had a 100' cord only 25' and 50' so this 100' cord will make it so i only need to grab one cord when doing outdoor projects. The only thing I would change is add something that keeps the cord together while wrapped up. I unsure if I'll keep it in my truck for work or have it in my garage for my house.

Strong, durable, and highly functional.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to be chosen to test out the Yellow Jacket 50 foot extension cord. I was not disappointed! I work a lot with different tools that require a strong extension cord. This one fit perfectly for what I needed. 12 AWG cords are rated for long distance 1500 watt loads. The jacket was super thick and the points are soldered perfectly. This cord is made of excellent quality material . I love the vibrant yellow color of the jacket and how strong this cord is. It isn't one of those cheaply made thin flimsy cords. This one is thick and durable. It comes with a light inside each end of the plug to let you know if the cord has electricity flowing through it and is functional. The cord was easy to use and easy to store. Overall, I am very happy with the Yellow Jacket 50 foot extension cord. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality extension cord.

A great new lineup tool to our electrical business

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Saphire yellowjacket 100 foot extension cord made with OSHA specifications in mind keeps safety as the number 1 factor of importance! With us owning an electrical business, we are always needing to have extension cords running on the job, especially for new construction builds before power is even established! I love the fact that there is a light indicator on the plug to show that power is supplied. The cord is extra durable and super flexible & boasts a whopping AWG 12/3…15A/125V/1875W! there is also a limited lifetime warranty. The powerlite plug is designed for 15 years of daily use. There is strain relief that keeps the plug on the cord. There's Palmer filling for added tensile strength. It has a longer life made for three times greater resistance to abrasion. And it won't crack in cold down to -58° and won't deforming heat up to 140° so it is more weather resistant than most options!

Fantastic extension cord

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I work in construction and this extension cord is a quality one. It's quite durable and flexible, iv have some cheap ones and you can tell they're cheap not this one. The light at the end is great which helps tell you if the extension cord is working. The gauge is thick enough to hold up on like a saw, vacuum, grinder and a whole lot more.

Perfect extension cord

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect extension cord ! From the box it came in , it had a nice look and feel. Down to the cord it's self , this cord is built with great quality materials ! So it feels and handles perfectly. This cord rolls out and rolls back up with ease . My problem with most longer cords is they wanna twist all up and can be a slight pain but not with this cord . I have so many cords I have out on my job sites and at my house and this yellow jacket is my new favorite. It feels of nice quality, and it also has a light indicator that lets you know when it's got power which is always awesome . This is overall just what I look for in picking out a good extension cord

Durable extension cord that does the job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Yellow Jacket 100 ft extension cord is exactly what I want from a heavy-duty outdoor cord. The bright yellow color makes it easy to spot, and the Powerlite plug is a great touch - the indicator light lets you know instantly when the cord is live. It's very flexible and easy to maneuver, even at the 100 ft length, and it feels durable enough for real outdoor or worksite use. Simple, reliable, and well-made.

Very sturdy and durable power cord

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very durable extension cord. It has a very sturdy jacket and also it lights up when it is powered on. I use it with my garden tools and the 25 ft length is just awesome. It seems it will last a long time
