Review: Southwire Extension Cord Review - I purchased the Southwire Extension Cord in 2019 after my previous extension cord failed, not knowing quite what to expect. I decided to give it a shot, and I have been pleasantly surprised by how well it has held up over the years. This cord has become my primary outdoor extension for everything from running shop vacs and holiday lighting to powering a variety of other electrical equipment. It has consistently surpassed all my expectations. Regardless of the weather—rain, snow, or bright sunshine—the cord continues to perform without any electrical issues, fraying, or visible weathering. Its durability and reliability have truly impressed me, making it a dependable choice for outdoor use. I still own and regularly use this very same cable today, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a sturdy, trustworthy extension cord.
Review: Great purchase! - Great, glad I purchased this item. It’s just the right length for my needs. Strong cord and good quality. Sadly I accidentally cut through the cord. I’ll be ordering another soon.

*by D***. on October 28, 2025*

Works good. Powers my ShopVac from my 3rd floor apartment to the parking lot. all I needed. probably can't handle too much more. not 100% power, but close enough. hasn't got hot.. I only use it for 20-30minutes.
