15 extension cords: Project Source, Vanguard, Woods, Yellow Jacket, Southwire, Husky, Utilitech, Snow joe, Flexzilla Pro, Bergen Industries, GoGreeen, US Wire, and US Wire Extreme. Extension cords tested for voltage drop, cold temperature flexibility, extension cord end performance, cord tensile strength, extension cord end separation strength, jacket abrasion resistance, and jacket puncture resistance. The comparison is for 14 gauge extension cords. A 10, 12 and 16 gauge cord is also used to demonstrate the impact wire gauge has on extension cord performance. Please let me know if you'd like a 12 gauge extension cord comparison. I purchased all of the extension cords and supplies used to test the cords. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

Pro tip, if you ever want to prevent your good extension cords from growing legs and walking off when you take them somewhere like camping, wrap electrical tape around the cord in a couple spots, it'll make people think it's a bad cord and they'll leave it alone

As a contractor that has bought scores of cords, my most important criteria are wire gauge (Skil-saws draw up to 15 amps.) and coil ability (as at the end of the day they need to be put away). We use twist lock cords to prevent disconnection or tie a knot where the tool and cord meet. I love these tests and often use them to direct my tool purchases!

I've been happy with my 100 foot long, 12 gauge Yellow Jacket cable. The lighted end indicating current is a wonderful feature, and the 12 gauge delivers power well for the 100 foot length. Used mostly for an electric lawnmower, the cable lays flat on the lawn and has some weight so it's not easily sucked into the mower blade (this was tested on more than one occasion 😄).

@@swirlyboi8484 Maybe, but what I use and what I mostly see for corded electric are just your basic horizontal blade mower, just like a typical gasoline mower except with an electric motor (and usually a bit smaller, 18-20" instead of 20+", good for smaller lawns). I like them because they are quite, cool, lightweight, nearly maintenance-free, and I never have to mess with gasoline or oil. Mine is a Black-n-Decker model MM675, it's about 24 years old now and probably has over 1000 hours on it. Back when it was new cordless electrics were not really available because rechargeable batteries were pretty crappy (NiCad mostly, I don't recall even NiMh being commonly available yet), so if you wanted electric, corded was the only realistic option. If I ever need to replace mine I might consider a cordless now that lithium batteries are available, but it's hard to beat the low cost and infinite run time of a cord.

Handles up to 12awg SJOOW and takes punishment well. Also you can buy in bulk on amazon for like $4 ea. Fun Fact, Hubbell industrial cord ends are compatible with Hubbell cord grips/strain reliefs. The function like chinese fingers and attach to the 2 screws used for the stock cord relief. Not a fan of the Hubbell hinged caps. The Harbor freight ends are junk, and anything built like it too.

As a construction worker that uses extension cords daily, the softer cords are usually preferred. The harder jackets are stuff and a huge pain to roll up. When winter rolls around the hard jacket cords retain the shape of however they were rolled and are hard to work with. I feel like that's why the more expensive cords are the softer polymer jacketed ones.

I am an electrician, and on job sites , I rarely see fellow electricians buy extension cords like those you been testing. Many of us prefer to start with a coil of SJ Cab Tie wire, which is black neoprene jacketed and make our own, and we try to use spec grade cord ends or Hospital grade (highest) We make it any length we want, and we rarely need 12 gauge, for in multistory construction, there is a electrical outlet station at every floor with a panel and 15, 20 receptacles mounted on the board. For really heavy duty uses, we can also use SJOW wire, sometimes even 600 volt rated , but generally the boss would resist paying for it. Even the SJ is more expensive than those you tested. Most of these wires are marked , rated for 90 degree C so even in the southern US desert heat, that is within the operating range. But not if you put more than 15 amps through a 14 gauge wire for extended period.

Excellent video and test methods. Being an electrical contractor and a sound guy, I use extension cords a lot. Most seem to hold up pretty well. I have had good luck with Yellow Jacket cords from 14-10 gage. They aren't cheap but are flexible and pretty durable. I particularly like the light up plugs. Have used Husky, Woods, Dewalt and other than the Woods they all were satisfactory. I would never use a 16 gage extension for anything. Those cheap white or green cords that are sold around Christmas are junk and could burn your house down. I mostly use 12 gage wires for current flow and durability. Keep up the good job!!

For the tensile strength tests, it would likely be better to have a milli-ohm meter measuring the extension's roundtrip resistance to find out the point at which the conductors got compromised (either rising resistance from breaking strands or falling resistance from conductors getting crushed together and shorting through the insulation) which could be quite a while before total mechanical cord failure for fiber-reinforced cords.

It's been my experience that buying shop cords that multiple people will use, over sizing the wire size and heavier tougher jacket for strength and durability is the way to go. We all know how people like to stand at one end and yank the plug out of the wall socket, drive over them and pull them into knots trying to make it reach without untangling it. I have noticed they rarely do that when they pay for the cords.

Re: flexibility. I've seen a lot of brands claiming they're flexible, and they're not. Even in warm weather(Though whether they degrade more quickly with temperature or not, I'm not sure). The blue "extreme" cables(Regardless of brand I think) are usually the most flexible 14AWG cable. Ridgid has some 14AWG and 12AWG extension cords, both claiming they're flexible. Spoiler? The 12AWG 50FT is far softer and more flexible, go feel them in-store. Too bad they didn't end up in your test. Definitely do a 12 gauge comparison, and bring both Ridgid cables in, 14AWG and 12AWG.

Another incredible video comparison. This one does apply to me, as I do use extension cords on occasion. I'm using an old, orange 'industrial' grade cord, and based on your presentation, it falls in the middle of the pack for handling but near the top for durability. I've had and used this cord for nearly a decade now, and never had trouble with it, although it doesn't lay flat, especially after it has been coiled for a while. I don't know the brand of the top of my head, nor do I recall where it was purchased. As always, your presentations are superb, top notch and extremely informative. The fact that you won't accept 'free' products, nor sponsorships makes your results far more reliable than most, and you are one of a very few creators I'll stop another video for when you pop up on my feed.

This is one area where I go completely old school and make my own cords. In the last 12 years of being in business for myself, I've made three cords - two 25-ft 14 AWG and one 50-ft 12 AWG. The only reason I needed to make a second 14 AWG cord was because I ran out of SJ cable on a job and stole it from my cord. I use SO cable from the electrical supply house (600V rated vs SJ 300V rated) and the rubber insulation does fantastic when it comes to the cable keeping it's shape over time (none of that funky spiraling you see on store bought cables) as well as much improved performance in cold weather - PVC just can't compete. The two additional tests I would have included would be a table saw or large miter saw test where you try starting the motor on the extension cord which will find voltage drop issues, and a space heater continuous load test to check the cord ends with a IR thermometer or IR camera to see whether there's acceptable resistance in those connections.

I'd rather have my own leads made & tested/tagged over buying them off the shelf. The end result is so much better. Currently the main ones I use in the shed are 3G2.5mm² high temp silicone rubber (SIF) 300/500V, -60C/+180C with tinned annealed copper wires Plug & socket are easily replaceable if damaged, the silicone cable is incredibly flexible, absolutely beautiful to wrap and I don't have to be as concerned about melt through when carrying out hot works. For more ruggedised cables I use some made from 3G2.5 & 3G6 RV-K (XLPE) which is thin & light for its CSA and has -40C/+90C ratings which is still better than PVCs - 15C/+75C I really like using RV-K because it wraps well, has a good memory and whilst it might not quite be as tough as Titanex it's significantly cheaper, thinner & lighter which makes a massive difference. Both cable types have their benefits, and save cost are so much nicer to use than PVC. In my past job, it was nothing to wrap well over a kilometre (3280' or 0.62 miles) of cables in a day so believe me when I say that this stuff is nice in the hands.

Todd, great video as usual. I’ve been watching your videos since you had around 600k subscribers and you haven’t disappointed yet. I’m glad you have had a lot of growth and success on your channel. Have you ever thought about a behind the scenes video of you during product testing or a short video of all the tests you have running at one time? I’m sure you constantly have products sitting in the sun or soaking in corrosive fluids scattered around your shop lol.

Great video, as always. Simple suggestion: if you're going to average (mean) rankings across tests, it would probably be useful to also include a variance calculation. Just noting the cord with the highest mean finish across tests also has the highest range, and hypothetically speaking I'd probably rather purchase an item that finished 7th across the board over a cord that finished 1st in half the tests and 12th in the other half.

Recently purchased the yellow jacket and happy with it but it is a little stiff which turned out to be the case in your testing as well haha. Thanks so much for the amazing testing.

Been waiting for this one. But now I'm probably going to upgrade from all my Walmart brand cords.

I did not think I would be interested in this video as much as others, even though I use extension cords a lot, simply because they're just . . . extension cords. But the variety of tests done to them was really informative and these considerations will likely factor in to my future purchases!
