A small tag affixed to the wire near the plug states: "For use only where not subject to frequent flexing"?
* How much flexing is too much flexing?
* When did they start putting this message on extension cords?
* Would a cord from Lowe's or TrueValue be of better quality and reliability?
- Another small tag gives the UL certification: "UL 04/87 E184278"
- SPECIFICATIONS: "Household Extension Cord, 8 ft., 3-wire Grounded Indoor Extension Cord, AWG 16/3 SPOT-2, 13 Amps, 125 Volts, 1625 Watts, Product Number 16081, Made in China, "
It is illegal to make cords with ALUMINIUM because it is a poor conductor. Made in China you say! I won't purchase "JUNK" from that country!
