You mentioned extension cords. * Cut cords easily become two shorter

Costco had a 100' 12 ga extension cord on for really cheap. I have no
use for 100' of cord, but bought it anyway with the intent to cut at
25, 25, and 50. Those get use all the time. I bought proper industrial
grade plugs as well. I guess it is a modular 100' cord now? g
