I have a couple extension cords sitting outside (or are they chords? I'll
have to try to play them). Someday I'll catch a super discount price on
outlet strips at Harbor Freight. Cut them in the middle. Splice plug on one
end, and four or five sockets on the other end of the ext cord. Make a very
versatile gadget. I have also used an outlet box, and a duplex outlet on the
end of an extension cord (chord).

Good job Steve. I had a good laugh picturing this guy carrying his fifty
foot extension cord with a 1900 box spliced into the middle


Actually that might not be as strange as it seems. I knew a guy that had
a really long extension cord with a receptacle box in the middle. He'd
plug his contractor's saw into the receptacle and then further out he
set up his miter saw system.

With one cord, he spread his main powers tools out far enough to have
all sorts of work room around each tool.

Not only do I have one of those, but I also have a 2' extension cord
with a GFCI on the end. I made that *long* before GFCI extension cords
were readily available. I went to too many job sites that didn't have
GFCI receptacles available.
