I bought a B&D 12 amp electric mower that I need a 100 feet of
extension cord for. Would it be advisable to combine two cords, which
I already have, for the 100 feet or do I need to get a 100' cord?
Thanks.
Matters not as long as the wire gauge is heavy enough to avoid current
drop-- though you might want to pick up a locking device for the wire
junction so you don't keep pulling it apart.
Pffft. No need for that -- it's a simple enough matter to loop the cords
around each other at the junction to keep them from pulling apart.
YAbut the result will be less than 100 feet long:-))
What's the big deal? If they didn't want you to daisy chain extension
cords, they would hard wire a long tail to a tool.
And multi strip plugs. Each one will plug in six more strips. The number
of final outlets is infinite.
Or so some people think...............................
