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.


There's a better way. You need:

1. short extension cord (suitable for mower)
2. power strip (with 4-8 outlets)
3. duct tape

Use #3 to attach #2 to the mower handle.
Plug #2 into #2.
Use #1 to connect the mower to #2.

Everything's plugged in so it must work :-)

If it doesn't work, trace the problem and see if you can explain why
it's not working. If you really understand that, it'll be of great
benefit to you in the future.
