Pretty awesome that a better quality extension cord with molded plugs is

Just be aware that it may not be the same cable. *Often the spooled

For most stuff it shouldn't be a problem.

Just like it is possible for a 10ga wire to be more flexible than a
14ga wire. Depends on alloys, strand count, and insulation materials.

A piece of #10 wire will not be more flexible than a #12 piece of the
same type. That's the point.
