Default Twisted extension cord

Observe his behavior, see what puts the twists into the cords. Help him
change his behaviours. Or, stretch the cord out every use, and untwist it.

My brother uses a 100 foot long, 12 gage, extension cord with his
electric lawn mower. The cord always becomes VERY twisted. They
only last two or three years before he has to replace them.

Is there some type of cord or an adapter that will prevent the cord
from being twisted? (I have seen adapters that claim to prevent
telephone handset cords from being twisted.)

My brother thinks that a flat cord might last longer than a round
cord. Is this true? Thank you in advance for any help.
