It's also hard to get medium weight, 14 gauge, extension cords more than

Ever hear of Amazon, Lefty?


16 gauge 100'

That's what I was thinking. He must be looking for ext cords at the
supermarket or something. 14 gauge only 12 ft? WTF?

That sounds like the "air conditioner" cords, basically big zip cords
and usually not "wet" rated. You can certainly find contractor grade
cords up to 100' at Home Depot, Lowes or Ace.
They use SJOT (or similar) cord stock with molded caps.
I also see them in the ubiquitous Harbor Fright fliers cheaper but my
guess this is an unlisted piece of Asian crap with god knows what kind
of cord or caps.
Actually some of the BEST extension cords I have seen - and at very
reasonable prices, were at Princess Auto here in Canada - our
"equivalent" to "Harbour Fright". They have CSA approval good thick
and durable insulation that remains reasonablyflexible in the cold
(important up here where it's been down to -17 already this year) and
with connectors that stay connected and don't heat up under rated
load.
An example is a 30 meter (100 ft) 14/3 single end contractor grade
cord flexible to -40 for $40 Canadian. Pretty hard to beat the price.

Also a 15 meter 12/3 with triple outlet - same spec, also for $40.00
Canadian.

They also have 50 ft 30 amp generatoe cords for $130 - Regular price
is $180 - that's 240 volt (4 wire) with twist-lock.

What Mikey seems to be looking for is a "lampcord" - and why he would
ever need anything more than 12 feet is a bit of a mystery.
