It is still a device box on a cord. That box is only listed if the
"cable" (not a cord) is secured within 12" of the push in entry.
Clare is right, you would have been better off with a power strip.
Then you would not be having the tap problem in the first place.

I usually try not to get involved in these things because the actual
code would really **** you off. ...

Indeed! The combination of NEC and OSHA for job site "handy box"
extension cords are, indeed, infuriatingly over-the-top in banning
things that are certainly safe-enough to be no real hazard at all but
just don't have the window-dressing.

Fortunately, some things can be safely ignored when don't have to answer
to OSHA...
